[ LGBTQ ] Doesn't really add up now does it?
Missing from the equation?
All other religions you are dismissing
as if yours is the only belief system that
counts or amounts to something substantial
Isn't there some Biblical scripture about vanity?
The math gets even fuzzier
as same sex marriages performed
beyond the compounds of Christianity
aren't recognized as legitimate unions
among Humanity because your God
supposedly said so
Why doesn't the respect ever go
both ways?
Other belief systems
so insignificant
so small
when it comes to Big Religion
where XX + XX
or XY + XY
equals Zero
atheists somehow rate miles above
the LGBTQ crowd
and heterosexuals not truly in love
can marry, divorce, and procreate
like nobody's business

The case of gender and religion is quite an impossible one
Can you believe it in 2021 we still paraphrase books written more than 3500 years ago

Ahhh, but there still is great wisdom to be had from those golden oldies. The main problem with the Bible is bad editing; no time like the present to write a new one. Thanks for the read, PoT!

BRAVO! Truth to power. Thanks for this mind-opening, hopefully, poem. Hugs and peace, Oral

Thanks, Oral! Though it may not be mind opening enough - some cases may require brain surgery.

Thanks, Jack! Omg there is so much irony revolving around the word "business" in regards to the opening statements in Cloven's comp.

ha You’re right. Well done for noticing and mining that particular vein.

So when I first read this I automatically had to add it to my RL because it just speaks volumes. (Now that I'm catching up with my readings), I know Ahavati's piece was just a great, but your approach to these conversations/topics are always pragmatic and illuminating. Yes, the big religions like to swing their weight around and claim to be the true path and somehow they miss the irony. Now it seems more like a weapon to control people and keep them in fear.
But you are correct sir, it doesn't really add up.

Thank you, Wally. Yeah, she really nailed the pro and anti LGBTQ perspective in one poem. Even in seperate poems, I found it a struggle to do an anti perspective. But I did grow up in a non-religious household, which allowed me to see they were all on an equal playing field.
