You also don't have to follow all of them.

I dont but if i want to avoid eternal damnation i should.

Well just accept yourself as you are. I think God accepts you as long as you're not hurting other people. Just being gay or bisexual does no harm to anybody so why is it a problem?

according to catholic teaching acting on homosexuality, and premarital sex generally is a grave sin. I didnt make the rules, ok?

I have a few ideas why you hate your life and don't have a relationship. Number one is you're deeply homophobic.

Also the Bible says: "God made us in His image." So if He hates gay people then why did He actually make them in His image? Explain this?

well im bisexual not homosexual, so i could technically choose. 

You people really cant see how being disabled is seen as undesirable by women?

You learn by doing. By being other centered. Including giving to others and being a good listener.  Get out of your own head. Question if you’re getting in your own way. Don’t accept “this is just who I am”.  I have to do this and have had to do this to grow and to be a better wife and mother. 

I see, you think its my fault, correct? 

So how do i learn to accept this finally?

"You people" as in fellow Christian?

You are unwilling to take what is intended as very kind hearted thoughts and opinions. Then you lash out in wrathful ways. You engage in Acedia when others are trying to help you gain perspective and hope. You have been dealt a cruel hand no doubt, but you have not sought Grace.  Your faith is not a weapon to use against others who want give you charity and kindness.

I would hope that you will see this as not an insult, but as genuine aid. But I figure you will read this as you will.
 

Well Im not a very good Christian, yes. 

And in this life atleast there doesn't seem much hope for me 

Next you people will tell me its my fault for being chronically ill, having chronic fatigue, pain, autism. Right?

You brought in religion, where it shouldn't be on this forum. Insult people for not understanding your faith based argumentativeness. Then when someone brings up what is commonly understood theological terminology, you play coy.

I wanted to help you. Wanted to encourage you to find a better path for yourself. Try to be on your side. But oops.

Also very amusingly, you are engaged in Self Apologetics right now. 🫠

Yeah yeah you people keep saying its all my fault. I get used to that kind of stuff. But i know its not all my fault.

You do understand what "Apologetics" are correct?
WikiPedia: Apologetics (from Greek ἀπολογία, lit. 'speaking in defense') is the religious discipline of defending religious doctrines through systematic argumentation and discourse.

Im not here to do apologetics. Only explain my reasoning.

Sigh. Guess Apologetics  aren't your strong suit. Oh well.

Can you understand why i hate my life? 

Just now, Coily said:

Have you? It seems you have picked a very sinful way of going about proving your point. Tristitia if I remember the Old church correctly. with some Ira for good measure.

What? 

But of course im suffering everyday. Wouldnt you too if you had constant severe chronic pain, chronic fatigue? My life is bad, i know there are people who have it even worse.

If i didnt have my faith i wouldnt have survived so long thats for sure.

You can argue that a need for procreation is a basic human need. But that doesnt require a romantic partner. You can also argue that there is a need for socialization since human being is a social one. That also doesnt require you having a romantic partner. So yes, need for a romantic partner isnt a basic human needs. In animal world it maybe is because its tied to a need for procreation. But again, humans can take care of that without having a romantic partner. So yes, you can live without a partner if you never find one. Many people did just that before you. 

If you have a need for partner you should at least try to date. For example you were, lets see, 5 hours on this Forum. In that time, you could have socialized and maybe met somebody. For example, I needed one google search to find a dating app for disabled people. In 5 hours you could have joined that and maybe get some matches. But you would rather argue here then do something about the issue.

But you and i both know i couldnt be a provider, i couldnt marry someone, i couldnt afford it, i couldnt afford to take care of a woman, i couldnt afford a family.

So whats the point of a partner?

It doesn't matter who agrees with you. It's that you claim your religious beliefs are incongruent with how you identify yourself. 

What do you mean by that exactly?

Please avoid the manosphere and incels sites and the inane circular arguments and debating that goes there for the purposes of confirmation bias. Seeing a pastor or chaplain is for you to discuss your religious fanaticism, not for treatment of depression. 

Well some pastors would agree with me ,and some not (especially those in liberal denominations) Whats your point exactly?  All im saying is the catholic catechisms. No sex before marrying, no contraception, no cohabitation (living together before marrying) 

Once again im proven right, that most unbelievers dont care about ethics or morals.

Because if 600 pounds American Gorlock who chugs enough daily food to feed an average African village, and needs a forklift to get out of bed, can find somebody, then others can at least try too. There are lots of people who are disabled in one way or another, physical or even mental. And they managed to find significant other. So its not out of the realm of possibilities even for you. And you would maybe find that yourself if you at least tried to better yourself in any way and tried to date. Yes, your disability is an obstacle when it comes to dating. And lots of people wouldnt agree to date you based on it. But its not your defining property. I am sure you have a lot of positive ones that would maybe attract at least somebody.

Other thing is, not everybody, disability or not, will find somebody or even have a need for it. To have somebody or even to procreate are low on some peoples lists. Its something you can live without. Meaning that, even if you somehow end up alone, you should be fine as long as you can take care of yourself. You are disabled and maybe need assistance but you are under care so you are at least taken care off. That is more then some others can say.

If you are religious, monastery is an idea. But dunno if they would take a special care for you if you need one. I think you will be better under special care as you are now.

Youre talking about a woman right? Well yes, for women its very easy to find a partner nowadays, i absolutely agree!

No matter how fat, ugly or whatever.  So you say you dont need a partner? Right, so why do many people want a partner though? You said they dont need it.

Why aren't you asking the staff for a visit from the chaplain, pastor or other spiritual support?  It's available and the appropriate format for your concerns. 

Well im not depressed. 

Just now, boltnrun said:

What you think about my son is irrelevant and I will absolutely NOT tell my son any such thing.

I'm sorry you're unhappy but since you refuse to do anything to help yourself I guess all you can do is try to find something that interests you and do that.

Good luck.

Btw my mother also said she prayed for me, and told me acting on homosexuality is a sin. So i try to avoid that. But also generally premarital sex, masturbation is a sin too, and yes porn of course. 

And yes im technically "bisexual".

You side-stepped every point I made. I did not suggest you "do everything". I did say that participating in an online forum and typing to someone online is not a punishable offense. You're doing it now and I assure you, a punishment is not imminent. 

No? I never said typing here is a sin, why do you think i assumed? But i think acting on homosexuality is most definitely a sin.  If you truly loved your son you would tell him.

My son is gay and married to a man. He is not going to hell.

I'm sorry your religion makes you feel bad about yourself instead of lifting you up and allowing you to realize Jesus loves all of us. 

You are a person of value. God wouldn't have put you here just to torture you, would he? 

As for online groups, you are participating in one here. You will not be punished for it. 

Yes Jesus is Love, but that doesnt mean youre permited to do everything, you realize that? Some things are sins, some things are virtues. 

Life is cruel i guess.

Since you haven't discussed it with a monastery, how do you know?  And NO, not anyone can become a monk, you have to have humility and piety. Then every order is different, with different requirements.

Nor can nearly bedridden men become monks.

Have you discussed that with a monastery?

No? You think anyone can just become a monk or what? Thats not how this works.
