The Homophobic Obsession Of The Catholic Church

[sesame]

The belief that a cosmic jewish zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.....yeah makes perfect sense.

Clever choice of words .
Funny, no doubt.
All cosmology, including Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Indian, just name it... seems like stories told under the influence of cannabis
But if you consider them as fables with some inner meaning, then they dont appear as bullshit anymore.

We humans love less and hate each other most of the time.
When we are comfortable, we consider ourselves as God.
When we are nose deep in shit and trouble thumps our shoulder, we look up and say, "Why God, why?"
When we hurt others and cause trouble to them, we consider ourselves to be in absolute control, possessing total power.
We throw friendship, love, innocence down the drain to get hold of trifles all along our stupid lives. When we die, we find that all the trifles we have valued so much are worthless. Ironic!
When nothing makes sense anymore, we look around in horror and find that God has left us long ago.

The Church's problem with Homosexuality stems from the Mosaic Law from Leviticus and Paul's letters to the churches in Rome and Corinth. Unfortunately, from an historical perspective the and a linguistic study of the Hebrew and Greek the passages were written in, shows that perhaps the admonishments against "homosexuals" is not as clear as the Pope would have us believe.

We believe quite easily whatever we are fed. Who digs old manuscripts and ancient records to know the truth? Probably next to none.
The church takes advantage of this ignorance and leads us to believe anything. They have gone to unbelievable extents to establish bogus ideas in collective psyche. And history stands testimony that the church becomes quite cruel and ruthless if anyone ( even wise Galileo Galilei ) dares to shake those beliefs. Their merciless ( opposite to Jesus's teachings ) nature comes into action immediately.
In this age of science and anti-feudal democratic environment, the church has wrapped itself up in a harmless (sort of ) garb.

I believe in Jesus.
This cartoon is just for fun.
Dinosaurs are from before the ice age.
Dinosaurs existed 15 Million years ago.

But Bible says, there were pairs of all kinds of animals in Noah's ark.
Were a pair of Dinos in that boat too?

I believe, in all fairness, that it makes sense to separate dogmatic religions from the more advanced ones. And yes, I do think it has merit to qualify religions by their moral habitus. The good old Danish Lutheran Church does not preach condemnation and anti-anything. It preaches the love of Jesus Christ as the foundation of all good. And that, by my book, is what it's about!

Other religions tend to focus more on all the things that we cannot do from superficial moralistic and outdated values than what is merely the right thing to do. I believe that we're closer to Jesus than ever in the advanced democracies where humanity has become a natural part of every body's life. Sticking ones ass up in the air five times a day chanting GOD GOD GOD does not seem to make one a particularly constructive citizen doing a heck of a lot of good for people in need. And going against the advice of using condoms in Africa to prevent disease is down right diabolic - it's SO NOT Jesus Christ!

Peace!
