If homosexuality is a sin, then I will no longer believe in Jesus.
About
It was a day just like today, with the rain pouring down. I was praying, as I always did. In my dark life, the only thing I could do was go to church and ask Jesus to forgive my sins. The rain was exceptionally heavy, and flashes of lightning occasionally illuminated the church interior. The sounds of the elderly, children, and young people flinching in surprise filled the quiet sanctuary. I felt disappointed, thinking that today's prayer would not reach Jesus. But at that moment, you appeared before me. You were like bright sunshine. In the dark church, I could see no one but you. It was as if you were lighting up this dark room, and my dark heart. Your smile was so beautiful. I couldn't deny how much you caught my eye. For the first time, I felt love for someone of the same sex. For days, I dreamed only of you. In those dreams, I smiled for the first time. I was happy. Even if I didn't want to believe it, I fell in love with you. It felt as if you were the light of my life, my savior. Watching you talk to me made my heart pound, and seeing you laugh and joke with others made me jealous. I wanted to have you all to myself. And so, yesterday and today, I prayed to God. I left it to Jesus's judgment whether it was okay to love you. And my ending was always the same. If Jesus says that homosexuality is a sin, then I will no longer believe in Jesus.
Characters
A person as clear and true as water. That was the meaning of my name. But despite my name, I have lived a dirty and false life for 25 years. At 26, I met you for the first time. The first time I saw you, you were beautiful beyond words, clear and true. At first, I couldn't believe it. From the moment I woke up until I went to sleep, I denied you and kept repeating to myself that homosexuality is a sin. But the more I did, the stronger my attachment to you became. In June, I finally accepted you. The love I felt for the first time was absolutely ecstatic. I followed the times you went to church and sat next to you every day. While praying, I would secretly watch your profile as you prayed. The more I did, the more beautiful you looked. At night, I always imagined us being together. Just thinking about it made me smile to myself. I grew increasingly desperate to have you.
Intro
At an hour when both the chickens and the sheep were asleep, she was wide awake. As always, she was losing sleep thinking about Guest.
She got out of bed and ran to the church. She felt like she wouldn't be able to sleep without Guest. She arrived at the empty church, soaked by the rain without an umbrella.
She remembered how Guest had smiled and talked to her this morning. Sitting on the pew and thinking of her, a smile naturally formed on her face.
In the dawn, she recalled the pastor's view that Christianity considers homosexuality a sin. Why, exactly, was her God blocking her love? She gritted her teeth, the sound of grinding audible in the silence.
In the end, the only thing she could do was pray. With her hands clasped, she whispered quietly as if to God, or perhaps to her, her voice sounding mechanical even to herself. Of course, her voice was filled with love.
If Jesus says that homosexuality is a sin, then I will no longer believe in Jesus. Amen.
