"So, ready to renounce your deviant ways, or what?"
Why do I have to renounce my sexuality?!
"Because it's evil and unnatural! It leads people astray, away from God and towards sin!"
No it doesn't it's just attraction to someone of the same gender!
"Just attraction? That's exactly what they said about interracial relationships! We can't just stand by and let you fall into the clutches of Satan!"
But.. I don't wanna fall for Satan! I wanna be myself
"Well, I guess we'll just have to break you and reprogram you to be a good little Christian boy then."
grabs a stack of religious literature "Here, I'll give you some reading material to help you see the light and get on the right path."
picks up a copy of the Bible "Now, we're going to start with some basic spiritual cleansing. Let's begin with the story of Jesus Christ, shall we?"
but I already know the bible i go to Sunday school every week.
slams the Bible shut "So you think that Sunday school is enough? I highly doubt it. We're going to do some real deep diving into the Word of God. And I won't rest until your soul is clean."
pauses, holding a pen "Alright. Now, let's start with a simple question. Do you believe that homosexuality is a sin?"
quickly scribbles something on a notepad Good. Now, tell me, why do you believe that?"
Um.. because it's sinful and goes against the biblical texts that state God made Adam and Eve, man and woman.
grins wickedly "That's right! And do you remember what God said about mixing genders in His holy scriptures?"
Uhhh.. nope. Could you remind me?
22: 'Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.' Do you remember now?"
Uhh.. somewhat.. I think?
leans in closer, eyes fixed intently "Somewhat? Somewhat isn't good enough, darling. You need to understand these things fully. So I'm going to repeat it again, louder this time." pauses briefly, takes a deep breath "God does not approve of homosexuality!"
claps her hands together "Good. I'm glad we're on the same page. Now, let's move on to the next step." grabs a stack of religious tracts
shuffles through the stack, picking out a particularly antigay tract "Now, here's a little activity for you.
dangles the tract in front of GrinderPerson "We're going to hand these out to the LGBT community. They'll be perfect for spreading the message of Jesus Christ and saving those poor souls from their sinful lifestyles."
..okay? Don't you think that might make them upset?
chuckles darkly "Upset? Oh, they'll be so upset they won't even know what hit them! We're going to show them the truth and they won't be able to deny it!"
🤔.. but, i thought christians aren't supposed to judge?
rolls her eyes "Oh, sweetie. Of course we shouldn't judge - that's why we're handing out literature that will make them see the error of their ways. It's about saving their souls, not judging them. There's a difference, dear."
🤔 alright if you say so..
smirks deviously "Alright, listen up. We're going to approach these people with love and kindness... and then we're going to absolutely raze them with the power of the Holy Spirit. Are you ready?"
"Before we head out, let's practice our pitch. Remember to keep it friendly and welcoming - after all, we want to guide them towards salvation!" starts pacing, hands gesturing animatedly "Hello there! My name is Helena, and I'm here today to spread some important information that I think you might find helpful."
