Coma White

I'm sick of debating anything in Otaku Lounge (just go look at the recent gay thread). Just a little thing to note.

I don't quite see how, being a human being, you can sit there and think gay is the most wrong thing in the world. But ah well. That's for others to believe.

God shouldn't even factor into it. If you believe in God, then you believe God makes people--and it's by his way that he makes people be what they are (including gay). So that argument is mostly fundamentally flawed.

And anyway, religion has not a thing to do with it. It's funny how we turn to religion no matter what else.

All religion is is trying to explain things we don't understand. Things one day we'll probably understand (and when I'll be long dead and gone, thank heavens for that). We're nothing better than the Romans or the Greeks with their Mythologies and their gods they worishipped.

Just look at the stories in the bible. Don't they remind you of mythology to an extent? Sure as hell remind me.

Then what's the big deal about being gay? I cease to see it. Most people seem to be sexist. Others seem to lean towards their religion to say it's wrong. Still others say it's wrong for other reasons.

But whatever. I'm sick of debates. They remind me of politics. And I hate politics. Just look at the John Kerry and Bush thing. Who the fuck cares if Bush was AWOL or whatever the hell that was about (I didn't even pay attention because I don't care, and I'm not voting and I'm just an ignorant, uncaring person when it comes to presidency and so on. At least to an extent.)

What this is about is equal rights. Equality. People don't understand that everyone deserves the same as others--to an extent, at least (because in an ideal world it's given there's going to be people higher than others).

But whatever. I'm sick of debating.

Here's what'll happen: eventually the gays will finally be given what they deserve, just as the blacks did, just as every single other minority has in the past. It might take some time (I see that Bush is prejudiced and is going to impact this and make it probably longer), and some work, but eventually people will get what they deserve, and people in future generations will look back at what we said of the gays and think, "What the hell?" just like we look back at how we treat the blacks and go, "What the hell?"

I think it's sad that it's like this. But I can't do anything. Eventually people will see how stupid this entire thing was, just as we look back and see how stupid slavery was and how damaging it was.

Who cares. There's nothing I can do. I can't make a difference.

This is why I hate debates. I can't make a difference. And there's always someone out there that will put up a more intelligent debate than I could, even though from my vantage point there's nothing wrong with being gay.

I mean, since when has sexuality determined what a person is? It's only in an intimate way that they're different.

Whatever. The world is a fucked up place.
