I’ve known both Christians and atheists who don’t hesitate to judge others, and this tendency is a dangerous slope that leads directly to hatred. The universe continually presents us with opportunities to show compassion, and one such test is how we treat the LGBTQ community. We don’t fully understand the intricate workings of nature or why people are the way they are—but the fact remains: they exist. Their existence alone invalidates the notion that they are “unnatural” or “sick.” They are born this way. And if you strive to be a person of empathy, your instinct should be to bless them, not condemn them.
Sadly, many justify their judgment by seeing LGBTQ individuals as aberrations—either biologically or spiritually. Christians, in particular, may believe they are disobeying God. But this raises a deeper issue: the same scripture that labels them as sinners also advocates for their death. That should be a glaring red flag. It reveals that the Bible, especially the Old Testament, contains messages that are inconsistent with the spirit of Jesus’ teachings—teachings rooted in love, compassion, and empathy. Perhaps we should even leverage modern tools like AI to help us easily filter out the toxic, contradictory passages that have done more harm than good, especially those that oppose Christ’s core message.
Judgment, at its root, is a subtle form of hatred. And hatred—whether we acknowledge it or not—manifests as suffering. Many people remain stuck in emotional or even physical illness because they cling to judgmental thinking. The truth is, the more you stop judging others, the lighter and healthier you’ll feel. It’s no coincidence that chronic animosity often correlates with chronic illness; your thoughts are a reflection of your inner state, and your body follows suit.
I speak honestly when I say I’m deeply disturbed by the level of animosity shown toward marginalized communities, especially LGBTQ individuals. Anyone with intuition—or what some call “Gaydar”—can often sense a person’s orientation long before adolescence or adulthood, further validating that this is something innate, not chosen. The argument that “God makes no mistakes” loses all meaning if we use it as a license to judge and exclude people who had no control over how they were made.
We see the contributions of LGBTQ individuals and other marginalized groups in every corner of our culture—often in spite of the barriers placed before them. Just imagine American society without the influence of African Americans, LGBTQ individuals, or those from numerous external nation states. Their exclusion would rob us of profound beauty, creativity, and progress. It’s time to stop seeing these communities as threats or sinners and start seeing them as brothers and sisters—expressions of the same divine source.
Ultimately, we are all one. To cling to religious texts that promote division and cruelty—especially when they contradict the teachings of love and unity—is to remain trapped in a toxic mindset. When your thoughts are full of judgment, your body and your life suffer. The universe is speaking, if we’re willing to listen: it’s time to change how we think—because a healthy, peaceful world starts with healthy, peaceful minds.
