Title - Prison Religious Oppression (1 of 2)

Q:
1. After the recent passing of Assembly Bill #132, The Transgender Respect & Agency Act which allows inmates to dress in clothing that matches identity. There is now private talks going on between LGBTQIA+ inmates about if we should stop signing up for religious services, or stay because they have empathy for us?

A: Sounds more like pitty to me, so I stopped going myself, and here's why. It's impossible to empathize Bible verses away, like Deuteronomy Chapt 22 - Verse 5, as far as the clothing issue goes, Abomination is Hate, search it.

As a Gay Black Man, as long as Leviticus Chap 18 - verse 12, and Leviticus chapt 20 verse 13 is in the Bible, I'm out, because "Put To Death" is clarity enough for me, so if that Gods adversary Satan can't play word games with The Bible, well, people using words like Empathy lets me know they have no idea that I don't need them to be in tune with how scripture makes me feel.

A physical closet, and a spiritual closet doesn't sound to me like Innovative Constructive Rehabilitative Programming towards freedom.

Q:
2. I'm Gay, also in prison, and a Christian told me that The Soddom and Gamorah Abomination Story was in the Old Testiment and Christian now go by the New Testiment, and God loves me too, so what about that part? Is Soddom & Gamorah in New Testiment?

A: You are the classic example of why this prison new media podcast is so important. Please stop allowing people to play word games with who you are, and know that in the New Testiment, The Book of Jude at vers 7 should clear that up for you asap, and even though Religions have freedom of Speech, and freedom of Religion in prisons, you have the right to simply STOP Going, unite LGBTQIA+ fellow captives, and create a safe space for all of us to land, we call it, The Sound Mind Streamer, yep, that part right there. FYI, find the Book of Jude Just before The Book of Revelations, forgive that Christians ignorance and mov forward. Jude not Empathetic.

Q:
3. You make alot of sense that I plan to share, so what if somebody says "are you/we saying that empathy can't change hearts?"

A: No, what I/we are saying is that, so far, no amount of empathy has been able to change that Hate Speech against LGBTQIA+ people in the Bible. Read those verses again, they are still there. All of us should not be there, I'm not going back to a God of Hate in prison.
