Yeah, no.

For the second month in a row now, I’ve gotten an invite from a very very casual acquaintance to attend a “Queer Folks Bible Study.” When I saw the invite last month, I deleted the invite and simply RSVP’d “no” This time around, I became annoyed.

A quick glance at my feed showing many posts on a group called “Atheist Movie Night” and my consistent WEEKLY attendance of an event called “Atheist Movie Night”, and you think I’m interested in joining your stupid bible study?

It’s more than just revealing you’re just inviting every gay person with whom you’re friends. The idea of Gay people being christian or trying to reconcile faith is repugnant to me. This is a faith which clearly states and actively preaches its doctrine that homosexuality is evil, disgusting and should be punished both here and beyond death. There’s no making excuses. It’s fucking there in the book which christians say is the infallible word of their god. You can’t have it both ways, you can’t say “well that was then, this is now” or “not all things in the bible are applicable to today’s society” BLAH BLAH BLAH. Those are the words of a christian apologist and I’m not interested in them.

Christians are realizing they’ve lost many many people with their hypocritical message of “love everyone, except them” and now some straight people want to take gays back into church. Well sorry, you fucked up by being hateful pricks the first time, I don’t think you should get another chance.

For the record, I’m not an atheist because I couldn’t reconcile faith and sexuality. I’m an atheist because I started thinking about just what was being purported as true in the christian faith and kept finding it didn’t add up. Like, not by a long shot. Like, book keeping at Enron “not adding up”

I’m so glad I figured out the ruse and have been able to live my life above some primitive ancient framework, and I resent the christians who are trying to reclaim gays- the group most predisposed to realizing what christianity- and any other religion- really is: a complete fucking lie. Santa Claus times a trillion.

I’m considering going to the bible study so I can say all of this. I’ll go and convert people away from the stupid, hypocritical, emotionally and intellectually damaging act that is the christian practice. If any of my fellow triangle gaytheists would like to crash this queer bible study with me, holla
