People always tell me suicide is most selfish act anyone can do to Thier loved ones, but they never think how selfish it is of them to make someone go through hell just to keep thier feelings safe, if that makes sense.
I’m not necessarily talking about myself, but there are people with mental disorders or really bad problems that suicide is thier only way out. like schizophrenia for example, even though I believe it is not the only way out but it’s a choice.
I’ve just been reading yall’s stories for the past couple of days and let me just say my story is NOTHING compared to yours. I am so sorry for what has happened to y’all I wish I could trade lifes with y’all so you wouldn’t have to live through that….
I’m gay, and no obviously I didn’t choose to be. I’ve really been thinking about suicide but I don’t want to burn in hell(which makes me selfish though) but apparently im going to hell because I’m gay even though I didn’t choose to be? I’m starting to think of God differently than what the “bible” says. I think there is enough proof to show he exist but why would he create something to perish in hell if we have free will? Im thinking that being gay isn’t a sin and neither is commiting suicide. The bible rarely ever touches on the topic of suicide if it even does. And I think man put homosexuality as a sin just because they hate it.I don’t think God is so “loving” if he would do such a thing to humans. Just my opinions, I know there is something probably in here that contradicts so please tell me your input on this topic

i totally agree with everything you have to say. Though i am not gay i have been suicidal many times and tried to kill myself several times. But i dont see how its just me being the selfish one when my family wants me to continue suffering to please them. I dont think this is fair.
God, if such an entity exists could have created us for a number of reasons, and if he was to provide us with a paradise after death, I doubt he would punish people of a homosexual persuasion. People with different sexual needs to others are human beings who love and are loved exactly the same as other people are. You are a special person and I am sure your God loves you. Don’t let anyone tell you differently, ever.
The universe can self-create due to quantum fluctuations. Therefore there’s no need for God. He almost certainly does not exist. Don’t worry about hell. Don’t worry about what everyone thinks. Worry about this life and what makes you happy.
I do not think that just because your gay you will go to hell. God loves you and knows whats in your heart. No one is the judge of who is going to hell and whos going to heaven besides God.
There is no hell.
Death results in the same end for all – nonexistence.
How can a true god condemn someone for something they had no choice over (sexual orientation for example). What worries me is the things we DO have a choice in – like suicide. God could condemn us for that. IF god exists.
Good luck.
I’d have to agree with all the above.
I don’t mean to bash your religion if you still believe – but I find it hard to believe a God will send you to hell because of your sexual orientation( that you may or may not have chosen ).
As for making sense, it makes sense( the first top part ).
Believe in whatever makes you feel best, but don’t be afraid of a hell or an angry god…As the people above have pointed out.
i think the issue with god and homosexuals is all about the sex.
sex is an act which MUST result in procreation, in the eyes of the religious anyway.
when gays ahve sex, there is no conception therefore it is a sin, just as a straight couple may not use a condom.
also this excerpt
“‘Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.” Leviticus 18:22
Don’t listen to what you’ve always been told is what God expects of you. Everything you have heard, everything you believe has been told to you by some PERSON.
Decide for yourself if there is a hell, if there is a God. I think if there is a god and you’re looking for him/her/it the first place to start is with yourself not some book that some group of men with their own political and cultural agendas wrote to subvert the people.
I’m gay or bisexual (not sure which one) and it was really hard for me to understand this because I thought I loved God and understood what he required of/for me. Then when I realised I wasn’t who I thought I was I thought God had actually created me just to suffer. It was this thought that made me realise that that ‘God’ who apparently hates people for not believing him, is jealous, is going to punish you in eternal hell fire might not be the God that deserves believing in or at least that deserves your devotion. Perhaps there’s another one… Look for him/her/it…Look deep inside yourself for that voice that speaks of love, acceptance, freedom and truth. Don’t listen to the one that speaks of hate, separation and destruction.
The bible is full of judgement on peoples choices im an atheist i have read the bible and been to church and deducted its a load of balony in my eyes.live and treat everyone as you want to be treated yourself no church is needed for that just a good set of morals and sexual orientation is private and between the couple having a relationship i think you are ok and stop worrying im not judging you gay is ok im straight but who cares have a good one..
