Can you be lgbt and religious?

>>40448121 (OP)
yes. picrel is blasphemous though.

>>40448121 (OP)
Of course you can, because god has mercy for all.

>>40448121 (OP)
Yes. Hail Odin

>>40448121 (OP)
out of all abrahamic faiths, the church of satan is the most pure and wholesome and has got the least amount of people killed and never started any major wars or conflicts unlike christianity,islam judaism.

so it is the good one.
isn't that irony.

>>40448121 (OP)
nope. only retards would do that.

the only reason why religion is nice to have is because unironically the intellectual bottom 30% would rape, pillage, and murder freely without it. they need a scary man in the cloud to stop them from doing so. simple

> 1 Samuel 15:3
>"Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys"

god also enjoys telling his people to kill innocent children and women for inhabiting le promised land

this might just be a jew thing tho idk

>>40448121 (OP)
Only if you are exceptionally stupid

>>40448121 (OP)
Yes, buddhism doesn't have any LGBT bashing in its texts.

How about this one

>>40448121 (OP)
im extremely religious, just not for any of that abrahamic blood worship.
>>40448822
church of satan attracts a lot of dorks but has legitimately done real tangible good for the victims of organized religion. its really really funny.

i heard a tranny giving a speech at an outdoor methodist church at the park today.
however, i dont recognize methodist as a valid form of Christianity.
>.t Catholic

>>40450038
Christianity is bullshit anyway.

>>40448121 (OP)
I hope so. I really want a Christian trans gf.

>>40450038

>>40448121 (OP)
yea ima tranny and im buddhist

>>40448121 (OP)
Yes I am, and my friend from church is queer

>>40449863
how does this seem to work for everyone but me

>>40450038
I'm Lutheran but i might go to a catholic church when i move

Not. Every. Religion. Is. Evangelicalism.

Greetings, fellow Lutheran

>we're not the same, we just believe 95% of the same things and they're louder about it

>>40448121 (OP)
Yes but you can never represent Christianity because you’ll always be living in sin. There is no way to repent for being gay besides not being gay

>>40448121 (OP)
Yes sikhism has nothing against it

>>40448121 (OP)
christianity and islam are off-limits but otherwise i don't really know. it depends on the religion

>>40448121 (OP)
i am. i am a sinner with or without my homosexuality. also i dont agree with paul views on homosexuality and i think his homphobia was a cultural context

>h-how are you going to disagree with one of the fathers of the church???

the apostles were human. you can see on the dispute of antioch how paul and peter dispute over if the gentiles should be able to convert to christianity or not, not even them knew about certain theology topics, showcasing that they can be wrong

at the end of the day i dont care if i go to hell or to heaven. i love god and i feel loved by him and i'll preach his word among the living and not among the dead

>>40449093
>the only reason why religion is nice to have is because unironically the intellectual bottom 30% would rape, pillage, and murder freely without it. they need a scary man in the cloud to stop them from doing so. simple

if atheism is something that only intelectual people have, i rather be dumb. i prefer to be a good person before being smart

>>40452789
>i prefer to be a good person before being smart
implying you need religion to be a 'good person'?

>>40448121 (OP)
Reform and Conservative Judaism are more than fine with gay/trans stuff, I even see Modern Orthodox jews that are able to be openly gay in their communities and still go to synagogue just fine.

I do think Buddhism is probably the most "correct" religion, I only have a very surface level understanding of it but it seems almost more like a philosophy like stoicism than a religion. I think you could strip out the praying towards the buddha/having statues of him and syncretize buddhist practice with like 99% of religions

>>40452806
yes. the natural state of the human being is sin. though sin and the soul isn't the same thing, they live in a sadistic coherence. we are what we are because ethical grounds have been put before us. no one leads to good by their own efforts but by love, and since god is love, we do good because god is within and though us

A (goodness) equals B (love) wich equals C (god)

>>40452763
Incredibly based and Christ-pilled

>>40452886
thank you anon, god bless you

>>40452837
No, buddhism doesn't believe in a soul, there is no soul in buddhism, most other religions, if not all, believe in a soul.

>>40452919
how does that make sense with reincarnation? Even if they don't call it a soul having your essence taken out of and put into another vessel seems pretty soul-like

>>40452919
this. the worst possible outcome of buddhism is his victory over asia. buddhism is a nihilistic religion that should be absolutely terminated

>>40453000
better than christianity

I kind of wonder if a 30 year old tranny will look back on themselves in pictures like OP pic and cringe. Remembering back to all the anglefrauding and all that, trying to desperately look young/anime. Whatever, I guess at least he made a buck off gooners.

He'll be too rich to care.

22, i just grew up southern baptist and am not fond of the religion
i know not all christians are bad but my hatred of fundies and evangelicals sometimes bleeds over into all christians and i should stop it

>>40453163
>i just grew up southern baptist

protestantism is not christianity. pic related is

>>40448121 (OP)
i hope so
t. catholic troon

>>40453000
No, buddhism is not a nihilistic religion, the bodhisattva ideal is pretty engaged with life, charity and compassion, buddhism is the true religion of peace and healing, you need to read the sutras, start by the Lotus Sutra.

