    Dead babies?

    “God works in mysterious ways.”

    “Trust God’s plan.”

    “Everything happens for a reason.”

    “You have to have faith.”

    “We should pray.”

    “He is testing our faith, like the book of Job.”

    These are the bullshit answers they give us because they don’t really have an answer.

    And when something good happens what do they say?

    “God is good!”

    “Praise the Lord!”

    Look, believe in God all you want but when someone pisses on you, don’t call it rain.

    Have a meaningful conversation of how an all powerful, good God can allow so much suffering. Either he isn’t good or he isn’t powerful.

    Yes. There was a study done with people that said they were straight and exposed them to gay porn. The ones that said they were homophobes had the most reaction from their penis.

    That is another part of the issue. They believe if they have the urges and the chose to closeted then it is a choice. They see it as a strength of will but it is really self hatred.

    I wish this was their logic.

    What they fear is that they are wrong about sexual orientation being a choice. So if their child was never exposed to anything gay, they then can act straight and be quietly depressed about why other people aren’t like them.
