For me this is painful.
I became a born again christian in my first year at University. I thought I'd found god...
Of course there was slight problem. I knew I was gay, and wondered what to do about it.
Nothing seemed to work, whatever I did, I was always gay.
Then it blew up in my face, and an incident occured at University. Shortly afterwards I walked away unable to reconcile what happened and being gay. I just wanted it all to go away and leave me alone.
Eight years later, I had the opportunity to sit down with a therapist and discuss what happened. She helped me through it, and I found an answer that made sense.
I stopped fighting being gay and came out.
My therapist was paid for by the company I worked for, who believed in gay rights. The company closed a long time ago, but they were called Digital Equipment Co. Ltd, a branch of Digital in the UK.
I'm not particularly against the idea of there being some sorta like, deity or something out there in the infinite vastness of space n stuff! I just don't really think we have any grasp on what they could potentially be so I don't particularly follow any religion myself! To be honest though even if there was a god I'm not super sure I'd really be one of their followers haha
