The Bible Says I'm an Abomination Believe it or not, I didn't know. I had no idea until today how big of a sinner I am in the eyes of Christianity. Honestly, I'm blindsided by this. I'm just being myself; nothing more and nothing less. What I do with a group of sweaty guys on friday nights in front of a few thousand people isn't a sin; it's my favorite thing in the world. I hardly ever get serious about it anymore. Maybe I'll play with some balls in the back yard every now and then, but that's all. I don't get all excited and start yelling like I used to. And why should I? No ones watching anymore. I've done it for as long as I can remember; ever since I was old enough. When I was in elementary school, my friends and I would go out into a field and slam each other around. As I got older, it became evident my teen years would NOT be like most boys' my age. I loved doing it more than anything; and I loved the people I did it with more than anyone in the world. I know the bible says it's wrong, and a lot of people hate it; but I thank god that this way of life found me. Being surrounded by its love has taught me right and wrong, shown me who I am, and convinced me that I belong in this world. Yet there it is, right there in Leviticus. â€One must never touch the skin of swine.†CANâ€T TOUCH PIG SKIN?? NO FOOTBALL?? But why no football? We're not hurting anyone. We mind our own business while only pounding on each other. The reason Texas Stadium has a retractable roof is so that God can watch Dallas play. So someone is lying, and I know it's not me. Maybe we got a little bit lost in translation a few thousand years ago? So, don't assist in being ignorant. Unclench your fists a bit and just listen. Feel free to give me any feedback; any reaction is a reaction I'd love to hear. It's from my blog which is right here- Kingston State of Mind
Hey man, I like it. Very brief and powerful. Sounds like something that should turn into a spoken word performance. I'm gay too (also a writer), so I can definitely identify with this. Keep it up!
its so true. i lived for football, even played some on the college level. i think people take the bible to literally, they need to take what it says, and think of it on other levels you know?
