 Conversation with Deborah (SillyLeslie) part 2
Wednesday, November 26, 2008 (1:39 PM)
-----Original Message----- From: SuburbanRider Date:11/23/2008 7:29:41 AM To:SuburbanRider Subject:RE: Deborah The second part of my journey into a different way of thinking started at the age of 29. That is when I asked God "if you are out there and you are real then show me" he did and at some time in the future I could continue with that branch off of the story. When I became a Christian I was around many conservative Christians still believing that God was going to send all homosexuals to hell. I even wondered that myself although at the time as a skeptic I would never take what a person said as speaking for God unless I was convinced by scripture. I studied and even became a teacher of doctrine to children preparing to enter the fullness of their faith in God. I saw in the scriptures that God judges each person in the light of what they know and believe. It also says God is a better parent to us than our own parents. What parent would condemn a child for doing something in a wrong manner if you can see the child does not fully understand. A good parent would never do that. We are also not under the law of the Hebrew scriptures. We are led by the power of God's spirit to teach us. That says to me that if a person is gay and does not believe it is wrong they are not held accountable for that as sin. I also as a teacher of Christian doctrine have to leave open the possibility always that I may get a particular point of scripture wrong myself. I am not any more qualified to set myself up to be the voice of God than any other Christian. I still have two issues I have yet to resolve in my mind. There are gay people who struggle because they themselves in being Christians struggle between wanting to have a life long loving relationship and wanting to follow what they themselves see as proper behavior. I also have not yet resolved in my mind that it is objectively a correct behavior as I see scripture at this time. That said I see many of my gay friends showing more love and true character in their lives and day to day behavior than many of my Christian friends. When I first saw Syds video I was going to jump on the bike and turn on the camera and make a response vid. I have thought of this more and the last thing I want to do is bring any hurt or torment to my friends that I love so dearly. My friends that are gay in real life and on here do not seem very anxious to want to talk to me about these things. I can't say I blame them based on past stories about confrontations with friends and family when the situation became known.

I ask you Deborah not from your view point but overall do you think this would be of help or cause pain? I do not want this to be looked at as me putting out a story to get views at the expense of people like you that I care for.

I received permission from Deborah to post this as I do not post other peoples information ever
without their permission. The text below is unedited copy and paste just as it took place between
us.

Ok first off this relates to a vid Syd made over on vloggerheads The big Gay Elephant and hiding behind the bible. I wanted to respond to it as a "Right Wing" "Conservative Christian" point of view. Although like many labels such as this on certain things I skew totally the other direction. I have come a long way in the last 45 years of my life from a point of being brainwashed as a child into hating people because they were gay. To totally changing my view slowly and now looking at my gay friends here and in real life as just friends. I think the brainwashing as a child started with the games on the playground among other boys. We would play and fight and get angry. The favorite "insult" to hurl at each other was "you fag" or "you homo." I only a few months ago on the phone talking to LittleStar realized this. When I was in my mid twenties I became an acquaintance of David through a mutual friend. I really tolerated him until one time he sat down at a restaurant where I was alone and broke down crying telling me about a relationship that had just broke up between him and another guy. I kept staring at him and thinking, this is just the same hurt as a straight guy talking about a girl just leaving him. This has really stuck in my mind to this very day. He did not realize to that very point I was not a good choice and only because I kept to myself my feelings did I get the chance to be there to listen and I believe he was looking for me to just listen as a source of comfort. Anyway that's about half the story let me know when you read it and have time I will continue.

This may sound strange to you, but I had to learn to "tolerate" straight people. I came out at a very young age and for many years I thought of myself as a gay woman, not just a woman. I secretly looked down upon straight people. So, here I confess to you that I know of bigotry on a personal level, not only from the times it was directed toward me as a lesbian, but from my own inner feelings about other people. I am happy to say I now view all people as human, gender, color, religion, ethnicity, gay or straight...just humans. We're all in the same boat, it just took me a while to learn that. Thank you for sharing your experience here..I think this topic would make a great blog!

 Thank you my friends
Tuesday, October 14, 2008 (7:55 PM)
(I'm feeling contemplative)
Thank you all my friends and family that took the test I made it a challenge for sure
so I guess I should share some of my reasons and the correct answers. First while I
am very much a cat and dog lover my favorite animal has always been a penguin. No it
has nothing to do with Linux either even though I certainly am a computer geek. I have
always loved the underdog in the fight. Batman to me is the most awesome superhero
because he is respected by all the other heros and he has no super powers.
This same way I think about penguins they are a bird that can't even fly. They have
pretty much no powerful feet and legs like an ostrich. They live in the worst of climates.
Well the polar ones do. Penguins have to dive into water filled with large killer whales
and sea lions and sharkst that are waiting to pounce on them and eat them just to get
something to eat themselves. My main computer I use the most always has a drawing or
sticker of a penguin on it. Sometimes the kids draw me a penguin picture and sometimes
they give me a sticker.

My major in college was pre-med. I have always loved science
and so I knew a pre medmajor would have lots of chemistry and biology. When I asked
my father's advice before I entered college he told me he started with that as a major
and later became an electrical design engineer. He said even if you don't become a
doctor it gives you a good background in science. I later switched to a different
college and studied theology even though I never declared a major at that college.
In fact I never even received my bachelors degree because I lacked the final year
credit. Yes I get side tracked easily and frequently in life. Those stories will
come in later vids or blogs.

My favorite sport to participate in is water skiing.
Having grown up around the Ozarks as a young boy I had some of the most beautiful
and clean lakes to ski in. I also had a very patient Uncle who spent a whole day
watching me face plant in the water until I got the hang of it. My favorite sport
to sit back and watch is football by far. The Chicago Bears are my second favorite
team. First is the team from where I was born Kansas City Missouri. According to
some people that is about the focus of the magic point on the map where you can lay
claim to being a Southerner a Norhterner or a Midwesterner so I guess I can lay claim
to all three although any southern accent in my case has long disappeared. My sister
moved to Arkansas before going to Iowa and picked up her accent real fast. It was like
talking to a stranger till I got use to it.

As for my voting or not for Bill Clinton. The majority of my relatives are from Arkansas
and they are also lifelong Democrats. However I never heard a bunch of people tell me how
they disliked and distrusted the guy. They said the one good thing they liked about him
being president is that he was far away from them. So I know my relatives in Arkansas
to be the kind of hard working down to earth farmers with more common sense than most
college professors. I chose to follow their advice and not vote for him. I will say
during the time he was in office I invested in the stock market and made enough money
to pay off my house twenty years early and put back some investments for retirement.
I still think when a man cheats on his wife he will also cheat anyone else if given
half a chance.
Goes for Republicans too. A cheater is a cheater. The person who gives me regular
ass chewings and gets away with it... well no one so far has missed on that one. I
think we all know her and her playful sarcastic sense of humor.
She knows I would also stand by her if no one else would as she would me.

I Love you sis......
