Insomnia

insomnia

It’s almost four in the morning here. I haven’t been to sleep yet. I’ve been tapdancing around it. My mind is so full at the moment. How is it that one simple conversation with my mother can make me doubt so much? Her words haunt me now as I avoid sleep:

Be thankful, Nickie, that you’re aren’t a lesbian. No one could ever love a lesbian, not even God.

This….

I feel neither defeated nor enraged. I’m just…numb.
by Nickie

As a traditional-ish Christian, possibly accusable of “fundamentalism” (whatever that means)…
Your mother’s words are absolutely not true. Even assuming homosexuality is a sin, that is NO barrier to God’s love. God definitely doesn’t have a no-sin litmus test he applies to people.
I wish you the best and hope that the pain from your mother’s words will dull soon. Also, good luck sleeping. My mom has had problems with that for the months after a surgery. I have some tips if you ever want them. Again, best wishes.

oops, and also:
Plenty of people lives lesbians, but I’m sure you already know this. Unfortunately, I don’t know any lesians in “real” life, but I’m sure I could love one!

Hmmm……isn’t one of the very principles of Christianity the forgiveness of God? His ability to love saint and sinner? Therefore, I find it hard to believe God can love the murderer, but not the lesbian.
Hugs.

Sadness. :( To think that for somebody, there exists a God who “could not” do something.

Lesbian Quotes

    Jesse Helms and Newt Gingrich were shaking hands congratulating themselves on the introduction of an antigay bill in Congress. If it passes, they won’t be able to shake hands, because it will then be illegal for a prick to touch an asshole. — Judy Carter
