It's been a while since I last dropped by.. Sorry.. I've been gone for a while and didn't happen to see your post. Thank you for your reply.. I'm sure I'd have smiled back then as I just did now with those smileys so.. both Heksu and you, don't worry. Sigh.. Those things just seem to happen all the time, don't they..? Resting not forcing your arm was the best thing you could do indeed.. Don't know if you've already recovered, but hope you did get better. Also.. were you sad because you blamed yourself a bit for harming yourself or because you had to go through some treatment and recovering period all along..? 1. Memories.. some of them are sweet, some of them are not. Truth is.. deep inside, noone wants to suffer. But it's not something which can be helped. Remembering bad experiences is a natural thing to do and yeah.. it hurts. If those kind of memories pop up in our minds constantly, it might just mean we haven't overcome those experiences. Time and strengh is needed to heal and to try to make them slightly disappear. And as life goes by, we slowly realise which things help us overcome those wounds: people we love, little random things which we enjoy doing or which make us smile.. Yet, always remember.. memories are not meant to be forgotten. It's okay to remember. There's no need to blame yourself trying to forget.. Because after all, all those experiences, all we've been through.. are what make us be what we are today. 2. About that.. I guess it can't be helped sometimes. It can get to be really hard.. yet true friendships endure with those sort of.. handicaps. Try your best to keep in touch with them and.. some day, maybe, you'll really be able to meet them. "I need to be here. (...) I don't know why". "I'm constantly feeling depressed and there's no one to listen ". You.. just need someone to listen to you. Like most of people using this thread here and like just everyone.. Everyone needs to be listened. And that's the reason you're here right now. You feel lonely, uncomprehended because of not being able to ''open'' yourself, to be yourself, to express your feelings and to talk about what worries you or about what you fear.. As a teen it sometimes gets even more complicated. Being unexperienced, wondering and being "confused about pretty much everything".. it's just part of our lives. Believe it or not, everyone's gone through that. I have and still do. Everyone has, really. If I were to recommend you something, I'd say that first of all, you gotta accept yourself. Try your very best to find out who you are and to understand yourself. Your strong points, your weak points, your fears. Never stop thinking about it and trying to figure out more about yourself. Also..don't prejudice yourself. Because saying you're an extremely cold antisocial person isn't the same as being "semi-social" (that word meaning you might somehow accept certain people to surround you and interact with you). Also.. if you were that much of a cold person would you even try to seek help in the first place? I will assume you've tried to do so "directly", establishing face-to-face contact.. and on top of that you're exposing your problem here.. If you were that much of a cold person, you wouldn't do this. Not at all.. That's why.. I'm telling you not to give up. You might have not been "lucky". You might have not come across somebody who would lend you a hand wholeheartedly. Sometimes, we can't help feeling misunderstood and alone. But it should be ok some day. That is as long as we always try our best to get to know ourselves, to improve as persons and to try to understand, help and seek help from others whenever we truly need it. It's ok to be broken. It's ok to be confused. Just.. believe in yourself. There's people out there who'll be by your side.

so, it seems it's ok if i post my drawing that not related with DC. OC

hehe...this is my drawing.. how do you think of my drawing, my friend ask to me to made her Conan's draw, so I Make. before I give it to her I copy it so I also have a copy. so the original image at my friend and this the copy.

We all know that Vermouth and Sherry have some sort of antipathy between them. Vermouth hating Sherry, Sherry fearing Vermouth. Why? As Vermouth said in Chapter 818, "She's the only one that can't be allowed to exist in this world." For saying that, it means she has some sort of hatred towards Shiho. My Theory So, what do you think? What are your theories?

so to hard believe but damn its true xxxx

Yo!

Yeah, Same! GoSick is so EPIC

Because of the promises she made, I think Vermouth isn't going looking for Sherry exactly (because otherwise she could have taken her the many times Agasa and Haibara were alone), but if an opportunity presents itself and Vermouth has an excuse (Bourbon found her, so she can help him -- and modify his plan a little), she'll take it.My idea for the reason behind the antipathy between Vermouth and the Miyanos is... (not a spoiler, but spoiler-ed for length and copyapsta)

Super Chek mod power abuse: Yes, it was Bourbon at the bank.

Everything has been getting better lately -- for me, at least. The person of my affection and I had this "Honesty Hour" type of thing where we could say whatever was on our minds... It was great. Anyways, I ended up telling her about my feelings and in a way, reciprocates them. ^^ We're trying to figure things out at the moment, but... I'm happy to know. As I walk around in public, rarely, but occasionally, I do see homosexual couples holding hands and it makes me happy to know that people can do that now. They can hold hands with who they like in public and it's nice to see.

