This chapter will be short and not too fluffy, but whatever.
After their Life Support meeting, Collins and Angel, their fingers laced together, walked out onto the street, giddy from the feeling of being in love. As they walked, Angel reached over, pulling Collins' face towards her and giving him a soft, playful kiss. These kisses always seemed to have the power to draw stares, and today was no exception. Dark voices hissed "fags" as they walked down the street, but they were blissfully ignorant. Words had no meaning to people who were truly in love. They just kept walking, their force-field of happiness knocking away stares and insults and people crossing themselves against these "abominations." But it wasn't until someone really invaded their presence that they were brought back down to Earth. A Bible was shoved into their faces by an elderly woman in black.
"Excuse me, have you ever read the Bible?"
"Yes," Collins replied, "For a Religious Philosophy course. May I ask why?"
The woman flipped the book open to a page she had marked with a cross on a chain.
"Leviticus 18:22. Read and be saved, sinners!"
"What? Excuse me, but I don't see what the problem is."
"It says in the Bible that homosexuality is an abomination unto God. You are sinners, the both of you!"
"Give me that," Angel replied, flipping through the book of Leviticus. "Ah, here it is. Can I ask you a question, ma'am?"
"What?"
"Have you sacrificed pigeons yet this month?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Ew! Get away from me, you unclean abomination! Damn, I'll be unclean all day too!" Angel tossed the Bible at the woman, laughing, keeping the page open to Leviticus 15:29.
She and Collins shared a long kiss in front of the shocked woman, then walked off.
"Angel," Collins remarked, "You are an amazing woman."
Psh fundie got PWNED! I love showing homophobes how they don't follow the Bible, either, especially when the rule is only 3 chapters before it. Anyway, the next chapter will probably actually move the plot and have some fluff :3 I'm also working on a Renty version of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Note: I know that not all Christians are like this. Most of us are nice This is mainly directed at the fundamentalists and "literalists." An example of awesome Christians:
