This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I was talking in terms of my religious beliefs. If you aren't a Christian, my opinion doesn't concern you.
Serious question: is the morality of homosexuality actually brought into question in the old/new testaments, or is this one of those things where people have chosen to interpret some shit creatively? Seen quite a few of those creative takes, like the people claiming the "hot or cold" or "camel through the eye of the needle" bits are actually some obscure references to local conditions rather than actual moral lessons.
Bible is pretty clear.
1 Corinthians 6:9
Romans 1:26-27
As for the "hot and cold", that type of thing is up for interpretation, although I hold that hot water is good and so is cold water. I believe that's what Jesus was referring to.
The "Camel through an eye of a needle" with the "eye of the needle" being a gate is a total myth made up by the rich to try and justify their greed. Jesus meant what we read it as today. For extra clarification, the original greek even refers to the word "needle" with different words, one is surgical, I believe the other one is fishing related. So it couldn't be a place. Jesus meant what He said - it is easier for a camel to go through an eye of a needle than a rich person to get into heaven.
wow what a hateful book
