A Curious Girl: I support love

Cool day. Had a barbecue (I'm serious guys, we do this kind of thing in February sometimes) although we ate inside - usual family: Grandma, Jim, Andrew, Maria, and kids. Nice day! Nicky and I are now wearing each other's watches; we're so unfussed about this we didn't bother swapping back :-)

Is this Gold Membership thing annoying anyone else out there? I mean, once again we have failed to create a classless society.

Read some of hardrain yesterday. Talk about thought provoking. I've always had a conveniently vague view on being gay or bi (me being great friends with Abi and all...) but Stephen seems to have much more concrete ideas. Hmm. What do I say?

I've never really been that way inclined (well, not much anyway :-) ). I've never had that kind of desire for another girl. So what then? Do I duck out and just say, "I don't know what it's like, so I can't say anything." Or what? I read something recently that said that the Bible verse condeming homosexuality (1 Cor 6:9) has actually been translated from a Greek word that has lost its meaning, ie. they don't actually know. The early church translated it as 'soft ethics' or lack of ethics, and so that suggests that that was probably the right translation. But that's not enough either - I don't want to just remain vague and uncertain. The truth is, like I say, I don't really understand it. And I guess we always fear or ignore what we don't understand. But I don't want to fear or ignore it.

I suppose if I was a lesbian I would analyse myself. I mean, I do that all the time anyway, so it's a pretty safe bet that I would analyse myself. It goes with what I said to Abi once - if you think it's right, you are not guilty. If you can't help yourself, you are not guilty. And I guess I I would analyse myself to see whether I was right, and if not, whether I could help it.

Don't ask me about sex though. I know I said I thought it was best the way God designed it, but I guess it's up to you whether you agree with me or not :-) (Sorry, another cop out. It's probably gonna stay that way.)

Hmm, I think I have another verse from the Sermon on the Mount coming up - Matt 7:1 "Don't judge other people, or you will be judged."

Or another way of looking at it, I guess, for any devout Christians reading this, is work on correcting your own weaknesses before correcting what you perceive as someone else's weaknesses (Take the plank out of your own eye). Treat other people with the utmost of unconditional love as Jesus gave us, and help them if they're hurting themselves or others. But if nothing appears to be wrong, don't interfere.
