pope – Bruce Llama

Pray for all powerful peace

Bruce — Thu, 12 Jun 2014 04:44:09 +0000

Prayer is all-powerful. Let us use it to bring peace to the Middle East and peace to the world. #weprayforpeace

— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) June 7, 2014

Did you know that the pope did twitter?

This tweet has been re-tweeted about 6,000 times, not bad I guess. Franky-poo seems to have over 4 million followers, I bet most of them aren’t catholic or christian.

Anyway, it’ll be news to his god that prayer is all-powerful, pretty sure the deity had that one down pat. It’s great that so many people see prayer as the answer.

Checking the middle east – nope, no peace yet, pray harder.

Checking the world – nope, no peace yet, pray harder.

Maybe they’re doing it wrong?

Pope Franky is still catholic

Anyone would think that the new pope Franky was a good thing. He may seem to like the gays and the atheists and even the poor. I haven’t yet heard anything decent come out of his mouth that can’t be read as nothing more than catholic traditional teachings. Basically the church is still a blight on our society, regardless of who the head man is. Sure, sure, he wants to live in a little apartment and drive his own car, good for him. That’s a bit like changing one light globe in your house to something more energy-efficient and pretending you just saved the world from global warming.

In his first every christmas message as the pope, Franky had a call to atheists.

“Peace is a daily commitment. It is a homemade peace,” he said.

Looking for something here that may suggest that the leaders of nations should be working toward peace… no, not here, maybe further on.

He said that people of other religions were also praying for peace, and – departing from his prepared text – he urged atheists to join forces with believers.

“I invite even non-believers to desire peace. (Join us) with your desire, a desire that widens the heart. Let us all unite, either with prayer or with desire, but everyone, for peace,” he said, drawing sustained applause from the crowd.

You lot have prayed for peace for thousands of years and yet it still hasn’t happened. Why is that? Doesn’t your god listen to you? Instead of preaching to the poor little people, why not issue the challenge to the leaders of the nations that continue to throw their resources at fighting battles about stupid things. And to suggest that ‘non-believers’ need to be invited to desire peace is such a crock of Franky poo. It sounds like atheists really want to be at war!

“God is peace: let us ask him to help us to be peacemakers each day, in our life, in our families, in our cities and nations, in the whole world,” he said.

Oh bullshit, open your bible Franky:

Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.¹

If you want peace in the world the last thing you need is a catholic telling you how to get it. All around the world we have religious people praying for our armed forces, that’s code for wanting god on your side to destroy the enemy without causing any harm to our guys.

In his speech, Francis asked God to “look upon the many children who are kidnapped, wounded and killed in armed conflicts, and all those who are robbed of their childhood and forced to become soldiers”.

It’s a pity that god isn’t being asked to look upon those priests that rape the children and prevent it. It’s a nice sentiment but really the problem isn’t the children, it’s the adults that use and abuse them.

This pope if he really wants to make a difference in the world needs to call out the people who are actually causing the wars, the ones that are really abusing the kids. It’s the political leaders of this world that need to be named and shamed.

Start with Tony Abbott and asylum seekers. Putin and gay rights, Obama and Afghanistan.

Yes, it’s in the bible, Jesus said it ↩

Michalik is an Arsehole

The attitudes of the hierarchy in the catholic church won’t change any time soon – you can have as many pope Franks as you like, they’re still a bunch of arseholes.

THE top cleric in Poland’s Roman Catholic church has said parents share the blame for certain cases of pedophilia, including those involving Catholic priests.

Share the blame for kiddie fucking? This top cleric who probably likes to be addressed as “Your Grace” wants to share the blame? Pardon me while I feel sick and lick the shit from my fur.

“Many of these cases of (sexual) molestation could be avoided given a healthy relationship between parents,” Archbishop Jozef Michalik, head of Poland’s Episcopate told the Polish PAP news agency in Warsaw.

All of these cases could be avoided if priests knew how to behave. Why would you try to shift the blame to relationships between parents? In typical fashion, rather than look at his own guilt in any of this, yet another bishops seeks to blame the victim.

“We often hear that this inappropriate attitude (pedophilia), or abuse, manifests itself when a child is looking for love,” Archbishop Michalik said.

