Reformed Protestantism is weird because you have a God who makes people sin and punishes them for what he per-ordained them to do.

14 What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all!
15 For he says to Moses: “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.
17 For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.
19 One of you will say to me: “Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?”
20 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’”
21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?
22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction?
23 What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory—
24 even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?

When I was a teenager I went to church with my dad and the pastor guy made an allegory that creation was a painting, so I guess God is ultimately an aesthete and that explains why

That pastor was probably a homo. I hope you didn't go back and got molested.

At least he’s trying to ski butterfly. Unlike some people.

I think vetted priestly homos should be sent to mono statues and those with confirmed desires for the feminine can actually be priests. Then you send under cover vetted heterosexuals to randomly attend monastic life for a few weeks and call in any homosexual (pedophelic) tendencies observed and if so call in a purge of the monostary.

Books for this feel? Or books that make sure homosexual isn’t is sniffed out?
