That makes sense, thanks. It’s been a few decades since I’ve set foot anywhere Christian, and I hope to continue that streak for a few more.

And before anyone comes along and says: “But, Jesus swept all that away!!!” Remember that wingnuts still cite Leviticus (20:13, to be precise) as justification for persecuting homosexuals.

Here’s the trick. Jesus swept away the conviction rules but not the sin rules. As in some things aren’t bad per se, they’re just rules to show your devotion. Jesus made is so you don’t have to do those things anymore.
Now, what’s bad and what’s an arbitrary rule? Who the fuck knows? It’s a free pass to have your own rules.