>>40453163
>>40453320
on a serious matter. i am sorry that you grew up on a religion that despises spirituality. faith isn't read line by line but it is hold it by what is written before and after. fundamentalism doesn't have any reason to be in christianity, since christianity is a religion that tells you that no matter how broken you are, there is an overhelming love that will conquer every wound you have. i hope one day you can forgive those protestant people and find god again

Yes you can be. the op is some tranime porn larp though.

>>40453347
mahayana buddhism is not buddhism. therevada canon has already been edited by various authors so you can imagine that tracing back orthodox teachings to the original buddha is already hard, then if we compare, mahayana pales on how heretic it is. nothing in mahayana buddhism was said by the buddha and their ethical core has nothing to do with the deep buddhist teachings wich again, relay on nihilistic ulterior motives. sila or ethics exist because it was a way to hold the religion to a general public but when you go deeper into buddhist dharma you realize that sila has actually no weight at all when it comes to the core of buddhism (self-extermination)

>>40453347
>>40453386
btw i already read the lotus sutra, aside from the mahaparanirvana sutra. funny how the mahaparanirvana sutra uses semantic gymnastics to describe the tathāgatagarbha as the real self even though their whole philosophy centers around nihilism

>>40452999
It's all a stream of consciousness that is changing at every moment.

>>40453340
>t. catholic troon

how you do it? asking serious

>>40448390
>yes. picrel is blasphemous though.
you realize there isn't like a literal powerful creature thing in the stars getting offended at you not taking him sufficiently seriously, right

>>40452999
what >>40453421 said. absolutely mental gymnastics to deny the soul. damn i hate buddhism

>>40453438
i would tell you to kill yourself, but i hope you are forgiven and saved, retard

>>40453439
The christian idea of the soul is absolutely wrong, you will die, whatever it is that bridges reincarnations will undergo a change as it always has, it will not be same as before, because nothing is permanent, not even the self, well, there's ONE thing that's permanent and that's the Buddha, the mind of illumination that is within all sentient things.

>>40453349
based, thanks anon. i've always found catholicism cool aesthetically, my biggest hangups are obviously my previous experience with protestantism, but less obviously the anti-gay stuff in the bible as well as the fact i'm in a particularly bad area to be trans in the presence of a christian, catholic or not
that said, catholics have consistently been some of the most accepting christians i've met

>>40453434
it's just medical treatment

>>40448121 (OP)
No, especially not any religion like christianity, jews, muzzies, maybe even hindoodoos.
Be spiritual pagan atheist agnostic, religion, especially organized religion is a scam and its all bullshit.
Blaire white is a hypocrate in that way.
You can have a spritual connection to god or nature but in religion you cant be gay or trans because IT IS LITERALLY AGAINST THE RELIGION.

>>40452806
i wonder where you took your idea of a "good person"

>>40453000
you probably love all the politicians meddling in your life too

>>40448121 (OP)
Busted, dead and forgotten meme femboy. What a fucking joke.

>>40453349
You are merely sugarcoating the worst parts of the text. Even reading in the proper context, christian theology is all about the eternal damnation for the unrepentant.

>>40454309
u jelly sis

>>40448121 (OP)
Of course you can. I don't think being lgbt is a sin.

>>40448121 (OP)
Lots of priests are pedo and/or gay. So yes.

>>40454327
it is not. is about love. is reindivicated in the bible as it highest point. damnation and hell exist because if there was no evil or punishment then christianity would lost its value. christianity is a religion of pain, i dont know how i am sugarcoating it. also, the difference here is that pain is a door though love

>>40448390
this.
>>40453438
Not this. Jesus loves you tho.

>>40452763
Yeah you get it.
I love you.

>>40453472
maybe on earth things pass though, but the soul is otherworldy and eternal. in heaven there is no time nor space. just divine grace. i am not a mormon but i like their idea of how all souls are literal children of god and that they cohexist by an heavenly familiar bound. in heaven everything is possible and there is no decay

>>40455676
thank you emily of 4chan. i do see a lot of people who are hurt because how protestantism have failed them to fullfill a spiritual reason. not that catholicism or orthodoxy are anyhow perfect, at the end of the day, the church is a human intstitution. the only thing we can do when we are in doubt is to keep our eyes in the sky and pray. ask, and you will recieve

>>40453478
i am glad. i cant convert you to christianity, i do not posses the courage not the words to do so, and if i tried, i'll probably make you more of an atheist than a christian, and i also understeand that christianity sees homosexuality as a sin, and i understeand that bothers you, it does bother me as well. you cannot be perfect, we are what we are. if you cannot change yourself in that regard, just dont do it, try to be the best of you under what you are capable of. being a good person is what really matters, and to love the other as oneself. if one day you feel like you are being called, then anwser, i cant do that for you because thats god job. just dont be afraid of being weak and confront those who hurt you with kindness, you will feel much at peace

>>40448121 (OP)
Islamic or Catholic no. buddhist of course yes.

bible mentions gaeh sexx like 2 times. you can check out for fun what else bible forbids of doing or says is a sin

>>40455621
better take it in the butt physically than spiritually

>>40455685
>A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
To an atheist this sounds trite, something along the lines of "don't be a dick". To the faithful this is an impossible ask. I cannot possibly love you as Jesus loves us.I'll do my best, but there's no actual chance I'm going to get close.

