That, is a thing I can't help you out with. Dang I've been lucky with my surroundings... But... Try to figure out how they feel about homosexuals before actually coming out?
ya srsly. You know what I actually think? I think that every child is gay at birth. Why? Well, we may not really love anyone but every single kid thinks that boys/girls are "icky" to a point where they wouldn't even sit by/hang out with the other gender during lunch/recess and other times.
OK OK! I can help you blood! My friend has the EXACT same circumstance. Your family probably won't make too much of a big deal out of it if you have a straight brother/sister who is planning on getting pregnant/impregnating someone. Your parents won't be devastated, maybe dissapointed for about a week but that would be the WORST. Friends, if they don't stay with you after they know your gay, they aren't friend WORTHY.
@true_blood_master, im in the same situation (except everyone hate me for being athiest instead of gay, because i havent opened up yet either) i take a ton of crap every day, you just gotta deal with it really
Lillith was Adam's first wife in some myths. She was too "uppity" so God replaced her with the supposedly complacent an obedient Eve. Supposedly, the texts that originally included this are in the Vatican somewhere (according to some theorists with no evidence of such) but like so many things in the Bible she was more likely jacked from earlier pagan cultures.
Personally, I think this letter to Dr. Laura (who isn't, in fact a doctor) sums up best why even many believers of the Christian faith don't really take the Bible literally. It's just so obvious that so many things in it were written by people with power in order to control the uneducated masses (often for their own good as in the case of shell fish, wouldn't want those pre-refrigeration).