Who describes raping kids as inappropriate attitude? I can only think something was lost in the translation. Linking the child looking for love is akin to saying that the child was a willing participant. I wouldn’t at all be surprised if he said something along the lines of “she was begging for it” when dealing with rape.

“It (the child) clings, it searches. It gets lost itself and then draws another person into this”, Archbishop Michalik said.

So now it’s the child’s fault for drawing in another person. The child, if you remember, is the one that is raped by a grown man. This graceless catholic nitwit is actually suggesting that a child attracts a child abuser. Clearly the child is to blame as it’s lost. Forget that the priest is out there hunting for his next victim and takes advantage of a child. Uses his position of authority to abuse his victim and then uses that same authority to threaten the child into silence.

“How many wounds are their in children’s hearts, in children’s lives, when their parents go their separate ways,” he told the PAP.

“Today nobody talks about divorce doing great harm to a child. It’s obvious that sex abuse does great harm, one can’t forget about it, but it’s not the only thing” causing harm, he added.

Sure, divorce is not nice for a child who is needing security and love of her parents, but to try to divert the blame to parents and the child instead of focussing on the real perpetrators of crime is reprehensible.

The people to blame for sexual abuse is the abuser. Those that were aware of the abuse and do nothing, you know, cover it up or move the abuser are to blame. Those who are apologist for the abusers are to blame. The last person who has any fault at all is the child.

Grow some balls bishop, take some responsibility for your part in the whole messy affair.

You are an arsehole.

Pope is indifferent, hasn’t found jesus yet

Bruce — Sun, 23 Jun 2013 09:36:19 +0000

If we have found in Jesus meaning for our own lives, we cannot be indifferent to those who are suffering and sad.

— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) June 22, 2013

This is some sort of joke yes? The man who catholics have dubbed pope, Poppy Franky, is telling us that he isn’t indifferent to those who are suffering and sad.

Tell me what it is when a new church can be built for $8.9 million dollars in Aiken, South Carolina where 27% of homeless people in the state are families.

How would you describe the erection of a $2.9 million church on the Gold Coast when the schools are over crowded. Only an indifferent parish would pour the money into a church that will be use a couple of times a week, rather than an educational building that would be used everyday of the week and is free on Sundays.

What words to use to understand why 1 in 4 people in Philadelphia are hungry and yet the Catholics can build a $9.6 million church in Downington? How many fridges, stoves and rice can that much money buy?

There are plenty of examples around the world of people, some of them catholic, doing great things for the poor and down trodden. Yet, here we have a pope, that despite his claims to care about the poor, still lives in a huge palace the likes of which the world has never seen. He presides over the richest institution of all time and still we have suffering and sad people. Catholics pretend to have found jesus and have meaning in their lives and yet they continue to build useless buildings that do nothing for those who are suffering.

How is this anything but indifferent?

Ding Dong off He Goes!

Bruce — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 21:59:18 +0000

Every world shattering event needs a theme song:

So, Pope Benndydick has called it quits. Â In the clearest sign yet that there is no god, the pope has gone and left his job without divine intervention!

For thousands of years the Pope has to wait until god ‘calls them home’, it apparently is god’s way of thanking his representative on earth for all the hard work he’s done.

I can just imagine the pope’s silent and wasted prayers to his god. Â “Please god, I’m so fucking tired, this job gives me the shits, all these kiddie fuckers to protect I just don’t want to do it. Â And then there’s theÂ whole twitter thing. Â I can’t trust the butler, there’s all these gays and people fucking! Can’t you kill me now?”

Instead of waiting to be smitted, Benndydick just gives up and goes off to a nice little palace where plenty of nuns will fuss about him and fluff him. Â His pillows. Â God must be really pissed off to have the supreme pontiff quit on him.

Now, in true style of religions around the world, the people who support the church, the people who do the work, they won’t get a say about who leads them. Â Instead they’ll have to fund a bunch of guys in dresses and stupid hats fly to Rome to sit around and wait for the holy spirit to give them the name of the next pope.

And somewhere, someone will be looking through the prophecies of Nostradamus hoping to discover the end of the world is nigh!

Another Crazy Catholic is Smug

Bruce — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 09:37:52 +0000

[SOURCE] Sacerdotus left a message on my blog on Christmas day, I only just read it today, and then went off to visit the website of said Sacerdotus. The blogger is catholic and seems to have the jesus virus bad, and loves the pope. Â Lots. One of the recent entries is about LGBT. Â Let’s have a read!