And that's the rule, that's the real rule. That's the only rule that matters. People think catholicism is a free pass to sin. I say free? There's nothing free about it. It's asks everything of me and I give it without hesitation.

>>40455816
quran i think attacks more homosexuality. but seeing it was written by literal pedophiles that's not surprising. homosexuality seem to be common scapegoat among child rapists even today

>>40455844
>I cannot possibly love you as Jesus loves us.

exactly! thats the whole point. god love us because he choose us not because we choose him. god love unconditionally because he is god, he is perfect. human beings need to put an effort to have a sense of 'agape' since we usually naturally lead to rape, murder and distrust. christianity ask us to have a unnatural sense of empathy, so much that more often than not, is strikes us down. but i can say that a lot of anger inside me has been released when i learned to forgive and to love with more sight. to be perfected in the christian life is to be weak

>>40456011
>i can say that a lot of anger inside me has been released when i learned to forgive and to love with more sight
OMG so much this!
Sometimes I feel like the love of Jesus is going to pop me like a balloon. It never does tho.

>>40455915
actually no. no at all, the quran doesn't attack homosexuality nor it mentions that is bad thing in all its writting. hadith on the other place do. the thing is that hadith are so inversed in the muslim culture that is almost if not way more important than the quran, though they are not sacred by any means and highly disputed. with this said. muslims see quranist (the people who only follow the quran) as subhuman beings, wich is a shame

>>40456026
dont force it, let love to integrate to your core. it will grew if you share that love in the shape of good actions towards other people. if i were for me, i'll send myself straight to hell if that meant to saved all humankind

>>40456065
Not me. I'm not that good. I'm never giving up this love. I'll do whatever He wants.
I just wish He'd give me the resources to show him how good I can be.

>>40456041
I hate when people try to defend islam.

>>40456133
why? islam is a very misunderstood religion. i am a christian and i love islam. i am sorry you only know islam from post-9/11 propaganda

>>40456081
>I'll do whatever He wants

dont forget its a relationship anonette. he would never ask you to do something that you cant handle. you are a good girl with a kind heart and i can see how god speak though you

>>40456198
islam was ruined by people who said the love islam

being religious is being against reality in the same way the religious will accuse you without evidence or rational basis of being for simply being trans or even gay

>>40457108
>being religious is being against reality

wrong

>will accuse you without evidence or rational basis of being for simply being trans or even gay

also wrong

>>40456726
if you say so

>>40448121 (OP)
What kind of photoshop this one uses.. when you see her videos she looks like a british man

>>40457182
nah it's right, faith is the rejection of evidence and critical thinking in favor of whatever you want to or are told to believe or simply imagine

>>40457239
>faith is the rejection of evidence and critical thinking in favor of whatever you want to or are told to believe or simply imagine

>or are told to believe

your statement is literally a value of enlightment. you believe critical thinking is better than faith because you have been taught that due your culture being under the ideas of enlightment. yet, you have faith in these same ideas. you need to understeand that almost everything you know it has been taught to you and you have faith on those things, not because you know it in first hand but because they have been inculted in you. you cannot being totally dependent of though because your ideas have been built before you, and you didn't make them, is more like a legacy

>>40458028
but that didn't make any sense lol you actually think everyone else operates on faith the way you do...

your god is dead and your faith is death, cultist

>>40458108
>but that didn't make any sense lol you actually think everyone else operates on faith the way you do...

i shouldnt be mad but are you fucking retarded? did you even read what i wrote? you operate on faith you wanted or not. you follow a narrative inculted by you as a kid. you are not the owner of your own thoughs

>>40453438
>yes. picrel is blasphemous though.
>you realize there isn't like a literal powerful creature thing in the stars getting offended at you not taking him sufficiently seriously, right

wait, people think of God as like a literal entity? isn't it just a metaphor

>>40458172
huh?

>>40448121 (OP)
All Mainline Protestant churches - Lutheran, Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopal - and quasi-churches like Unitarian Universalists are extremely woke. The boomer congregations will be so excited to Be An Ally and that you are making their congregation Diverse And Affirming. Just avoid Baptist, non-denominational, Roman Catholic, and Orthodox churches.

As a professing Biblical Christian, let me take this opportunity to say the the Lord made you exactly as you are, and if you are gay or trans, that is part of His design. You could be a member, get married, or even be a pastor in my church.

>>40459826
listen to pastor jim over here

>>40448121 (OP)
yeah I don't see why not, already got outspoken gay priests. despite the bible being against that shit.

outside of middle eastern religions like Jews, Muslims and Christians. I don't know if other religions hate gays. all I know is Norse pagans didn't violently hate them, it was merely seen as shameful and embarrassing to be the receiver, which is a common theme in other cultures.
