From the time of conception we are already immersed in a womb that we cannot choose, the genes that we have are instant that were from shared biological genes of two people. Whether they ended up together or not we will have some features of their holistic and humanistic design as an individual.

The question is does our experiences we had has something to do with the genes that we have, and if the decisions we make or even our own accultured religion influenced by that; it is possible that gender preference can be dictated by norms and the people that surrounds us. But the truth is we can live with the dictated preference by the society or within the community. Their thoughts and opinions at some time in our lives were considered because we thought it is always important.

We all know the saying that LOVE KNOWS NO GENDER, well it is a must to say that LIFE and LOVE KNOWS NO RELIGION too, this is probably the reason why gender preferences are made, identified, acknowledged, and some were accepted. We can exist at our own space as individual, we can choose to hide and just live how life will lead us.

But there are moments in choosing to live a gender are not the same. Some have good times and some don’t. The phasing of choosing a gender is not the same when it comes to transitions, adapting, and by acceptance.

Jesus is the way. Amen, Yes HE is. Yes, He is the way, HE is the truth, and HE is the Life. We may have different religions but with one intention and that is to pray and praise on the believed gods or God. To have a religion is good in a perspective. It can guide someone to be good or just play to be good for belongingness.

The religion is truthful. Does it mean that being truthful is equated to virtue and value of honesty? Some can attend to his or her religion truthfully. But who will knows if you will not tell, no one will ever know. Keeping the truth about own sexuality will help in some ways. The thoughts about our sexuality are clustered by different contexts. But what I know is that never give up on PRAYING, regardless of your sexuality. PRAYING is like HOPING. It is not giving oneself a false hopes, it is PRAYING the TRUTH; or is it just Playing the truth?

There is what they call a chemical romance in our minds that synthesize a relationship for two. Here is the sad part, when two people are attracted to each other without making considerations on present status and can break their own religion’s rules. Love is really powerful. Powerful to break a religion. Powerful to break someone’s feeling. Powerful to make someone sad and cry. On the other side of it, Love can also rule to protect, to be part of healing process, belongingness, truth, and acceptance. The question is, do someone needs a religion to love and just to be loved?

Well humans will always be humans. It put a little smile on the face when realizing someone does not think about religion when having a casual intimacy after a party. What is with humans that is so weird when they feel intimate to oneself or when two people have intimacy and not thinking the religion they have. Maybe it is a call of nature. It can be the calling of a situation. Then after sometime a person began to wonder where is religion during those times? Is the religion’s absence to be blame? The answer is religion will always be a religion.

Forgetting the religion for awhile is pretentiously satisfying without worrying of belongingness and being judge. There is no prejudice of not thinking one’s religion in millisecond compared to millionth seconds of a given life. You only live once. Life is constantly pacing and moving forward. There are something else to go on in our lives. Love will always be there, same with our religion.

Hoping the readers will agree that you don’t need a religion to love.
