Quotes by Damien Benoit-Ledoux (?)

“You can’t have a God of love who makes everything that is good, who wants you to be happy, wants you to live a fulfilled life, and at the same time, condemn you for the way in which you love—the very way he made you.”
― Damien Benoit-Ledoux, Skyler Phoenix

“There’s a lot of good in religion, don’t get me wrong, but like anything else, when it’s mishandled or wielded as a weapon, no one wins. There’s no point to that kind of faith. Besides, love should always win.”
― Damien Benoit-Ledoux, Skyler Phoenix

“Stop sinning—you mean stop being gay? That’s the thing, that’s where the whole biblical argument falls apart. You can’t have a God of love who makes everything that is good, who wants you to be happy, wants you to live a fulfilled life, and at the same time, condemn you for the way in which you love—the very way he made you. God made me gay, Cam, I did not choose this. He made me so I would love another man. And that is good because God is good and God only makes good things.”
― Damien Benoit-Ledoux, Skyler Phoenix