Well, I'm also considering the fact that maybe Shiho's parents were the reason why Vermouth doesn't age anymore. Maybe they were the people who, maybe experimented on Vermouth, making her somewhat "immortal." Maybe that's the reason why, too, and maybe, JUST MAYBE, Vermouth was the one behind the killing of Sherry's parents, causing Sherry to fear Vermouth. And Vermouth has some sort of hatred for the Miyano family for doing so...

Some thoughts on the file with the disclaimer they may not be accurate because I could have misunderstood something from the spoiler preview I think it is interesting how Gin didn't care if Vermouth and Bourbon got blown up with the train when it arrived at the station and set off their bombs. How would he have explained that to the boss? Killing codenamed agents unnecessarily should have earned him some demerit based on what Pisco said in the Haido City Hotel. Akai was wearing Sera’s hat when he dropped that grenade. She left it in her room earlier after boarding the train. She didn’t wear it during the investigation or the meeting with Scar Akai. Okiya took her back to her room as Yukiko said and then grabbed the hat when he went to confront Amuro. He then dropped it in the hall after he left where it was found by Ran. I guess this means that he is wearing a wig since the hair change occurred so quickly. You know how it is implied that Amuro has been in or connected to the Organization since he was young for him to have met Elena? What if he was childhood friends with Akemi? The other possibility is that Elena is still alive and Amuro knows about it (but that doesn’t seem to be what he implied.) Knowing Elena means Amuro has been in the Black Org since he was young. If we guess Elena died say, 15 years ago (Shiho = 3), that means Amuro was 14 when he knew her. Children growing up in the BO is a recurring pattern with Shiho and now Amuro. I bet Amuro had a directive that he be prepped to be a detective and enrolled in police academy, sort of like how Shiho was groomed as a scientist to take over her parents’ research. It would be interesting to find out if Amuro is related to any of the BO members we know. None come to mind though. I wonder how many BO agents start in house as kids? I wouldn't be surprised if Gin was raised in the Organization. Amuro doesn't seem like the most evil of the BO lot based on his behavior so far, but he is definitely loyal because he dutifully informed his higher ups about finding Sherry when he could have pretended not to see the video. I guess he is the gentleman bad guy; that is still a bad guy but you don't want to hate him too much. Amuro does seem to have some sense of justice, just not too good a sense of justice. That could be Date's influence now that I think about it. I don't think Kaito Kid is going to let his current understanding of things lie. He is too curious and will probably want to understand how Conan got caught up with people with codenames who bomb trains and impersonate dead FBI agents with disguises. Maybe something will come up next heist. Also the Suzuki family is out of the running for BO boss since Gin thought it would be useful if Jirokichi died. (Not that I ever thought they were BO related)

I really respect openly homosexual guys and girls. I am heterosexual, but I doubt that if I weren't I'd have the courage to admit it in a society where people look down on others because of a choice that has nothing to do with them. I support people of every sexuality because I know that it doesn't matter what gender, race, religion, or sexuality you are, as long as you are willing to love the person you are with and don't discriminate against others because of their choices, whether they hate you without just cause or support choices you are against. Last year, before he moved, my then-boyfriend was often teased by another boy and called 'homo' or 'gay' even when we were together. I used to just tell the guy responsible to shut up and leave him alone, but one day Curtis told him, "You know what? I'm bisexual." After that he was left alone, and I knew that to him it wasn't an insult to be seen as homosexual. It was a brave thing for him to say, as he admitted later. He thought that maybe I would dump him after learning this, likely because of his strict religious upbringing and his parents' beliefs. I just gave him a smile and said something that made him drop the idea: "Are you kidding me? Now I know I beat out every girl, and guy in the school to have you as my boyfriend." He's still one of my best friends, despite us only being able to see one another every few months, and we decided that if neither of us has met someone else by then, we'll start dating again once high school ends. No matter the decisions someone else makes, as long as it doesn't hurt you or another person, it isn't our job to tell them that it's wrong, or 'disgusting.' I say that if you are happy with the person you're with, no one else should be allowed to ruin it for you with their views and stereotyping~