“LGBT” is an acronym that lists the different categories of identities within the homosexual umbrella – Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Transsexual. Â However, I want to transform it into something better. LETÂ GODÂ BEÂ THERE.

Oh, I see what you did there, I suppose you think you’re clever!

I invite my brothers and sisters in the homosexual community to allow God to work in their lives.

I’m not your brother and I dismiss your faith as irrelevant. Â There is no god to work in your life or my life.

Unfortunately, there is a bit ofÂ animosityÂ between the LGBT community and what they are told God is. Â The Old Testament does have harsh words regarding homosexual behavior. Â Catholicism and other Christians speak out against homosexuality with such fervor that we are sometimes looked upon as bigots of hateful people.

You are bigots and hateful people. All the way up to your pope who blames gay people for all sorts of things wrong with the world. Â And the old testament doesn’t just have harsh words, it wants to put gay people to death. Â Go check.

In reality, we areÂ neitherÂ Â We are merely calling all to live in accordance with the natural law which is ordained by God.

Well good for you, now fuck off and keep it to yourself. Â You are in no position to ‘merely call’ anyone to live in accordance with the natural law. Â God and natural law have no right being in the same sentence.

The Catholic Church teaches that homosexual feelings are not a sin. Â It is a sin when they are acted upon.

Sin is such a christian thing. Â There is nothing wrong with having sex and there is no such thing as sin.

We still do not know what exactly causes some to be homosexuals.

Causes? Â Who cares, the reality is that we have people from all over the world and all through time who are gay. Â The cause is of no importance to those people. Â Being able to live without fear is important.

Â Psychologists are stuck on the issue and feel it is a combination of nature and nurture. Â No homosexual gene has been discovered and for the most part, a homosexual’s brain is pretty much the same as a heterosexual’s in regards to function.

No heterosexual gene has been discovered either. Â Nor a gene for being a douche. Â Your quip about people’s brains sort of borders on saying that there is something wrong with the brain of a homosexual person. Â How rude!

In any event, homosexuals are not strange or evil people. Â Yes, some may act a big strange or may be different – we all are different. Â This does not give anyone the right to bully them or attack them in any shape or form. Â They are God’s children. Â Jesus died for them and opens His heart to them as He would anyone else.

And here you are, allowing your pope to blame us for the destruction of the family. Â Here you are suggesting that if we so much as touch the wobbly bits of a same-sex partner we are doomed to burn for all eternity in a hell created by your god who supposedly loves us. Â We are attacked, vilified and harassed by well meaning catholics and you still don’t get it.

We as believers in God must attack the behavior, not the people. Â Homosexuality is not a sentence to hell, but can be an opportunity for grace. Â The Catholic Church calls all to chastity, including married couples. Â This may seem hard, but it is not impossible. Â One of our greatest minds and saints, St. Augustine of Hippo said in his Confessions, “Lord make me chaste – but not yet!”

Chaste? Â Why should I give up sex? Â I’m simply not going to, and a whole bunch of people, gay and otherwise see through this sort of control. Â Then there is the loving threat that we get from catholics. Â Homosexuality is not a sentence to hell! Â but mind you, if you don’t accept grace and turn from your sinful ways then that’s where you’ll end up. Â In hell, and you’ll only have yourself to blame.

Our sexuality is important and is very powerful. Â How else can human beings reproduce if they cannot even get close to a partner? Â This is why sexual drive is so powerful in us. Â It stems from the “be fruitful and multiply” command of God. Â However, we should not be the sum of our sexuality. Â Our sexual drive should not define us or control us. Â This is why we have intellect, conscience, will and reason.

You’ll be pleased to know that sexual drive does not define most of us. Â You’ll be delighted to know that it has been like forever since sex was only about reproducing. Â In fact, humanity has gone out of its way to find ways to prevent the sperm and egg from coming together to make a baby! Â People have sex because it’s fun. Â It has very little to do with the actual breeding. Â Even the catholics have been smart enough to work that out and they too have found ways to cheat the falling pregnant thing. Â (ThinkÂ rhythmÂ method or the Billings method). Â Gay people are not the sum of their sexuality. Â They too have jobs, families and hobbies, they don’t just fuck all day long.

