a read and an apology ..

1 " They were really religious. "

2 " I come from a big Christian family; they would tell me I was going to hell. "

3 " She was very religious. "

the link here is to an article on homelessness among the youth
it's quite a read
it's quite shameful to us inhuman humans

there are 6 testimonials at the end of the article
they are by LGBT people ..
kids

the comments above numbered 1 2 3 were taken from 3 of the 6

i want to say this ..
we are SICK
we the church are sick sick
we deserve many many lashes
we deserve so much more recompense than the rest of the world
because we are Jesus' Body 
we are to love our fellow humans
love and not hate
God is absolute love ..

i stand in the front of the line, by the way
i make myself sick at who i was
i am ashamed before God for my attitude

i feel ill

i hope you do too

i know not many people read this blog
doesn't matter really ..
for what it's worth i just want to apologize
   to every person
      each one
   who has been abused and made homeless by their parents/guardians
   for whatever reason
and especially when those people could be referred to as ' religious ' ..

God never intended that ..
he hates that
he loves you
far far more than anyone else could
please forgive me
please forgive us, the church, for our part in abusing you
please
in Jesus' name

there are some of us out there looking to change that
although we cannot undo it ..