You didn't read what I wrote... did you? Please go back and do so. First: I never said that. Proof that you didn't read. I said that you said that believing in evolution would lead to hell. And that is ridiculous. If that is true then Pope John Paul II will be going to hell. Fantastic, since he is the ONE pope that I actually respected based on what he did and his merits. Now as for homosexuality being a sin. I again, direct you back to the book of the Bible that tells us this, Leviticus. And again, if you want to follow the rule that homosexuality is a sin, then PLEASE follow the rest of that book. Now you are thinking... well what about Corinthians. Well if that is to be believed, than anyone who has sex before marriage is going to hell, as well as anyone who uses "abusive" language, nor those who are in anyway greedy or covet something which someone else owns. Man that is a lot of people. And Romans only suggests that it is the ACT that is sinful, not the people or simply being. Which falls in line to what you said. However, I don't think the Bible suggests that evolution is evil, or hell inducing. It does say that Homosexuality is in Corinthians, and that people whom are Homosexual should be put to death in Leviticus. But let's face it, you are basing your beliefs off of a 2000 some year old book. Times change, and the word doesn't. Now, since you are so reticent about this, I shall ask you a few questions that were left unanswered by my Priests and even Bishop, which as you'll read in a bit helped me on my path to atheism. Why was no book of the Bible ever written by a woman? Surely, God, in all of His immense wisdom would have seen it fit to speak to a worthy woman to pass on his Word. Surely you don't think every single woman was unfit. Or how about Asians, Africans, Americans and Australians? Why don't they have any input in the Bible? Were they too lowly of a people to be graced by the wisdom of God? Surely if there is only one God, he would have spoken more to people other than Europeans and Middle Eastern peoples. Surely he would have helped others in the world that would have naturally been added to the Holy Book. I find it odd that every single book and everything from a ONE TRUE GOD just HAPPENED to occur in one, very small, part of the world. That does not make sense to me. Side note to that one, there is nothing in the history of Egypt that suggests the Jews were ever enslaved. There is no archaeological proof of any of that either, nor the mass exodus either. There is proof to suggest that they did seek refuge after that after the destruction of the Kingdom of Judah. I don't worship anything or anyone. I believe in what is presented to me and the evidence which I am able to observe and even reproduce. As for proving God... Allow me to introduce you to Occam's Razor. The existence of God does absolutely nothing to explain the universe, and far more assumptions must be made. In doing so, the feat of proving the entity falls to the person making the assertion (you proving God). So saying that the rule of cause and effect and the Big Bang Theory don't disprove God, doesn't mean a darn thing to me. God is non-falsifiable, which means it is untestable by science. So if you have other proofs other than the fact that God is non-falsifiable, I'd love to hear it. As for reading the Bible? I did mention that I know more about religion than I care to, right? (Again, I'm under the assumption that you never read anything that I wrote). I proved that not only that I did read the Bible, but understand it better than most religious people. Allow me to tell you something about myself. I went to Catholic school for FIFTEEN years of my life. 15... In that time I read and analyzed the Bible multiple times, was part of the church band as the percussionist. And was generally active within the Church. Heck, I was even selected and brought to a retreat that was meant to entice me to enter into either priesthood or Franciscan brotherhood (that is how good I was at analyzing the Bible btw, and by that time I told Brother Andrew, the one whom pledged me to go that I was no longer sure of my Christian faith, and he told me that this retreat may change that. Big surprise it didn't). I began questioning things about the Church and the Bible that no priest was able to answer. It became a question of whether I was willing to accept faith as a viable answer to these idiosyncratic parts of religion, specifically Christianity and the Judeochristian ways. It came to a point where I was unable to do so. And so I became an atheist. Edit: tl;dr version 1) You never read what I wrote, I never suggested anything you said. You said, in short, that Pope John Paul II is going to hell, not cool. 2) Homosexuality as a sin comes from 3 books, 2 of which say homosexuality is actually a sin, as well as other things that people do and are deemed acceptable in this day and age. The other just suggests that the act is a sin, not the being. (Kinda inconsistent if you ask me...) 3) Religion and the Bible are like swiss cheese to me, full of holes that were never answered. 4) Occam's Razor 5) I studied the Bible and was active in the Church for the entirety of my youth. Still became atheist.

