I'm really not sure what you expect from me after you quote scripture attacking my relationship as "shameful, unnatural, and debased." Reminds me of my sister-in-law, who sent me an e-mail informing that I am "what the Bible calls a sodomite" (her exact words). She and I are no longer on speaking terms, suffice it to say.

But oh, it's all said out of Christian "love," of course. Well, I'm not in need of that kind of "love," so I'm gonna give it right back to you and send you on your merry way.

iamnotafraid, you know I like you a lot. I can't sit here and read that crap though. I spent my entire secondary education at a Catholic School being taught that my sexuality and some of my feminist beliefs were wrong, sinful etc etc. For a child to be indoctrinated like that, I feel, is more sinful than anything written in the Bible.

The sole reason I won't tell my family (when I should be able to, just as my sister can say "ooh mum meet my new boyfriend, he's lovely!") is because of the things my grandma has been taught, from the Bible. If anyone turned out to be untrustworthy and told her, I'd never see her again. She'd disown me. My own Grandmother. I'm not putting myself through that. But it's not her that I blame because I know she's a loving, caring person who hates the thought of upsetting her grandchildren. I blame religion.

There should be another definition of love. "I love you but only because I want to "make you better"".
