This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Seeing people as a means to an end rather than an ends unto themselves. A basic lack of human empathy and respect for human dignity. Jesus was a brown socialist who hung out with queers, prostitutes, and social outcasts. That fact should inform any form of Christian ethics.
He kept telling them not to sin
He also made them gay.
Oh, and he made them in his image along with everyone else so god must be Pan.
God also made billionaires desire money. Doesn't mean that them acting on their desires is right.
Greed is taught, not something you are born with.
So a toddler stealing food from his twin is taught behaviour?
A toddler wanting something isn't greed. How the older children and adults around them respond and teach the child determines whether they turn out to be greedy as they develop because they have to be taught that they shouldn't take from others. Same as how physical contact like striking someone is either reinforced or discouraged, doing the wrong thing while finding out what is right and wrong when there is not an inherent biological urge behind the behavior is how humans develop.
Sexuality is one of the few things that we are born with and not the result of what we are taught.
Cheating on your partner is unacceptable but that urge is still biological and stemmed from your sexuality. Doesn't mean adultery is okay in the eyes of God. God didn't make you commit adultery. "My sexuality made me do it" isn't an excuse.
Monogamy as a concept is a social construct, and cheating if you choose monogamy is NOT a biological urge.