Oh wait! I forgot one thing! Logic does NOT tell us that you need a man AND a woman. Logic tells us that men only possess the means to deliver genetic material to women. However they possess nothing else of use, as women possess everything else for reproduction. Women are, in fact, all that is needed along with a viable delivery system. There is work being done to take the genetic material from the egg of one woman and fuse it to the egg of another female making a zygote that will result in a fetus born of two women. No man involved. This is current research and it will revolutionize the gay rights movement, as women will be able to give birth to offspring that is theirs and their girlfriend's only, not adoption or the product of random sperm from a sperm bank. Now I've actually reread Hajime Kindaichi's post, and have to ask him... Did you actually read it? Logic is supposed to be, well, logical. Note: the following will be directed at Hajime Kindaichi. Please feel free anyone to either refute or argue any points that you feel I got wrong, or was in anyway rude. (I tried to be respectful, I really did) Let me break apart your post into its basic parts. I think I missed the part where you disproved evolution theory. Really, there was nothing of the sort. You dropped the ball on that one. Logic has to have a start a middle and an end... Start: What you intend to prove. Middle: Evidence End: a link between evidence and theory that ties everything up. You said Homosexuality is a sin and not genetic, and genetics is fake. Well there is your thesis. Then you said they can't procreate. You ASSUME that all gay people live as gay, throughout all of history. That is a very brash generalization. Even today there are gay men that marry and have children because of the pressures of society. If that is the case today, why would it be any different over history? Makes no sense. That line of evidence is fallacious from the start. Evolution is a one way ticket to hell... I'm not even... Fine, if I am going to hell for believing in evidence and the progress of science. But you know who else is going to hell? Pope John Paul II. Yeah, he believed in evolution. Pope Benedict redacted that after he took over and believes in intelligent design. So what you are saying, is that one of the most influential and well respected popes EVER is now going to hell despite all the good that he did. If that is the case, then even if I was religious, I would cease at this very moment because that is ridiculous. To be sentenced to eternal damnation because one cannot ignore the extensive amount of proof presented by the scientific community? I cannot do that. Sorry. But lets continue.... Must be dominant: See Aeyra's and my previous posts. Ridiculous and you obviously did not pay attention in any biology classes. Fallacious statement completely. Gays have been killed. Yup, outed gays were. And again, you assume that all gays all the time were eradicated, which is funny since I'm fairly certain that if you were gay and you know it would mean death, you would do EVERYTHING to preserve your own life including living and procreating as a straight person. So that just doesn't work on so many levels. Considering that you never proved anything (you never provided any substantial evidence), your arguments are shallow and based on a 1500 year old book. With the brunt of it being based off of a book that is so archaic that everyone except Hasidic Jews, don't follow those rules. And, quite frankly, I don't think they fully follow them either. I think I'm done. I'm for homosexuals, bisexuals, asexuals, heterosexuals and any other sexuals that you can think of and their respective rights, and against bigotry. I look forward to my friend's marriage to her girlfriend. Will be a beautiful ceremony I'm sure. Kyuu out. I'm sure I'll be back eventually.

Dear Anonymous, I have to ask... what is good? What defines a good person? Is it someone who follows all the rules and all the laws? Is it someone who does things for others? Is it someone who never lies, cheats, or steals? What is good? How does one who loves evil define good? Does pretending to be perfect mean good? I am very lost as to your idea. Does that mean someone who messes up isn't good? Or does it simply mean someone who is not evil is good? I know you have a heart for people. I am the same. But I must say, we are still young. You are younger than I, so I will take this as a time to impart what little wisdom I have acquired from the past few years of experience. I don't believe that paying your taxes, taking care of everything, and overall being nice to people means that you are good. I don't believe that doing everything right means you are good. If that was true, then I'd always be a good person. But the truth is, sometimes I don't fit the bill. I don't reach the mark. I get angry and upset, I hurt people out of my own pain. I have lied, stolen, cheated, and done other things I'd rather not mention. If I was convinced these things were acceptable, then I'd be convinced I was a good person. People do stupid stuff. Sometimes, they believe its right. Almost every television show nowadays says it is fine to have "oneness" relations with people you don't marry. So someone who sleeps around is a good person then, right? They believe it is right - they think it is fine and everyone approves readily. It's not against the law. Does it make it right? No. Does believing that a lie is true make it true? No. So will you readily defend those lies that you believe? Do you realize that in actuality, you're causing more problems for that person? Raise a child and tell them that it is alright to steal. You feel like stealing, right, child? It's okay, then. Go steal all you want. People will tell you it is wrong but since you feel this way it can only be natural, so do it. You don't want to hurt the child's feelings, right? It's a big part of who they are. They want to steal. So you say its okay. You say you will support them and keep them from harm when they do it. One day, this child will be put in jail for stealing. You will be the one partially responsible. You can tell them that people will tell them that they will go to jail for their wrongdoing - but you are convinced that everything else this child does is sweet and innocent and good - no way would they put them in jail. Fool. I tell the truth because I know something very important about it. Lie to the child and cause them to fall and you will have their blood on your hands. I refuse to just give into this beautifully constructed lie. It seems like its not fair, right? How cruel to say to a child that they will go to jail or worse for their actions! The moment you enable it, the moment you support the wrongdoing and refuse to hurt their feelings by telling the truth, you are responsible. You want me to say pretty words like "oh that happened to everyone else who did wrong, but this certain wrongdoing will be hidden away by all the good stuff you do everywhere else" and "you're a good person so you will not receive punishment" and "only a cruel and heartless person would stop you". Are you stupid? I will tell the truth to you whether it hurts your precious feelings or it messes with your beliefs simply because I refuse to have your blood on my hands because I was too scared to hurt your feelings. You think that the "good" actions you do will cover up all the bad. You think that if in life you only do one thing wrong and everything about you otherwise is good that it will be enough. But really, is that all that there is to it? Do you think that an all-good person could have just one problem with them? Why does someone lie? Because they are selfish. Why does someone steal? Because they are selfish. Think about it. Many problems lie within another. Humans are self-seeking. Even the person who gives everything for others. If they do not give to God, then there is something inside that is self-seeking and self-serving. I'm not perfect. I've made tons of mistakes. I still make them. I'm still struggling with trying not to seem like Miss Perfect while wailing about how I can't do things right. But the difference is, I have the blood of Jesus and his forgiveness over me. I don't know if that makes me a "good" person or not, really. But all I have to say is this: If you cannot meet these things, then I cannot think of you as a "good" person - just maybe as a nice person, someone who needs love and care and respect, but not someone I will try to be like. He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? Micah 6:8 Do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. Sincerely, Me.

