i am an androgynous bisexual male who is in a committed and loving relationship with my wife... i? was a member of a non-sectarian christian church in my home town... one day they had a guest pastor give the sermon... it was on things of this world, primarily homosexuality... he was very hateful... at the end of church for the day i approached him and a good number of the elders who were all talking and voiced my opinion... i asked how could a loving God and his people turn their back on any individual? two days later i received a phone call at home, it was the pastor... he said my position and behavior were unacceptable and asked me? to never return to the church again ... that was just about a year ago... since then i've returned to buddhism(about 8 months ago)... it is a religion of no religion... i still love Christ but i have no use for the church or its bible... as alan watts once said, "buddhism is the religion of no religion"...

 I believe that there is something that is greater than all of us, I don't exactly know what it is...

 I think that we all should be kind to one another and to other living things, animals, plants & the earth.

 Peace, Joy & Love to all!
