Warb did you chose not to be gay the way I chose not to be a biblical literalist Christian?

I've really given some flavours of Christianity some consideration.

Particularly, The Society of Friends but they seem too nice for me to spoil their party.

I was raised in a form of the Christian tradition and the teachings of Jesus appeal to me.

The actions of the old testament God appall me but it's hard to find fault with Jesus.

If that was the Christian ethos alone it would be more than enough to keep the world a relatively trouble free place but you have the Just So stories and Game of Thrones bolted onto one end and an ergot induced anti-Nero tract on the other (with some pretty nasty thoughts of Paul etc scattered on top like candy sprinkles).
