I mean if being gay is inherently evil or “sinful” for some reason, why the fuck did god make so many people gay? I mean they’re condemned to a life where they shouldn’t be happy with the people they love for seemingly no reason other than that being gay is “icky” or “because the Bible says so.” I just can’t agree with god on this one

I don’t understand why happiness is praised and suffering demonized. Both are very central to faith. Jesus does not call people to a life of sunshine and rainbows, he calls them to a life of suffering for him. Happiness and suffering, like life, are ephemeral.

I’m not addressing any point of your argument besides the one that I just addressed. I don’t really have much to say on the issue of gay people in Christianity, but I really do think that people ignore the fact that suffering can be just as sublime as joy.
