To "Spiritual Leaders" of the United States and the "Religious Right": PART TWO





You know, I was hoping to save part two of my open letter for later on in the summer, but after the garbage that's been in the news, lately, I guess I'll be making more than two parts to this open letter. You know, I'm getting pretty tired of having to keep writing these kind of posts on my blog, but since you haven't opened your ears/eyes yet, let me help you once again.

You want to know something? The majority of the LGBT community will have a better chance of getting into heaven than you and the rest of your bigoted, fear-mongering, genocide-calling friends. Want to know why? Because the LGBT community is fighting for the RIGHT THING. They're fighting for the right to have a consentual, loving relationship with the person they choose to be with, regardless of gender. They're fighting for the right to be happy, safe and healthy. They're fighting to stop the bullying-caused deaths that have been happening on a regular basis. They're fighting against HATE and the fear of death.

To sum it up so that maybe, just maybe you'll get it? They're fighting for EXACTLY what YOUR GOD wanted people to fight for.

You know why you don't stand a chance of entering the gates of Heaven? Because you promote everything that YOUR GOD was against. You fight for the right to tax the poor. You fight for the right to bully others. You fight for the right to force your religion on others without their consent. You fight for the right to harm women and children. YOU fight for the right to advocate the murder of innocent people in the LGBT community just because you don't understand, nor will you ever, what that community is all about. You fight for the right to withhold proper medical care from anyone who does not believe the same as you, for example, contraception. You fight for the right to make poor families suffer without proper medical care or access to government services that might help them get on their feet and do something with their lives. You fight for the right to teach children LIES. You fight for the right to force children to be ignorant about important facts.

And the minute you do any of the above, you become a Fascist. Every time you say that Gays (or anyone) should be put to death, you become JUST. LIKE. HITLER. Yeah, I said it. And I mean it.

You know what you'll never understand about the Bible? (Other than it was written by a MAN) You'll never understand the most important passage in the entire book: "For God so loved the World, that he gave his only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in him shall have eternal life" . Jesus promoted love, not hate. Forgiveness, not anger. Honesty instead of lying. And for crying out loud, please PLEASE go back and read that book. Read it like you're viewing it from a bullied teenager's eyes. Read it like you've just found out that it's just a story book. Read it and realize that half of what the Apostles taught after Christ died were things that Jesus didn't even mention. You think He and God would be advocating for the death of one of their own? If you do think that, I guess I'll be seeing you in Hell.

You need to understand that it's not necessary for everyone to believe as you do. There's nothing wrong with sharing your Religion, but you need to STOP forcing your beliefs on others. THAT is morally wrong. THAT is called RELIGIOUS TERRORISM. Don't believe me? Google Religious Terrorism and read the official definition.


And by no means am I done. I'll fight until you get it. So will the rest of us. And ultimately, it won't be us losing; It will be you.