God is the designer of our bodies. Â Only He knows how to work them and control them that is why we must pray to God to help us whenever we are tempted to do unchaste things.

We the people more and more understand how the body works. Â The designer of the bodies that you claim is one fucked up designer. Â Why put nails on toes that can be ingrown? Â Why allow teeth to rot and hurt? Â Why make sex so good and then insist that people not do it? Â Your god seems to have fallen asleep during the design meetings.

Unfortunately, those homosexuals who “come out” and show no remorse for their actions become slaves to their sexuality. Â They categorize each other as “tops, bottoms, versatiles.” Â They are no longer persons, but instruments of sexual gratification. Â They categorize themselves as “fems, butch, twinks, bears.” Â They are no longer persons, but objects that one can pick and choose based on one’s desires.

Sex is sex. Â It’s good, you should try it. Â There is no reason for gay people not to come out. Â Why would there be a need for any remorse? Â It helps to know the type of person you’re having sex with, what do they like? Â Saves a lot of hassle later on. Â And whether you like it or not, sex is about gratification. Â Sure, sometimes it’s about love, I love my love llama, we have gratification sex and we have lovely sex too, quite often at the same time. Â What’s important is that we want to share the good times together. Â Sounds mighty fine to me.

God intended more for homosexuals than what they do among themselves. Â Unfortunately, sexual desires can be so strong that it can blind one from seeing God’s plan and the dignity of oneself and of others.

How would you know what your god intends? Â And the sexual desire, regardless of sexuality, is strong in some people. Â However, this particular catholic seems to be suggesting gays are so sex-crazedÂ that they do nothing else.

It is not the end of the world. Â Prayer can help. Â LetÂ GodÂ BeÂ ThereÂ my gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transsexual brothers and sisters. Â He will help you in life. Â He will answer your question: Why am I this way? He will help you to discover your true self so that you can take charge of your life and not be the sum of your sexuality. Gay people are not “tops, bottoms, versatiles, fems, butch, twinks or bears;” Â they are not objects for others to enjoy sexually. Â They are human beings worthy of love, respect and dignity. Â They are God’s children who are in the same struggle as everyone else. The LGBT might seem to be a lost sinful case, but that is not so: Â “…where sin increased, grace increased all the more.”Â Romans 5:20

The only person prayer helps is you. Â It helps you think you’re doing something useful while being completelyÂ useless. Â Sexuality for most people is actually a very minor part of their whole being. Â It’s only the people on the outside that have a perception of gay people being obsessed by it. Â It’s possible to be a sex object and be a worthwhile human while showing love, respect and dignity for your ‘sex object’. Â It really is. This ongoing self-righteous crap that religious people embark upon with an air of ‘truth’ is what’s wrong with the world. Â It’s the catholics who think they are the ones with the truth who show noÂ humilityÂ and parade themselves around like a prostitute in an Amsterdam brothel. Â They no more have the truth or the answers to the universe than I do. The arrogance of non-gay catholics to attempt to impose their world view on others is staggering. Â They pretend to do it with love and grace from god, but the reality is that they do it from some deep-seated need to feel superior and ‘saved’. The lot of them can take their religion and shove it up the pope’s clacker with a pointy stick and a flagon of altar wine.

Pope claims catholics have the truth

Bruce — Sun, 23 Dec 2012 08:23:42 +0000

[SOURCE]

Pope Bendydick in his christmas message had two points, one about families and the other about interfaith dialogue. Â I wrote about his version of family earlier, and now it’s worth having a look at his other contribution to the ongoing need for religion in the world.

In his rambling talk about inter-faith relationships Bendydick narrows it down to two rules. Â Rules are important to catholics.

Two rules are generally regarded nowadays as fundamental for interreligious dialogue:

1. Dialogue does not aim at conversion, but at understanding. In this respect it differs from evangelization, from mission;

2. Accordingly, both parties to the dialogue remain consciously within their identity, which the dialogue does not place in question either for themselves or for the other.

These rules are correct, but in the way they are formulated here I still find them too superficial. True, dialogue does not aim at conversion, but at better mutual understanding â€“ that is correct.

That’s right. Â Dialogue is about listening too and respecting the rights and beliefs of others. Â It’s about suspending judgement and being curious about the other point of view.

