Re: SO. How about religion, eh?

[(Anonymous)]

I suppose you'll want to take this with a grain of salt because I'm an atheist, but I was raised in a somewhat middle-of-the-road but not crazily conservative Protestant sect. I never really worried about hell because my religion wasn't really into the whole fire and brimstone thing.

The issues you're struggling with now are pretty much the same issues I struggled with. It was really hard to believe that God is supposed to fair and just could damn homosexuals and unbelievers. It was also really hard to believe that a loving God would allow so much suffering happening to good people. Phrases like "God works in mysterious ways" always left a sour taste in my mouth because it implies that as terrible as we feel, God knows best. That's really cold comfort when your grandmother is dying or children are starving somewhere in the world.

Anyway. It's a tough struggle because the ideas are in direct conflict. Either God is good, loving and benevolent and would support your defense of homosexuals, or he's not and he wouldn't. Most people who want to remain in the faith believe the latter, because the alternative is unthinkable. It doesn't make you a hypocrite to be conflicted. These are issues people have struggled with for centuries, and the answers are still not entirely satisfactory.

The key is to find peace with the knowledge that like everyone else, you're trying to find the answers. In the meantime, you try as best you can to live a good life regardless of what you think God might want. Morality and ethics are not permanently tied to religion, they can be exercised separately. As long as you do that, I think you'll be happy with your life now. What happens after life... well, that's something we'll all have to find out eventually.
