Autobiography of a Christian lesbian's battle and subsequent tranquility with self and God, despite the biblical "clobber" passages and the Creation story many leverage to condemn homosexuality. Raised an Evangelical Lutheran I felt freed when I realized I was gay, but was afraid I would go to hell if I acted on my feelings to love and be loved. My diary-like book takes the reader through the years I was tortured by the feeling that something was mistaken with me because I wasn't love the other girls. I had no idea, till I was 27, that what tortured me were my lgbtq+ feelings. How I found peace with those feelings and peace with God is seen in the evolution of my faith and my understanding of misinterpretations and mistranslations in the Bible. I delve deeply into all similar gender sex passages and show how they led me to peace with God. Peace in knowing that homosexuality is NOT a sin, nor is it even negatively mentioned in the Bible and the peace in knowing I am saved, just as I am. A needed read for all ga

Christianity and “Biblical” Hatefulness
We Christians are good at a lot of things. Helping others. Dressing up on Sunday. Quoting scripture. Pot luck meals. Taking care of church members. Weddings. Funerals. Worship. But perhaps the thing at which we are the most persistently exceptional is misinterpreting the Bible then running amuck in the planet because of it. Honestly, mad skills. And history backs me up on this one.
We hold used the Bible to support, promote and act upon some pretty un-Christian things: slavery, holocaust, segregation, subjugation of women, apartheid, the Spanish Inquisition (which, no one ever expects), domestic aggression, all sorts of exploitation and the list could move on and on. Oddly, if you ask theologians to pick one biblical theme to control them all, most of them would say “love”… skillfully, love and grace. Okay, love, grace and forgiveness. Okay. They probably would not specifically approve on a free term, but they would most likely name something that is, in every way, the contrary of the oppression, belittlement, hatred and marginalization represented by the numerous atrocities committed by the Christian Church.
