Nathan Exposed: the naked truth about my gay life

tinky winkyIt never makes me happy when a person dies. I want to preface by saying that because I realize that death is a very serious matter and I don’t mean to handle it carelessly.

Having said that, Jerry Falwell died today at age 73. While I’m sympathetic to his family and friends, I am also relieved to know that there is one less person in the world using religion as a forum for spreading hate.

Hate is a disease that Jerry infected the world with for decades. You can dress it up and say it’s the word of God, but I don’t buy it. I don’t believe that God encourages hate.

Jerry has been very powerful at pushing religion into politics since the 1970’s, and he’s definitely made the world a more hateful place.

It’s amazing to think how different the world might have been if Jerry never got into politics. I wasn’t around in the 1970’s, but I know it was a very political decade, focused on giving all Americans equal rights. Religion should have never been allowed into politics.

I believe that everyone has a uniquely positive gift in life. I’m sure Jerry had something good to contribute. Unfortunately, I think he chose the wrong path.

Having a spiritual connection is a wonderful thing. I’m not Anti-God. I just believe that religion is a private choice, and should not be forced upon American citizens through politics. Jerry felt otherwise, and used conservative politics to accomplish things.

So ta-ta and farewell, Jerry.

    Um, bye bye. As positive as a person as I am, I’m not feeling any pain or remore today. At all.

      Well put Nathan. I talked about this with my friend tonight. I said I did not want to come off sounding happy for disrespectful but at the same time I’m glad he’s gone.

        I had a Conversation with God about this earlier today. I guess we’ll have to focus our efforts on Pat Robertson now.