But all the same, the search for knowledge and understanding always has to involve drawing closer to the truth. Both sides in this piece-by-piece approach to truth are therefore on the path that leads forward and towards greater commonality, brought about by the oneness of the truth.

The trouble with religion and with the catholics is that they think they have the truth. Â Judgement is never suspended on this idea. Â There is no doubt in the mind of the catholic that they are just plain and simply right.

As far as preserving identity is concerned, it would be too little for the Christian, so to speak, to assert his identity in a such a way that he effectively blocks the path to truth. Then his Christianity would appear as something arbitrary, merely propositional. He would seem not to reckon with the possibility that religion has to do with truth.

See that, have us much dialogue as you like, but don’t expect the christian to give up their truth. Â Bendydick gives us the ultimate reason as to why inter-faith dialogue will never work. Â Christianity can not appear arbitrary in any way according to Bendydick. And this I’m sure is the same for all deeply held faiths.

On the contrary, I would say that the Christian can afford to be supremely confident, yes, fundamentally certain that he can venture freely into the open sea of the truth, without having to fear for his Christian identity. To be sure, we do not possess the truth, the truth possesses us: Christ, who is the truth, has taken us by the hand, and we know that his hand is holding us securely on the path of our quest for knowledge. Being inwardly held by the hand of Christ makes us free and keeps us safe: free â€“ because if we are held by him, we can enter openly and fearlessly into any dialogue; safe â€“ because he does not let go of us, unless we cut ourselves off from him. At one with him, we stand in the light of truth.

Such supreme arrogance. Â Really, it is. Â To think that of all the religions on the face of the planet you are the ones with the truth. Â This instantly says that regardless of all other claims made by others, only you have the truth. Â This is no way to peace and prosperity. Â It actually encourages believers to think that they are right and the rest of the world is wrong. Â It also means that when you come to the discussion table have no humility. Â When things go pear-shaped the scapegoat isn’t those who have faith, but those that have a different faith. Â It makes perfect sense. Â The reason the middle east is in uproar is because they don’t accept jesus. Â The reason Ireland is split – jesus. The reason marriage equality is wrong, jesus.

Until the religions of the world accept that if they consider other faiths to be wrong and other faiths consider your beliefs to be wrong, then it would be fair to say that all religions are wrong.

I can say that, because I think all religions are just wrong. Â They don’t hold the truth. Â I don’t hold the truth. Â Nobody does, there is no ‘truth’ as religion would have you think.

Pope Confused about his Gender

Bruce — Sun, 23 Dec 2012 01:16:57 +0000

[SOURCE]

It’s that time of the year when all the christians get excited about celebrating the birth of their god, that’s the god who has alwaysÂ existed. Â Christmas is about his birth apparently.

Pope Bendydick, head of the catholics, addresses his cardinals with a christmas message, and has a bit to say about family.

The great joy with which families from all over the world congregated in Milan indicates that, despite all impressions to the contrary, the family is still strong and vibrant today.

What impression? I don’t think that families are going anywhere. Â Sure there are families that struggle, but generally society still has strong and vibrant families.

But there is no denying the crisis that threatens it to its foundations â€“ especially in the western world….So it became clear that the question of the family is not just about a particular social construct, but about man himself â€“ about what he is and what it takes to be authentically human.

Crisis? Â The ‘crisis’ isn’t named, it’s assumed that you know what it is. In the ‘western world’ Â he’s talking about marriage equality. Â You know, letting those gay people call themselves married and raising families. Â Bendydick overlooks the important piece of information that gay couples with children already call themselves families and some of those couples refer to each other as husband or wife. Â It’s been going on for years, and guess what, the world hasn’t ended. I also can’t help but notice the use of the word man, of course, Bendydick is German, speaking Latin, translated to English, so perhaps it gets lost in translation, but to talk about humanity as man is very rude.

The challenges involved are manifold. First of all there is the question of the human capacity to make a commitment or to avoid commitment. Can one bind oneself for a lifetime? Does this correspond to manâ€™s nature? Does it not contradict his freedom and the scope of his self-realization? Does man become himself by living for himself alone and only entering into relationships with others when he can break them off again at any time? Is lifelong commitment antithetical to freedom? Is commitment also worth suffering for?

