Your "friend" sounds like quite a charming individual. I'm an atheist, but I'd never be obnoxious about it. Perhpas being gay just teaches you to live and let live, but I guess not in his case. Don't let it get you down, not when there's a new chapter of TOU with which to distract yourself.

Nick,

Yikes..I agree with Reaper...being Gay to me is live and let live...there is room for everyone under the big Rainbow...geez...but, hey, live and let live....you have lots of friends...but ones that want to know intimate details about your sex life....well, um, he can't be um that good of a friend and yucko, was slime coming out of his IMs? ewwww....tell him to read a nifty story.

I am spiritual but not religious but if you are, well just remember that some people don't share your views..its ok..it is what works for each person....organized religion freaks me out....I even get panic attacks at times going inside a church (even went to a friend's Buddhist meeting and had a bad panic attack.....it wasn't pretty and Buddhists are very peace loving people.)

Any hoo....just keep in mind as Reaper said, some of us are aethists, some spiritual, some agnostic, some religious..but we are all human beings and Love is Love...I just read somewhere that if Jesus were alive he would be (or assuming if Jesus came back as Mary) hanging out with we Gays, Lesbians, down trodden, homeless, poor, those with AIDS/HIV and not with the rich types of the world....stay humble, help the least amongst us and then you shall be doing Jesus's and Buddha's and God's work...and human dignity's work.

and you do a lot of that Nick..so keep being humble...stay open minded, forgiveness that you have but don't worry, you have your BF and stay strong in your faith...it is what it is..no worry about defending it...live it...no need to have to "preach it"...living it is what its all about...or words to that effect if that makes sense.

Tolerance in our community is important too...those that don't get that..be more patient with them...you have lots of patience....just know its ok to be you...we know and love you:)

oy, now I rambled ten paragraphs too long and sound "preachy"..sorry for that..

Thanks for the support and the good advise about TOU....lol...you're right. That was a really awesome ending to a really awesome story

I dont think you were being preachy at all. Your whole post made perfect sense. I think that what really upset me about this whole thing is that I trusted him as a friend. I spent a lot of time online with him, just chatting, and now I feel like a total moron. Anyway, Im not gonna let it bug me anymore....thanks for taking the time to post such a cool comment on my blog.

Nick,

I know how you feel...I have done that and then get kicked..well, don't feel like a moron...You were being you....giving of yourself...hey, its ok to be loving and giving...and I feel sad for your former friend....seems as if he took advantage of your generous heart. I don't believe in wishing bad karma, since it comes back 10 fold..but in the order of the scheme of things, maybe your former friend knows how you feel and how he hurt you...maybe somewhere in there he will learn something and then hopefully learn not to take advantage in that way....just don't let someone's immaturity (and that knows no age limit) and bad conduct get you down so you feel you have to change your ways when they need to change their ways.

I hope that makes sense.....just give your BF lots of hugs and kisses....think how lucky you both are...and snuggle closer and feel how much you love each other and how right that is...now, that should make you feel a lot of heaven on earth:)

Hang in there Nick....remember your loved ones and online buddies have your back:)

Michael
