Stones

"Love the sinner, hate the sin"
So proudly you declare 
Sit down; we need to talk 
We need to clear the air 
You can't truly love someone 
when you think their whole existence is sin
Your words just puff you up 
Some type of religious high horse 
You think you're holier than me 
"But the Bible says so!"
Clobber passages, the stones you throw 
It wasn't until 1946
that the Bible even said anything 
"against" homosexuality 
Did you know this? 
Those verses were mistranslated 
misinterpreted 
still so misunderstood 
They're turned into something 
that they were never intended for 
They were never meant 
for you to condemn anyone 
The Bible was never meant 
to be weaponized
Just a few more things
I am not a sin 
I am not an abomination 
And you don't get to make hell 
my final destination 
This isn't a "lifestyle"
It's part of my identity 
This isn't a choice I made 
I didn't wake up one day just to say,
"Guess what, world! I choose to be gay!"
That's not how it goes 
And we didn't steal rainbows 

God loves you just as much as They love me 
Stop this religious trauma 
God loves everyone unconditionally 
I wish you could see 
I wish you knew what West End taught me 
Let go of your hate 
Let go of the anger 
Let go of the rage 
Learn the way of love and peace 
Stop throwing stones at me
