Bi God!

This is an educating article on the aspects of both male and female qualities in relation to divinity. Interesting reading. I hope to read other equally insightful articles here at http://www.bisexual.com

One thing about my own Deism is that there isn't anything against homo or bisexuality. Since it occurs in nature, it appears to be quite normal for someone to have an orientation that is not hetro. Deism is about following "Nature's God" and using our own reason to understand the Creator and the universe. Looking towards nature, if this was so abhorrent, we wouldn't see it in humans and other species. Our world is open to amazing variation with us and other species.

Sometimes it bugs me when people try to change a religion to ft them--if the religion doesn't fit you beliefs, you should try to find something that makes sense to you and doesn't condemn what is really "normal" behavior. Needing to change a belief shows a flaw in that system.

addendum:

Here's an interesting article on bisexuality in nature: http://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...sexual-species

I don't know if you've ever read 'Radical Love: An Introduction to Queer Theology' by Patrick S Cheng, but your essay (which was wonderful) reminded me of the following passage from that book. I don't identify as a Christian, by the way, and I'm not trying to proselytize. Your thought on the bisexual/trans nature of spirituality just made me think of this passage: " Mary with her crying infant is a perfect figure for queer theology. She is a virgin who yet gives birth; a mother for whom there is no father other than the one she comes to see in her son. And her son, when grown into the Christ of faith and heart, in turn gives birth to her, to the ecclesia he feeds, with his blood as once he was fed with her milk. And then this son takes her—his mother and child—as his bride and queen, so that we can hardly say who comes from whom, who lives in whom, or how we have come to find our own bodies remade in Christ’s: fed with his flesh which is also Mary’s."

I have to add another note on my previous post. I believe that the Creator created the laws of nature and set this universe in motion. I am also open to the idea that the Creator may have subtly tweaked things as needed, but proving this may be impossible. For a Deist, the only true word of the Creator is all of Creation itself. By looking at the world around us and studying it, we try to infer what we can about the Creator. I'm very pro-science and I think evolution is a fantastic mechanism that is backed up by scientific data. Science is the lens that we view the universe.

For me, I feel close to the Creator when I'm exposed to natural surroundings, when I look at the stars out in the country, and when I yell into a horizontal-falling rainstorm at the South Jetty on the Columbia River. That is where I feel like I'm in "church", in communion with the Creator. There are never words, only wonder.

Perhaps I should start a Deism thread for those interested. Either that or convince you to read Thomas Paine's The Age of Reason. lol I do have to admit that I'm really getting into some of the classical literature right now, but this is not a difficult read. The English of the late 1700's is pretty close to what we're speaking today.
