I Have A Boyfriend

[Hassan]

Everyone I ever have or ever will love will someday die never to return. That doesn't undo the time we spent togethe or the expeiences we had. I don't know what you mean by brief moments of happiness. I'm happy and content during the overwhelming majority of the time I have been alive. If you need the hope that the experiences you've had will somehow be vindicated or preserved through eternity for them to be worthwhile or meaningful then this is unfortunate.

Except then you'll die too, and it will all mean nothing........ right?

I honestly don't think this was necessary.

You'll be nothing, and soon enough everyone you ever knew or who ever knew you will be nothing as well. How can it mean anything at all?

Because it was arbitrary. You lived a life where you felt elated instead of sad. Woo...hoo.

But hey! When your'e dead you can look back and cheri--...oh wait.

If you don't care to elaborate, that's cool, but eye rolling doesn't really do much for me.

Somewhat better, but contrary to popular belief, I don't have unlimited powers of mindreading.

It only works when I hit the magic point of caffeine and/or alcohol in my bloodstream, and right now I'm a bit over that point for caffeine, with no alcohol to balance it off.

Fidei, I think that you know that I care deeply about you, and I do deeply desire your happiness.

I think there is a part of you somewhere that is crying out for God's approval, hence your bringing this here. I believe that you legitimately want people here to be happy for you, but I know that you also know that that will be nearly impossible given the circumstances. You have moved across a large portion of moral ground in a reasonably short period of time and I know that it is difficult for you.

May I indulge in a bit of conjecture? I hope that you don't find this offensive, because I mean it totally in love. I think that you have obviously struggled with SSA for a long time, and for that reason, immersed yourself in the Church to try and blot out these emotions. When that didn't seem to correct the problem, you went headlong in the other direction, eschewing God for Godless (and I say that not putting words in your mouth, just stealing from your title). You found a place where you could comfortably explore your SSA without guilt.

Except I don't think that is working like you thought it would. Even though you seem happy, there is still a small part in your heart that isn't settled, and it won't ever be. That is the part where God still calls out to you.

I'm not going to lecture you on your choices. You know the moral law and you know God, too, whether or not you are still speaking to Him. I truly want you to be happy. I mean that sincerely. You are never going to hear me tell you that homosexual acts are OK. What you will hear me say is that I love you as my dear brother, and I desire the best for you (and for your boyfriend, too) and that I trust the Almighty Father to take care of you. Whether you let Him do that is entirely your choice to make, as you well know.

May God's love enfold you, Fidei. I am always your sister in Christ.

Good thing I'm frugal with my +1s. I definitely needed it for that post.
