EVERYTHING

The God that I believe in has created everything in this world...EVERYTHING. We are all part of a race that has been on this planet for a millennia before the Jewish or Christian faiths were created. Christianity - as a faith - is very young. I choose to believe that God loves everyone and everything the way it is. People do not choose to be gay - just as people say they don't choose who they fall in love with. I also believe that the Bible that is being quoted is not the "written in stone" word of God...it is an interpretation - SEVERAL interpretations actually - of what MAN has come to believe as sacred. This Word has been modified from its original context, reduced from its original size and placed in context of a very specific place and time. I believe that God's true word is inside each and every one of us. WE are God's Word. The trees, the birds, the very things that were created are a living embodiment of what God wants for this earth. People ask, "How could God let this happen?" If you truly believe God created everything then the most logical (parental) answer would be "Because". I choose to believe that God chose to make this world exactly as it is… poison ivy, roses, chocolate, sunburns, homosexual, heterosexual and all.
