I found out I was gay at 6 years old when I hum/ped my cousin Jim Bob.
@Jazz...I'll tackle two of your questions. "Dagnabit" is my fav cuss word. And as for no. 10..."In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth", so if it's not earth, it's heaven. So heaven exists, but is not where i want to live. I want to live forever on earth. And I hope to see God rid this earth of those whom are ruining it (greedy people) for everyone. (just like he promised) What a sight that will be! True justice.
