Holy WOW!
The Pope has made an first ever comment about homosexuality.
It's now the churches stance that, homosexuality should not be considered a crime, oh yes, it's still a sin.
God's like, go ahead let me show them the love for punishment as I so loved man ...

@fatslothslim and therein lies the paradox of Christianity.

They teach that Jesus died to forgive all your sins (present, past, and future), but also chastise you for sins and demand you repent while here on earth. Uh... I've been forgiven, and even if I follow a strict interpretation I need only ask and then I will be forgiven, so...

@fatslothslim I gave up on religious dogma long ago. That's not to say I don't believe in a higher power, but it's more of a spiritual belief than religious. The idea that there are rules for how to communicate with that higher power and what universally pleases or upsets them is ridiculous to me.

@PrivacyL0st two peas'!
I am a recovering Catholic.
But I guess if I were to label myself today it would be Agnostic, I think. 🤔

@fatslothslim I do enjoy the "fellowship" in Church, so I occassionally attend for that, but I found the most progressive, least strict, denomination I could find, that does a ton of unconditional community outreach. Even then, I can only take the structure in small doses though.

What I really abhore are the mega-churches grifting, raking in millions, and helping noone.
