I finished the movie now PP...thanks for the recommendation. I was prepared to turn it off as I was not sure which perspective the movie came from...I remember watching Jesus Camp and becoming physically ill so I didn't want that to happen again...
The main reason I reject the Bible is the Leviticus verse (and ALL of Leviticus Verses) and the people who quote it usually have no idea what the verses before and after that say and of course they break those rules while condemning gays...but still that isn't THE problem for me...it is the conditioning and brainwashing that allows them to ignore what I said to keep what they "believe" to be "THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH"...and the insanity that allows them to use a passage out of a book and claim it is THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH and ignore all of the other passages that that refer to them from the SAME BOOK THEY CLAIM IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH..that is why I have distanced myself from the Bible because if it happened to so many other people you never know when it could happen to you. How do you lose your brain and your heart and your soul all at the same time? YIKES! We all have questions and fear and shame and those are the moments we are most vulnerable and might start to internalize that nonsense...fear and shame will bind you.
At the same time I am thankful to those people because instead of being a good example they have been a horrible warning and because of that I routinely...usually once every couple of years..take everything I believe and throw it on the table...I strip myself bare...and then I take what I still feel is true and what resonates with my heart/mind/soul/spirit and keep it and I throw the rest away. It is an odd feeling when that happens and at the moment it does I understand what keeps alot of those people where they are. To let everything you find comfort in and believe go at once is scary...I know because it scares me initially every time I do it...but the fear subsides and I feel stronger every time because I was willing to let it go...it makes what I keep alot clearer because I have an even deeper understanding of it...
...and so when someone else tells me that I certainly do not know the joy they feel as I am missing something and they are some kind of authority on "joy" and of course am not capable of feeling any joy of my own (or maybe it isn't the right kind of joy??) because I don't see things the way they do and surely when or if I do "come around" I will know "the truth" according to them and then play a victim when their behavior is pointed out to them...ummm...BITE ME!