Well Aeyra said a lot of what I was going to say. You should stay in school my friend, and perhaps not go into science. Aeyra went into dominance/recessive genes, and how that can play a role. However... You seem to talk as if genetics is the ONLY factor in determining phenotype. Well now, allow me to introduce to you a theory, the prenatal androgen theory. This theory suggests that a certain concentration of hormones may affect developing fetus. And they actually have measurable proof of this being the case. That proof is actually the fourth proximal digit on the human hand. (The ring finger was found to have a different length ratio in lesbians than straight women (2D;4D)) This is considered only a co-factor however, as there are other possible genetic and environmental factors that can play a role as well. And wait... Evolution is fake?! Oh geez... you are one of them. You know what? I'm not going to argue this with you, instead, here is a Christian site that will argue it for me. Mind you I don't believe the doctrine of that site, but I approve of its message. It is trying very hard to show that evolution is the truth, and there is no proof for creationism, but abundant proof of evolution. And I could link you to plenty, but I CHOSE ONE SINGULAR RELIGIOUS SITE INSTEAD. Please, I implore you don't walk this path with me. I know more about religion than I care to, and I know far more about science than you can hope to. Don't make me break out the journal articles. Edit: But you know what? I'm in a sporting mood... Here is a challenge... Find me verifiable proof that creationism is true that has nothing to do with Religious doctrine (so no Bible or anything like that, that is more metaphorical than anything, even most people whom study "the word" agree with that) What I mean by verifiable proof I mean scientific studies that completely destroyed evolutionary theory and cannot be the result of anything else other than the influence of God. Do that and I'll happily subscribe. For now, Creationism lies and has no proof, and Evolution is constantly changing to suit new evidence that only STRENGTHENS it. Oh and btw, there are plenty of scientists trying to disprove evolution, and they only end up proving it further. I've seen more proof of evolution in person in experiments I've done, than you have probably seen of creationism in your entire life. Edit 2: Also, Homosexuality being a Sin comes from the book Leviticus. So by all means, follow it, but please follow the rest of the laws too. I just love that book. So many rules that no one in their right mind would follow. I do so hope the shirt your wearing is comprised of only one fabric. That's a sin you know. (that is my personal favorite) Edit 3:

