I went to church today

I went to church today

I don't know what I was trying to find

Hopes? Dreams? A figure to follow and some worthy morals?

I wanted advice, I wanted to feel alive

 

I left there with these words resonating in my head

"Homosexuality and suicide are abominable"

a short phrase that sums the fancy and elaborated speech of the preacher

Only the sinful suffer, and I guess that's why I am troubled.

 

I've thought of suicide jokingly and seductively

more times that I could possibly count

I have kissed girls and I am openly attracted to them

I am not afraid of saying it and with respect, showing it.

 

According to the bible;

Lesbians and gays was a punishment for not obeying God

Suicide is a way of controlling your faith

And the only one that has power over you is the Lord.

 

God gives you what he thinks you deserve

He knows you since before you where born

and because of that he is more responsible of yourself

than yourself itself.

 

Your brains are too small

how dare you to contradict the all powerful one with such disturbing thoughts?

He created all and everything, all and nothing

He knows what he is doing, and in no way you can try to question him

 

I felt more small and insignificant than ever,

How did a invisible figure matter more than my logical arguments?

Can't I decide what I want? Isn't it my body and my emotions the one in play?

There's other 8 billion people and you try to guilt trip me because I want to end it all?

 

Sinners will suffer only the prayer can save you, you can't save yourself, God will save you.

Isn't it better to try to put myself together? Wouldn't I be learning more with that experience?

Instead of repeating words of prayers, shouldn't It try to save myself or solve the problems?

How dare you to contradict the all powerful one with such disturbing thoughts!

 

If God chooses to give you what he believes is right

Then why am I the one in so much pain?

Why good things doesn't happen to good people and to the bad ones bad things?

Is it because the bad ones will always pray?

 

I went to church today

I tried to find support,

I wanted to confess

"Hey, I want to **** myself"

 

I thought that well...

If so many people could feel happy by worshiping

I didn't loose anything by trying

I instead ended up gaining: guilt, trouble, and a feeling that I will burn in hell

Notes

I haven't written in a while, therefore it won't be as good as it was before -it's not like it was ever good, but it used to be at least decent-

So I apologize before hand. I will try to make it better and post the improvement, but it's late, I am tired and this is more a stream of consciousness experience after church.

I hope that at least my point gets across...
