What if they were real? What a terrible question
They ARE real.
Oh, it's you again. Hello.
Hahahaha I stepped away from my computer for a sec.
And I don't think they are. Rhino's don't count
Thus the previous silence. Then why is it a terrible question??
Also, my bad with that apostrophe. It's just silly, that's all. I'm not a fan of overly silly things
I am terribly sorry. What fun do you find in life, then?? What of creativity? Imagination?
I find fun in the thoughtful-ness of the world.
Thoughtfulness? Explain.
There is a place for creativity and imagination surely, but Unicorns have been overly imagined
There is no cap on imagination. And unicorns are an easy place to start. I mean, if they were real in the sense that a horse had a horn, awesome That's totally possible. Magical powers? Obviously just a fun thought.
As far as thoughfulness goes, I enjoy things that just make you think. Think about life and love. Deep questions. Things like that. I don't really know where I'm going with this, I guess I'm just not a fan of unicorns
So what's a deep question you enjoy pondering? And that's fair.
Here's a deep question: What's the purpose of all this?
This project or this life?
I met someone today, learned their name, and will likely never interact with them again. Why? Was I supposed to help them or they me? Life
Hmm, great question. Are you religious?
Yeah, I sure am religious. That helps with some of the answers, but not all of them. Are you?
Most definitely. I would go into more detail on that but for the sake of this project they want us to stay away from some of that. For the sake of the AI only knowing religion and Gospel haha. Or rather, avoiding only knowing that.
Yes, I totally agree. Here's something we CAN talk about that is both religious and political in nature.
But I accept the fact I can't comprehend the great mosaic of life and its intricate crossings of people's lives. But that someone can. So I rest assured that one day I'll understand.
In a recent religious conference, a leader spoke about members of the LGBTQ community. I personally didn't have a hard time with what was said, others did. It did bring up some questions. As a religious person, how do you feel like the LGBTQ community should be treated? I see most people strive to treat them as normal people, but others aren't able to.
I can't think of what specifically was said off the top of my head, but I'm following. And what are your thoughts first?
They feel like they'd be opposing leaders or God Himself if they 'accepted' gays by treating them fairly in the eyes of the law. I'm speaking about the leader with a name like a tree
Haha okay. And are you saying that is how this leader was speaking or how some people think about the LGBT community in general?
My view is that while I don't plan on getting married to another man, and don't think such marriages should be allowed in any religious buildings, I'm personally not opposed to it. There are many good couples who adopt and raise children in much better homes and circumstances than would have been the case.
I think for the most part we are on the same page. I am a supporter of the agency of others and their right to choose what to do. And in many instances, I don't think the government should stick their hands in marriage. So i don't mind if it is legalized or anything, but I morally am against it.
So why does it keep being brought up and pounded into the ground at such conferences? I feel like we've gotten the point where we understand, so why bring it up over and over? And in such a light that it makes us as a community look so closed minded, even hateful?
So you think what was said was hateful?
I personally don't, but it could be and is perceived as such by others. I would say it was... not needed
And I don't either. And if others do, that's on them. "To the impure all is impure" And if I feel like I already understand the message I understand not all do. And these leaders feel they are speaking what God wants them to , so I try and take a more meek perspective. I personally have a really close friend who is openly gay. I have learned so much from him and he from me. And sometimes all I can say to him is "I have beleifs on the morality of certain things.." "But I will never not love you and be there for you" So while there are increasingly complex topics out there, I know love really wins in the sense God loves and so will I. He has commandments and standards, but he doesn't hate those who don't meet them yet. That's my thoughts :)
