Religion and money

I WAS RAISED A STAUNCH ROMAN CATHOLIC.....HOWEVER AS I MATURED I BROKE AWAY FROM THE CHURCH.WHY???TO SAVE MY SANITY.EITHER BREAK TIES WITH THE CHURCH OR KILL YOURSELF! THOSE WERE YOUR OPTIONS IN 1965, IF YOU WERE A GAY MALE,QUIVERING IN THE CLOSET.I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I CONTEMPLATED SUICIDE.MOST GAY PEOPLE DO/DID.AT SOME POINT IN THEIR LIVES.USUALLY AT AN EARLY AGE.MANY GAY TEENS STILL COMMIT SUICIDE ,THE PERCENTAGE IS DRAMATICALLY HIGHER THAN THEIR STRAIGHT COUNTERPARTS.THINK OF ALL THE PEOPLE KILLED.ALL THE LIVES RUINED(THINK BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN). ALL IN THE NAME OF HATE. WE ARE PROGRAMMED TO FIND A GROUP TO PICK ON.AND BULLY IT UP!!YOU ARE TOLD THAT YOU ARE BETTER THAN THE OTHER PERSON.YOU BELIEVE IT AND FOLLOW THROUGH,NEVER QUESTIONING THE PREMISE OF YOUR JUSTIFICATIONS. WELL THE HATE ETC. COMES FROM RELIGION.MAINLY THE BIBLE.HOWEVER I BELIEVE THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN BY PEOPLE.WHAT GOD WOULD CONDONE SLAVERY AND HATE. WHAT GOD WOULD HAVE THE CATHOLIC EXECUTE HERETICS BECAUSE THEY SAID THE EARTH WAS ROUND AND THAT WE ORBITED THE SUN. OR THAT EATING SHELLFISH IS AN ABOMINATION....THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN BY MEN ....GOD MADE ALL OF US TO HELP/LOVE EACH OTHER. NOT TO HATE/JUDGE EACH OTHER..LEAVE THE JUDGING TO HIM.MONEY.WE ALL KNOW THE DEAL THERE.GOT US INTO OUR CURRENT ECONOMIC CRISIS I.E. GREED!(EARLIER I OMITTED CATHOLIC (CHURCH).ANYWAY I AM DONE RAMBLING/RANTING....P.S.I HAVE BEEN WITH MY PARTNER OVER 25 YEARS.........NEXT BLOG....WHY CAN'T I GET MARRIED ONCE.LIZ TAYLOR IS ON NUMBER SIX I BELIEVE!LOL....