Unless you’re asleep at the wheel Bendydick, people do indeed make commitments, they do so because they want to. Â People all over the world come together, have children, live and die. Â Some of them stay together, some of them break up. Â Contrary to popular papal crap, women too make commitments. Â And yeah, we all should be able to leave a relationship. Â Much better to be happy out of a relationship than unhappy in the relationship. Â Nobody wins when unhappiness abounds. Â I’m not suggesting Â that couples don’t try to maintain and nurture their relationships, one should never just give up.

Manâ€™s refusal to make any commitment â€“ which is becoming increasingly widespread as a result of a false understanding of freedom and self-realization as well as the desire to escape suffering â€“ means that man remains closed in on himself and keeps his â€œIâ€ ultimately for himself, without really rising above it.

Talk about make a crisis where none exists. People make commitments everyday. Â And I’m not sure what you mean by the desire to escape suffering, are you saying that if you make a commitment you will suffer? Â Who would willingly do that? Â If you mean that getting married means making some personal sacrifice, then that’s different to suffering.

The Chief Rabbi of France, Gilles Bernheim, has shown in a very detailed and profoundly moving study that the attack we are currently experiencing on the true structure of the family, made up of father, mother, and child, goes much deeper. While up to now we regarded a false understanding of the nature of human freedom as one cause of the crisis of the family, it is now becoming clear that the very notion of being â€“ of what being human really means â€“ is being called into question.

Things must be tough when a catholic has to quote a jew on these matters. Â Where does this persecution complex come from? Â There is no ‘attack on the true structure of family’ as far as I can tell no-one is trying to rip apart families. Â The only notion being called into question here is the question of what happens when people don’t fit the mum, dad, child scenario. Â And rightly so. Â The way the church thinks things should be is not based in reality but in a false assumption that all was created by god and written in the bible. Â We’ve moved on.

He quotes the famous saying of Simone de Beauvoir: â€œone is not born a woman, one becomes soâ€ (on ne naÃ®t pas femme, on le devient). These words lay the foundation for what is put forward today under the term â€œgenderâ€ as a new philosophy of sexuality. According to this philosophy, sex is no longer a given element of nature, that man has to accept and personally make sense of: it is a social role that we choose for ourselves, while in the past it was chosen for us by society.

By sex you mean male or female. Â It has never been an element given by nature. Â Gender identity has been around for as long as humans, we may have lacked the understanding and society has given gender roles, now we understand that someone’s gender identity may not be as black and white as previously thought.

The profound falsehood of this theory and of the anthropological revolution contained within it is obvious. People dispute the idea that they have a nature, given by their bodily identity, that serves as a defining element of the human being. They deny their nature and decide that it is not something previously given to them, but that they make it for themselves.

If the theory of gender identity is false, science will sort it out with more research. Â I don’t think that people dispute the idea that they have a natural gender identity. Â It’s not given, its innate. Â While some of us don’t understand how you can be born with one set of equipment but feel like you should have the other set, that doesn’t mean that it’s any less real. Â I have no desire to have sex with lady llamas, my straight friends don’t understand why that’s the case, but they don’t try to deny me my innate nature. Â Why would they? Â I’m not denying my nature any more than someone who is finding their gender identity is denying theirs. Â In fact, I would say that they are trying to throw off theÂ societalÂ expectation that they behave the way society expects based purely on the parts that dangle off their body.

According to the biblical creation account, being created by God as male and female pertains to the essence of the human creature. This duality is an essential aspect of what being human is all about, as ordained by God. This very duality as something previously given is what is now disputed.

Stop taking everything the bible says as gospel. Â Wait…never mind. Â Brace yourself, Bendydick. Â The bible isn’t to be used to describe the nature of man. Â It was written so long ago, long before people began to seriously look at the world. Â It’s just out of date and wrong. Â You can no longer claim things as being ordained by god without providing some research or evidence to back that up. Â The duality of male and female is what you expect, it’s not what being human is all about. Â And yes, that duality is disputed, and it’s disputed because the one size fits all no longer fits, we know this for two reason, science indicates it and people are better able to articulate who they are.

The words of the creation account: â€œmale and female he created themâ€ (Gen 1:27) no longer apply.

