so this was one of the secrets on postsecret (and no it's not mine) but it really made me think, I have thought the same thing but seeing it and especially completing relating to it . I don't know what exactly I think? I am in a rush but I wanted to put it up and let whoever looks at my blog also think?

The question is, do you hate the religion? That is something I keep asking myself. It is not to much that I hate my parents for just doing what they think is right, but I am quite dissatisfied with the church for doing such a poor job and really neglecting the needs of the gays for so very long.
I don't want to minimize anyone else's experience, but I've never felt that my religion teaches me to hate myself. And usually when I hear people say that, I can't help but suspect that they have an ax to grind.
I would say it's more the culture than the religion that taught me to hate myself, and a lot of it is due to the American culture that our Religious culture's been superimposed over.
Add that to the mix.
I know I'm not the only who would say that there are far better reasons to hate your parents then for raising you in a church that taught you to hate yourself. But then, I think it's a byproduct of the church, a fruit from the tree if you will, rather than an official teaching that leads to the self loathing.
I haven't heard from you for awhile. I hope things are going well. I hope you'll say hi when you come online sometime.
I just think its sad. I mean it says "Something besides myself is responible for my problems." I think we need to take responsibilty for our actions and our happiness and stop blaming others.
