This is my favorite comic right now, legit. I just want to know everything about everything all at once.
That shark dog is creepy as fuck, too.
But in a good way; such a sweet lad. There, there pup.

Too Many Words
I think this conversation may have resulted from a fundamental misunderstanding, on her part, of human psychology, and a difference in definition of terms between the two of you. The psychology bit is long-winded and unnecessary, so I will forgo it in favor of the more concise (and I think more useful) explanation of where I think the misunderstanding took place.
It seems to me, from reading this very brief exchange in comic form, that her definition of 'religious' centers mostly around the three Judeo-Christian religions and assumes a fundamentalist belief in a holy book and that holy book is opposed to homosexuality. Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that your definition of religion is closer to spirituality, or simply a belief in a god or higher being, holy book optional. From a stance of spirituality, a belief in a god does not hinge upon anything other than personal faith. Since there is no exclusionary dogma to follow, there is no need for justification. From a fundamentalist point of view, her point of view, it is impossible to be 'gay and religious' because that would mean excluding yourself from your own beliefs. In the case of Christianity, damning yourself to eternal Hellfire (this, of course, is not in the bible but we are going with common conception(as opposed to immaculate (Ba-ZING!))). But even if you DID feel the need to take part in an exclusionary dogma it is a simple thing to justify. Rationalization is humanity's special ability.
What I think she SHOULD have said is something along the lines of "Gays should not participate in organized religion because those religions make a point of excluding those gay people." But even this is an oversimplification of religion. Practiced religion changes regularly to reflect developing culture and anyone can interpret any holy book in anyway they like.
So you are right if you believe that you can be gay AND be religious. Neither is mutually exclusive. And even if the people tell you their religion doesn't allow gays, it doesn't matter. All you need to do is decide that it does and there you go! Religions aren't unbreakable laws. You can pretty much make it up as you go.
If you read all this, thank you for indulging me.

Pandas, much like turtles, are natures D students. Only far less useful.

Fuck their opinions. Do it.
And even if it isn't what you want, so what? You know what the difference between a good hair cut and a bad hair cut is? Two weeks.