They never applied in the first place. Â Gay people, transgender people, intersex people have always been part of our genetic make up as a species. Â At last we recognise the diversity of our nature.

No, what applies now is this: it was not God who created them male and female â€“ hitherto society did this, now we decide for ourselves. Man and woman as created realities, as the nature of the human being, no longer exist. Man calls his nature into question.

You’ve got it the wrong way around. Â Society created them male and female. Â Now people are free enough to face the reality of their being. Â For me, my reality is how much I love my love llama. Â I didn’t create that reality. Â I accepted it.

From now on he is merely spirit and will.

Yeah, whatever.

The manipulation of nature, which we deplore today where our environment is concerned, now becomes manâ€™s fundamental choice where he himself is concerned. From now on there is only the abstract human being, who chooses for himself what his nature is to be. Man and woman in their created state as complementary versions of what it means to be human are disputed.

Around the wrong way again, it is the duality that was the manipulation of nature. Â Trying to get people to play the role of male or female based purely on the expectations of society and the bits of a person when they are born. Â Some men and women are ‘complementary’, some men and men are ‘complementary’… you get the picture. Â Again, the thing in dispute here is your expectation that humans should conform to your duality because it says so in the bible.

But if there is no pre-ordained duality of man and woman in creation, then neither is the family any longer a reality established by creation.

At last, a sentence that makes sense. Â Duality of gender identity and the notion of family are all human constructs. Â Nature, if it could care, doesn’t give a flying duck fat crap about you, me or anything else.

Likewise, the child has lost the place he had occupied hitherto and the dignity pertaining to him.

Some children are also girls. Â And this is such rubbish. Â A vast, overwhelming majority of births result in the love of one and sometimes two parents. Â Without question, because of our nature, we protect and care for our offspring. Â We do. Â We would do anything to protect them, to suggest otherwise is to miss the point of evolution. Â We are ‘made’ to breed, to continue the line of humanity. Â We are indeed driven by our innate desire to breed.

Bernheim shows that now, perforce, from being a subject of rights, the child has become an object to which people have a right and which they have a right to obtain. When the freedom to be creative becomes the freedom to create oneself, then necessarily the Maker himself is denied and ultimately man too is stripped of his dignity as a creature of God, as the image of God at the core of his being. The defence of the family is about man himself. And it becomes clear that when God is denied, human dignity also disappears. Whoever defends God is defending man.

Families don’t need defending. Â Families are what people make them out to be, not some pre-conceivedÂ notion derived from your insanity. Â People will continue to bring children into the world, we will continue to love and protect them, to nurture them. Â If your god is denied then so be it, perhaps finally it will be relegated to the pile of useless humanÂ endeavours, and in true papal authority we are told that defending god is defending man, not woman, but man.

For us to survive, we need to ditch the god rubbish. Â It’s had it’s day and it’s holding us back. Â Having ageing virgins, who live only in communities surrounded by other virgin men isn’t at all healthy.

If anyone is denying their true humanity, it’s that lot.

Bendydick goes on to talk about interfaithÂ dialogue, I’m going to have a go at that one in my next blog.

The Pope Blames the Gays for Everything!

That great mind of the 12th century, Pope Bendydick, has taken the chance on World Day of Peace to further vilify and harass gay people.

There is also a need to acknowledge and promote the natural structure of marriage as the union of a man and a woman in the face of attempts to make it juridically equivalent to radically different types of union

There is Â nothing natural about marriage, it’s a artificial system. Â Get your head out of your arse.

Such attempts actually harm and help to destabilize marriage, obscuring its specific nature and its indispensable role in society.

That’s just stupid. Â Marriage isn’t going away, people still get married, still raise children (regardless of marital status) and still contribute in society. Â Allowing gay people to get married won’t change that at all.

These principles are not truths of faith, nor are they simply a corollary of the right to religious freedom.

They’re not principles, they’re doctrine. Â They have nothing to do with reality. Â You are basing these truths of yours on a myth and a fairy tale.

They are inscribed in human nature itself, accessible to reason and thus common to all humanity.

You talk about reason? Â And here you are worshipping a jewish boy you think was born of a virgin, you think he’s still alive after 2,000 years and you regularly eat his body and drink his blood and you want to talk about reason? Â Pardon me while I barf.

