of Christianity.

I was born gay into a conservative Christian home. My family had long been members of the Assembly of God church. I knew full well by the time I was 8 years old that I was gay.

The hate that I heard delivered from that pulpit made me hate myself.

Enough to contemplate suicide as a child.

When I could no longer take it, I confronted my parents and told them I refused to EVER enter that church of hate ever again.

At the age of 14 I ran away from home to escape it.

I have lived my entire life under the oppressive boot heal of Christianity.I don't believe in heaven or hell but if they did exist I would rather burn in hell for eternity then ever associate with that religion ever again.

I gave Chistianity a chance and it nearly killed this gay dude.

No thanks.