Religion is the biggest lie ever told to mankind in my opinion. If I laughed my head off while reading this, am I going to hell? XD (honestly don't care... all my favorite book characters end up there any way. At least I'll be able to see them. :3 Also, this 'all-forgiving' god seems a bit eager to cast everybody who dares to defy even a single word he says into the pits of hell... Just saying.) It's easy to say that homosexuality actually could be a gene- it's easy! It's called a recessive allele! To make it even harder, let's turn it into a polygenic trait with tons of recessive alleles that would make it really hard to produce the right effect. That way, it makes homosexuality very rare. Also, even if the homosexuals themselves don't reproduce, anyone carrying the recessive trait is a 'carrier' of that gene, and if their partner is also a carrier, then their offspring could potentially be homosexual. And it's not like you need to have a disease to pass it onto your children. Take hemophilia- it's a blood-clotting disease that is famously known for being common in the royal family. Not everyone had it. A lot of the children with the disease didn't survive to reproduce. BUT IT'S STILL THERE. Why? Because it was not a dominant gene. (okay, it was a recessive sex-linked trait, but you get the point.)Same could apply to homosexuality. *just realized* Did you just say the gene has to be dominant to show up in a phenotype? I'm taking biology- that's DEFINITELY not the case. Dominant genes always show, but only if they are present! Otherwise, the recessive gene becomes the phenotype. Well-known fact of science. And don't even get me started on evolution. I could give you a long rant of scientifically proven reasons (and common sense) to prove evolution is a fact (heck, I could simulate an experiment with bacteria to prove it to you in less than a week with the right equipment). Your argument doesn't even make sense, to be honest. :/ It completely defies the laws of genetics and does nothing to show that evolution is fake. I mean, evolution is everywhere! There's evidence in our vestigial structures (wisdom teeth, appendix, tail bone, little toes, etc.), our homologous structures (same forearm structure as dogs, bats, frogs, cats, birds, etc.), the fossil record (collected skulls of all versions of human/human-like organisms throughout history of thousands and millions of years), and comparative embryology, which proves our embryological development is very like that of other organisms. The story of Adam and Eve? Well, I break rules all the time and I haven't been cast from my Eden yet. :x ... That went way off-topic (never get me started on evolution or I will never shut up on you until you give in). Let me link this back to homosexuality not being some sort of evil thing that we as a human race should never accept. First of all, not everybody is a believer. To take away their rights because they don't believe in the Bible is like to take away someone's rights because they don't believe in sparkly pink unicorns. Because if they don't believe in the Bible, it might as well be nonexistent sparkly pink unicorns to them. And I for one would hate to have my rights taken away by sparkly pink unicorns. Second of all, homosexuality could easily be a passed on trait. Let me draw a quick diagram demonstrating a all-recessive polygenic (2 genes- too lazy for more) trait: In case you can't read that (because I have the crappiest handwriting in existence): Let's say in order to be gay, your genotype must be 'aabb.' Anything else makes you straight. How do we get gay offspring from straight parents? Here's just one of multiple examples (AKA the simplest one I could think of): The parents' genotypes are both 'AaBb', meaning they are both carriers for homosexuality. The rest is self-explanatory if you understand Punnett Squares. THIS is true logic. Conan uses Punnett Squares in one of the mysteries to show how a person with an AB blood type cannot produce a O blood type offspring! See? This is just a theory for how homosexuality is passed on (though I'm sure it's more than a two-gene trait). To tell why not one out of every 16 is gay, the recessive alleles could just be very rare. That's why not one in every four males is a hemophiliac. That's why not everyone is gay. No offense, but please don't try to tell homosexuals that their orientation is a sin and to go get their head fixed (because that's how I would see going to the pastor.). That's obviously not the problem here. Talking to a pastor isn't going to help- and you're asking people to give up part of their identity, part of who they are. Reverse the situation. Imagine being straight is a sin. You're not going to just go to a pastor and ask him to help you be homosexual because someone told you it's a sin, are you? SAME DIFFERENCE. Religion is no reason to BEAT DOWN love. It's no reason to tell people they are disgusting, should be killed, should be punished, should rot in hell. It's no reason to say they can't love each other. (dammit.... I'm crying now.) Read this, and tell me your reaction. If you don't feel even the slightest bit sad at the end of reading this- well, I'm sorry, but get a heart. Just because her love happened to be female doesn't mean she takes the loss any less hard, that her kids feel any less sad, that this love is any less important, any less valuable than a straight relationship. Gay marriage is just as beautiful, binding, and filled with love as a straight one. Even without marriage, this above family was torn apart by death, was ripped brutally into pieces because the law said 'You couldn't marry her' and then said 'You can only save her life if you're married to her.' (here come the waterworks... I've been crying for a while now.) If I can open just one more person's eyes to the unfairness of prejudice against gays and gay couples, the unfairness of the illegality of gay marriage, then that is enough. If I can show the world that nothing is wrong with this, that everybody is worthy of finding love and keeping it forever, then I could ask for nothing more. When will the world finally be able to look and see?
