The catechism according to common sense

Who made you?
Nature made me.
Why are you black?
I could ask ,"Why are you white?"
My whiteness defines me.
Blackness seems to separate me
Well,we were here first.
How can that be ,when we share so much?
I don't figure that
Underneath our skins,we are all the same
Just what do you mean?
Don't we all need the same prerequisites to remain alive?
I grant you that we cannot survive without air,water, food and shelter
Bones, organs and blood bind us together
Don't tell me that nature created gays and trans people.
Well how did they come to be except through nature?
Now you are just having a laugh.
You believe in God don't you?
Fervently.
And so do I. 
Naw,your God is different from mine.
How can that be when there is only one God?
Just look at the Bible and learn from that.
Are you talking about the whole Bible or just the Old Testament?
The greater part is the Old Testament.
So does that make the New Testament the lesser part and so less important?
It makes more sense to me that way
But you keep on talking about Jesus, and his mission was to get us to love one another
That's too simplistic and overrated.
Why did Jesus tell us to love our neighbour,our enemy and to go out and teach all nations?
It's that last part which tells us we are the superior beings.
Why don't you read the Our Father carefully?
I don't know what you mean.
If the words,"Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trepass against us" don't resonate with you, you are condemning yourself and being a hypocrite.
What about gays and trans people?That ain't natural.
Who made them?They are all God's creatures,made by God Himself.
You are never going to convince me.
Well you had better read the whole Bible more carefully
