I'm considering suicide.

Hey, at least you're not attracted to children. If you think people hate gays, they really hate pedophiles. They can't change that either. However, we do expect people that have attractions to children to control themselves. You can and should do the same. At least you like chicks too so just stick with them.

Instead of thinking what God thinks of you, why not read the Bible and consider what it says? 6 "Seek the Lord while he may be found, call upon him while he is near; 7 let the wicked forsake their way, and the unrighteous their thoughts; let them return to the Lord, that he may have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55

Maybe you're one of the people that don't think there's anything wrong with what you've done. If that is the case, I don't know what to say to you. God obviously disagrees. But we've all done things that we shouldn't have. Some of your offenses are a little more serious but that's alright. Just "forsake" your way, turn to the LORD, and He will pardon you. It doesn't get better than that.

And, actually, that would be pretty respectable. That's what a godly person would do. People in the Bible (like King David) made big mistakes sometimes but they learned from them and returned to the LORD. At the end of the day, he decided to do the right thing. Although his offense wasn't an abomination, it was a capital offense, just like yours.

If you care what God thinks of you it's really easy to make that what you want it to be. If you want Him to love you, be righteous. Do good things. If you expect Him to have unconditional love for you no matter what you do, that isn't going to happen.
