Homosexuality — Should We Obey The Laws Of Man Or God?
The same people who indoctrinated us against it, are telling us it's ok now. Forcing us to choose between God or man.

I was born and raised in a religious country. I attend religious schools. In schools, we thank our creator four times daily. That is twenty times per week. We thank our creator for life as we awake at home. Whether we have breakfast or not, more gratitude.
For dinner at home and before bed. We also thank him for other needs, wants, and personal victories. So, we give thanks more than times per day.
Depending on your religion, there are more prayers at church on Saturdays or Sundays, for me at Sunday schools.
We believe God is everywhere we are, and we were raised to see him in all humans, including families, friends, and foes. Also in plants, animals, the weather, the actions, choices, and decisions of humans, etc.
We were also warned of his wrath if we disobey him.
Religious Education from primary school strengthens our core about God, his values, and how he wants us to live.
My country Jamaica is considered one of the most homophobic places in the world. It’s because we were indoctrinated as children by our parents, churches, schools, the bible, and its teachings. We were raised and instructed to do what God wants us to do without question. We believe that he is our creator and should do his work.
We were raised to believe that homosexuality goes against God and the bible.
Sometimes, the teaching of the Bible, considered to be the most-read book in the world can be confusing.
Our world has changed.
Reading this article this morning and I asked, “Who should we listen to?
The laws of man? Or the laws of various religions they use to indoctrinate us?

Personally, I am with God, but wisdom, understanding, common sense, knowledge, and discretion show me that you have a right to live your life your way! You are the only one paying for your sins. When you lie in bed at night, you are the only one there with your thoughts and how you live your life. Your name is on your pay stub. Only you can live your life. And you have every damn right to live it how you want to without fear or judgment.
Who is right in the area of and about homosexuality?
Who should we believe?
Who should we listen to? God or Man?
You got to understand, we were indoctrinated by the same religions who helped to teach us about these laws of God.
The same people who indoctrinated us against it, are telling us it’s ok now. Forcing us to choose between God and man. While creating conflicts that often lead to cruelty and death for many innocent humans who are just different and want to be themselves without fear.
This is confusing for many worldwide.
Homosexuality issues and discussions had become as dangerous, explosive, destructive, and harmful as racism, destroying families and lives in the process.
Why?
How did we get to this point?
The human mind when indoctrinated, won’t accept what it’s programmed to go against.
If it started growing from the mind, it’s going to be hard because change must be started deeper. A desperate human would say, ‘reprogramming.’
God has proven himself to be better than humans to many of us. Billions worldwide can and will testify of his goodness to them, their lives, and family.
Man is the opposite.
History has not hidden the destruction of man from humans and our world.
Who is right in the area of homosexuality? God or Man?”
Whose laws should we obey?
Are the teachings of the bible enough to save us?
