Don't Make It Worse (It Gets Better: An Addendum)

Please watch this documentary, For The Bible Tells Me So:

(Thank you to Mugica00 for bringing it to my attention!)

Please read my blog post on racism and homophobia:

People are entitled to their own opinions but not their own facts.

Believing that people choose to be gay is like believing the Earth is flat. It was a popular belief hundreds of years ago, but then people came to their senses and realized they were wrong.

Where I referenced Leviticus:

If you need more RELIGIOUS reasoning, please scroll down to where it says READ THIS.

*******
STOP using hateful language.

STOP bullying.

STOP judging.

I don't think you want someone's suicide on your conscience.

*******

If you're being bullied and are having suicidal thoughts, TALK TO SOMEONE. There are people that love you. Don't give in to evil people, and don't let ANYONE try to tell you YOU'RE the evil one.

If you're having a hard time and feeling stressed, try to breathe, and realize you're worth just as much as any other human being on this planet.

Sometimes you just need to remember to breathe.

When I get stressed, I try to clear my mind and listen to relaxing music. Hope this helps:

And it does get better.

To those who make people want to take their own lives: don't make it worse.

*******
READ THIS!

@SoundlyAwake 1 Timothy 2:12 says nothing of being gay its says a woman is not to be the dominant in the household instead the man is to "wear the pants". Also thank you FadingtoRed at least someone isnt blind because of society

[soundlyawake]

@Hunterdog777 Man, you really are brainwashed, huh? I quoted that Bible verse because it's RIDICULOUS and misogynistic. If she follows the Bible the way she claims to, she shouldn't have responded at all because she's a woman.

[FadingtoRed]

Bro, you can't use the Bible to defend being gay considering God created men to be with women. Not men with men or women with women. That's considered sin. You made the verse say what you wanted it to; you can't do that.

[soundlyawake]

@FadingtoRed alright then. 1 Timothy 2:12

[Hunterdog777]

No but were you or do you have upstanding history that proves it isnt

[soundlyawake]

@Hunterdog777 Read "Letter to a Christian Nation" by Sam Harris. It will help shake you from your brainwash.

[Music4life2512]

You are 100% RIGHT!

:) This is a really good video!

[StilettoTheStrange]

@FadingtoRed Invalid point is invalid. The bible has been written, re-written, translated and re-translated so many times that--realistically--there is no possible way for it's original meaning to be known by any living creature in existence. Period. The bible everyone reads today and the doctrines that you people live by are all personal interpretations made by your religious leaders who are looking for a fan base, not salvation. If they can do it, why can't Nick?

You inspire me.

[xXbeckyg97xX]

So being gay is "against" my religion, but all I'm going to say is:

Nobody should be bullied. About anything. Not being gay.How they dress. The music they listen to. I just want to let you guys know that, yes, I've got your backs. You should be nice to everyone. That's what I think. People are people. No matter what.

[DeannaSmithMusica]

You are an amazing individual

[merandyyy]

I have 2 children, one of which was born when I was unmarried. I dont think God hates me for that. I also dont see God hating one of my children for being who they are. If one (or more) of my children turn out to be gay, I will teach them that God loves them for who they are. I dont see how what you said wrongly interpreted the bible. Who says the people who disagree with you are interpreting it the right way? Anyways, my point is that I LOVE this video, and thank you for sharing this!

[OldNewsThinker]

Nobody chooses to be gay… you do, however, chose to be a discriminative bigot

[oreoawesomenessful]

@soundlyawake but god hates no one if he hated gays he wouldnt have made them if .Right?



[rxcxavier7]

Your funny and smart

[818TUCAN818]

lol i always love how people take the word abomination from the bible in hebrew its not abomonation. it more close to taboo...when the bible refers to that its saying the circumcised can not partake in these action becuase they can not get married therefore it s adultery. Learn the orgins of your religion and to my catholic brothers and sisters remeber it is a SIN to talk smack about homosexuals. We as catholics belive god made people gay but calls them to chastity. canon law... excuse my typos!

[ddhall95]

Love has no gender. Simple as that.
