Living Proof

Don't you just adore "Christian love"? I think what I love most about Christianity is the patience, kindness, unconditional love, tolerance and the fact it keeps no records of wrongs. I love how it is not easily angered or promotes any feelings envy. As you can see, it doesn't delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It protects, trusts, always hopes and perseveres. (Now where have you heard that before?) Even in my last article, I had a ton of people bashing me for my lifestyle saying things like, "You're disgusting" and "You're going to hell" as well as saying that I was a "sick pervert".  Most typed with big caps, letting me know how passionate they were about their hatred towards me. They call themselves "Christians" but act like their 8 year old bullies out on the schoolyard. When straight Christians invest so much time and energy focusing in on the gay and lesbian lifestyle, the issues run much deeper than j...

Trust me, never be mean to a waitress. Your food will taste umm, different. A few months ago, I took my friend out to my favorite lunch spot. We sat down, ordered a couple of glasses of wine and some lunch. When the waitress came over, my friend's entire demeanor changed as though someone upset her. "This wine is just terrible! It tastes like vinegar and you probably had it out all night. Bring me something that wasn't opened. You may be able to fool some customers, but not me, lady...not me." The waitress headed off to the bar and quickly returned with a fresh glass of wine, to which again, tasted like "vinegar", but she'll "suck it up anyway" as she stated. Nothing annoys me more than being rude to somebody who had nothing to do with what you are upset over. Yes, she is the "face" of the restaurant -- your representative for the bar and kitchen, but being rude to someone who is serving you is just wrong and so out of line. W...

When you have a strong prejudiced opinion on something, shouldn't there be some kind of rule to know everything about it before making a "righteous judgment"? Here's my strong opinion on something that I have learned the hard way over the years about some Christians who are against same-sex marriage: they don't attack any other type of "sin". I remember when the Josh Duggar fiasco made its way into the headlines and was shocked to see how many Christian supporters there were, mainly due to his huge stance against gays and lesbians. What about the county clerk who refuses same-sex marriage licenses? Do you know there are many people telling her to "be strong" while she stands up for her beliefs that marriage should be between a man and a woman? And with that strong opinion of hers, she doesn't look at herself and say, "Hmm, well I have four divorces under my belt." She refuses to look at her own shortcomings as an "adultere...

There are so many topics that are within the 'one' topic of transgenderism. There are even "dos" and "don'ts" out there on the internet in case you happen to be in the company of someone who happens to be transgender -- like don't misuse pronouns (him, her, she, his, etc.) -- and never (ever-ever-ever-ever) call a transgender person a "tranny". This word was adopted by the porn industry and connotes a sexual seediness to it. And like the label "transgender" comes the label, "cisgender" which many people have no clue what it means. It basically means born by birth gender. So I'm a cisgendered woman for example. The other important factor to remember as I've learned over the years is to never question their genitalia, because it doesn't matter. If they are a transgendered woman or man, genitalia does not define them. Their identity alone defines them. But still, people usually go by the details of their sexua...

Let's get one thing straight right off the bat: I do not rejoice in other people's shortcomings or problems. What I do take a tiny bit of pleasure in, is seeing hypocrites being brought out to the light. As God says in the bible, everything secretive will be brought out into the light. Conservative blogger, Matt Walsh who takes pleasure in bashing gays, lesbians and transgenders, calling them "sick perverts" who have "mental illness" has finally admitted that he was wrong about Josh Duggar. He laughs, mocks and bullies those who are of the LGBT community and uses God as a shield so that he won't come across as the ol' fashioned bigot that he is. He proudly shows off his tattoos, smoking a cigar and drinking beer like a good ol' boy. It never ceases to amaze me that someone with tattoos can mock someone who is "sinfully" gay. "You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the...

When someone apologizes once they've done something wrong, is it more sincere if they say it after they've been caught or if they sat you down and told you what happened before you found out? Or does it even matter? Apparently, Josh Duggar apologized over on their website and admitted he was being a hypocrite after he was caught on Ashley Madison. I love the edited version of Gawker's apology from Josh. Priceless. Forgiveness is a wonderful thing and maybe his wife will after some time, but I keep thinking about the differences between an "oops" and an intentional hunt for an extramarital affair. When you're 'out there' on websites looking for an intentional sexual encounter, that's much different than say if he met some girl at work and they had some sort of romantic encounter and then regretted it. None are OKAY, but one is a bit more forgivable. Hey, we're all human, right? Would this be considered more of a sexual addiction rather t...

There have been countless stories lately about young children are being raped. One girl who happened to be 11 years old got pregnant by her rapist, and in her country, she had to wait out the full 9 months to give birth. I think once a grown man has either raped a child or an adult woman, he should castrated. Plain and simple. It should be known that once you rape someone, you will lose your nether regions, preferably very slowly with an extremely blunt knife. But what about those who are just sexually fasciated by children? That's rape in itself! How can anyone -- anyone -- watch anything remotely sexual if it has to do with a minor? How can a grown adult want anything sexual with a child? I just don't understand it. See -- I can understand some guy in his early 20's dating a girl who is in her late teens. "Statutory rape" is mostly enforced by disapproving parents. When I was 16 years old, my first boyfriend was 25. I did not look 16 nor did I act it. My...
