The Philosophy of My Life

"As far as I could remembered, I was raised up as a devoted Christian, back then I believed in god, loved god, and treasure him...now I still do to, but sometimes I think maybe...not everything has to be according to the bible"

-Imagine

Being a Christian does not mean you are homophobic, but I reckon most of us are, we just deny it.

My family and I are very devoted Christians I grew up reading the bible almost everyday, believing every single word I read, I remember I had once questioned my mother once about the existence of God as a child, and received a whole hour of spanking, I never dared to question anything once again, and just believed what I read and heard...maybe that was where it went wrong. 

Nothing in the bible directly says that being homophobic is wrong, but it does suggest a lot indirectly. I remembered on time while I was at the park with my mother, when I was three or four I stumbled upon and saw a couple holding hands, they were the most in-love couple I have ever seen, I was looking at them in awe they were smiling so brightly and it made me happy, unbeknownst to myself I walked right up to the both of them, I can't remember properly but I think I pointed and said something along the lines of 'pretty couple', I was only 3-4 I doubt it even sounded like that anyway. 

Their response was something I would never ever forget in my lifetime, they were shocked and surprised then they looked at each other and turned back to me, the look of awe in their faces were beautiful, I can't exactly describe what I saw, but its there in my memory. I remembered I was playing around with both of them laughing and enjoying while my mother was at some other corner of the park, on the phone talking to who-knows-what about her business and money. 

I kept playing and laughing...I had so much fun, but I never really thought of stranger danger, but if they were really dangerous people, I was definitely going to be dead and my mother probably would still be on her phone 'hilarious'. I was going to give one of them a kiss on the cheek (I was a dumb kid who lacked love) then all of a sudden I was dramtically pulled back, guess who? my love, caring mother whom I see once per month...for once hour.
