Yesterday as picked up a newspaper from the local stand, I noticed that Saturday was the annual Gay Pride Parade. As I read it I chuckled. The person next to me was a movie regular I see her there all the freaking time (she's about 70ish). She asked "Anything new?" I told her without thinking, "I guess the GPP was yesterday." She then comments that she wishes they would have all stayed in California.
She then asks me my opinion (bad idea). I tell her that I have no problems with it, they do not hurt or bother me. She then says that god considers them an abomination. So I said "Oh, god said that huh?" She replies yes it's in the bible and I can show it to you. I then tell her that the bible was written by people. She says "Oh don't give me that, it was inspired by god!"
I think to myself who am I to say what is or what isn't inspired by god so I leave it at that. But I do wonder if god inspired the Spanish Inquisition, or those priest that rape little boys, or countless other atrocities.
So I figure I would ask you all what are your thoughts on this subject?
