And if a simple human 'has no problem' why would God?

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

As for the priests, the same goes.

I've been my sister's best man (maid of honor ? whatever lol).

Where I live, same sex couples get married by mayors. Just wanted to give a shoutout to these mayors, because not every of them accept doing it. Actually not so many of them.

Also been marchin' in the gay pride. Was a lot of fun, very few people disagreed with it. Been picked on by two persons, they've been expelled right away. I asked if it was okay to march in the front (I'm straight, was with my GF and a gay friend who invited us), was told it was exactly what was needed, that pride is supposed to be difference erased, not marked or shown.

Thank you for your thread and what it brings up in people

I suspect, 'it' really is not a minority.

Just my opinion.

It seems appropriate to discuss this issue here in the Spiritual Forums.

What are your thoughts on this very sensitive issue that is creating major divisions in the spiritual communities?

https://news.yahoo.com/rebel-priests...140448577.html
So, what is the purpose of this thread? To discuss? Really?

Is anybody crazy / free enough to express a contrary opinion?

Are we, the good people expressing outrage against the Papal directive's intolerance, tolerant enough toward somebody who might side with the Pope and his cohort on this issue? ... Cancel the Pope!?

Still_Waters jumped on BigJohn just for not condemning enough ...

Really? Cancel BigJohm!?

Will I be cancelled by the social-media mob for defending BigJohn's right to a non-committal post?

Will I be cancelled for posting on this committed thread a non-committal post too?

"There are five basic skin types - normal, oily, dry, combination and sensitive"

You know that some company recently decided to remove "normal skin" from products, not to offend the "abnormals" ...
Maker of Dove Soap Will Drop the Word ‘Normal’ From Beauty Products

A spokeswoman said it would remove it from more than 200 products.

anomaly:
something that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected.

very true this is 2021! one tweet or post with one bad word in it can get you fired from your job, your house burned, protestors knocking on your windows, and get you to be front page news where billions will see it. in some places you can also go to jail for life for a bad tweet or post.

this is a weird time we live in but then i figure with the human population doubling every 60 years or so we have billions of new souls around here who are not very deep

i would never cancel somebody. jesus told me not to judge others! but jesus didn't tell me not to understand things and people. i think it's ok to understand, good even, but then to judge what one sees and understands as good or bad would be wrong. i think everything has a cause and an effect and a grand purpose for spirit.

Surely love is first and foremost. How on earth could it not be. We all deserve love and respect regardless of anything else. I sure am glad I'm not part of that teaching. Division is not ideal only love can unite the masses. Amen