The Church’s efforts to promote them are not therefore confessional in character, but addressed to all people, whatever their religious affiliation.

All people who aren’t catholic, and I suspect a lot of people who are catholic, think you’re a silly old fart out of touch with reality that probably really does think he is god’s representative on earth. Â Catholic’s and you as their head, have no claim or right to inflict your pathetic religion onto the rest of the world.

Efforts of this kind are all the more necessary the more these principles are denied or misunderstood, since this constitutes an offence against the truth of the human person, with serious harm to justice and peace

What would you know about the truth of the human person? Â You that presides over an organisation that allows children to be abused, people to die of HIV/AIDS, women to die because abortion is frowned upon, homophobic politicians wanting to kill gay people are blessed .

You have the audacity to talk about harming justice and peace.

Your view of the world is perverted and twisted.

The pope is a cunt.

Lively wants to Kill the Gays and the Pope Approves

Scott Lively is one of those backward christians who really thinks that a god has come to him and saved him. Â He’s also one of the christians responsible for going to Uganda in 2009 and ‘inspiring’ the “Kill the Gays Bill”.

Through international opposition the UgandaÂ ParliamentÂ have not enacted the legislation. Â They did supposedly change their minds and remove the parts of the bill that would see gay people executed for being gay. Â However, the updated act would still see gay people locked up for life. Â Just for being gay.

It’s a completely unjustifiable penalty. Â Locking someone up because of their sexuality. Â And yet people such as Lively think it’s a good idea.

First, the Bible has always defined homosexuality as a crime, and not just in the Mosaic Law.Â Homosexuality was condemned by God long before Moses declared it a capital crime.

This is such a tired old claim. Â I reject outright any notion that the bible has any authority over my life. Â How offensive it is to use an old jumble of texts to justify your own hatred and bigotry.

Lively goes on to say:

The fact is that Ugandan law is typical of most African law in that it tends to be very harsh in the letter, but very lenient in the application.Â I doubt very much that anyone arrested under the new law (if it passes) will receive anything close to the jail terms allowed for in the bill.

Regardless of whether someone is locked up, having a law on the books that requires imprisonment for life for something between consenting adults is unjustifiable. Even if the jail sentence is one day or even a minute. Nobody should be detained or have the threat of life in prison simply for being gay.

Third, and most importantly, there is one easy, guaranteed method of protecting oneself from ever being subject to the Anti-Homosexuality law in Uganda: Donâ€™t Commit Sodomy!

By sodomy he means don’t have anal sex. Â I don’t see why I should stop with the Love Llama – we have such a good time. Â I’m not committing anything. Â I’m sharing.

Â We all seem to forget, in the dense propaganda haze of American popular opinion, that homosexuality is defined by voluntary sexual acts.

Yes, if it wasn’t voluntary on both parts we’d call it rape you dickwad. All sexual acts are voluntary, it’s really not a big deal. Â However, for ways of expressing and sharing my love I voluntarily partake in sex acts with my Love Llama who just happens to be of the same-sex. Â We love it. Â Why should we stop?

Homosexuals are no more compelled to commit sodomy with each other than a married man is compelled to cheat on his wife.

Sexual relief is a natural bodily function. Â I seek out said relief in many ways. Â Nobody is ‘compelled’ to have sex at all. Â We do it because it feels good. Â Lively is not being asked to partake in something that he doesn’t like, nor are the people of Uganda.

While Lively is rolling around in his own little smug part of the world happy to endorse a bill that will cause great harm to his fellow humans, meanwhile, that other big religious homophobe in Rome has been busy too.

It seems that Pope Bendydick has blessed the speaker of the Uganda Parliamentt. Â This is the same Ugandan who promised to pass the kill the gays bill as a christmas present for the people. Â How charming. Â Now the locking up of gay people is seen as a gift.

We can only see that as tactic approval by Bendydick that theÂ UgandansÂ have it right in the eyes of the catholics. Â Kill all the gays!

She handed over to the Pope a portrait of the Uganda Martyrs Shrine Namugongo, a historical place where Christians were murdered because of their allegiance to their faith.

Let me get this right… In Uganda people have been killed because they were christian. Â Faith is something that can be changed, easily. Â And yet, somehow, it’s ok to kill gay people because of who they are. Â Will there be a shrine for those people?
