That's sad. I'm extremely grateful I'm a Lutheran (type of Christian) since we only read the Bible and interpret it for what it says, rather than reading too much into it and making our own conclusions. People shouldn't be representing the religion and telling people that they will go to hell if they're gay. As I've said before, in God's eyes, all sin is equal. People just judge what they don't understand and they don't have the right to twist God's word to help them judge others. If people who were gay went to hell just because they were gay, then everyone who ever once lied, thought bad about a person, or anything would go to hell (everyone). That's far from the case. The whole reason Jesus died on the cross is to forgive our sins. It doesn't matter what sin it is, it's forgiven, you just have to ask for it. You can't believe what some people say about their religion because many people twist it for themselves, even though it's supposed to be about everyone else, not just themselves.

IF heaven/hell were real, my young mind would probably believe what I've always been told, because it's been ingrained in the back of my mind, that if heaven is real a certain group of people is going to hell. But I don't believe in it because to me it's a ****ty idea in general to have someone sent to heaven/hell based of their religion, actions in life, or anything like that. So it's easier for me to just not believe in anything like that all together.
And personally, I don't try to sway people to my side. I want people to be happy in whatever religion they want to be in, without me shoving my religion down their throats.
