prayer – Bruce Llama http://www.brucellama.com That's one crazy Llama Mon, 04 Jan 2016 02:22:31 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.5.4 Pray for all powerful peace http://www.brucellama.com/2014/06/12/pray-for-all-powerful-peace/ http://www.brucellama.com/2014/06/12/pray-for-all-powerful-peace/#comments Thu, 12 Jun 2014 04:44:09 +0000 http://www.brucellama.com/?p=3543 [SOURCE]

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?

Lyle says Thy Will Be Done – just like he wants http://www.brucellama.com/2014/02/20/lyle-says-thy-will-be-done-just-like-he-wants/ http://www.brucellama.com/2014/02/20/lyle-says-thy-will-be-done-just-like-he-wants/#comments Thu, 20 Feb 2014 11:58:14 +0000 http://www.brucellama.com/?p=3522 [SOURCE]

the-lords-prayer

Over at the ACL our new bestest mate Straight Lyle is banging on about the lords prayer being said in Parliament.  The Greens are trying to get rid of the prayer.  He thinks it should stay, no surprises there, and there’s no surprises in what I think either.

Since 1901, the prayer has been recited at the start of each sitting day in the senate and house of representatives by the president and speaker respectively.

So?  In 1901 we hanged people, we thought the indigenous people  needed to be eradicated and women couldn’t vote.  My, how times have changed.

Australia did not become what it is in a vacuum. Christianity had a profound impact on the development of western institutions, including parliament.

Religion has abused its position in  Australia.  It was trusted with our most vulnerable children and it abused them.  How’s that for a profound fucking impact.

While not everyone in Australia is Christian (although more than 60 per cent tell the census they are), nothing changes the fact that Christianity made a significant contribution to making Australia what it is today.

That means that almost 40% of Australians are not christian.  Of the 60% that you’re claiming Straight Lyle, how many do you think wake up every morning and say the lords prayer.  Apart from you.  I’d say about 3 or 4 people.  Claiming that 60% of Australia has the same understanding of christianity as you is a load of shit mate.

It is a simple fact that Christianity is part of our cultural heritage in a way that other religions are not. That is no disrespect to them. The ethics and ideas of other religions simply did not have the same impact on the formation of western values and the Australian nation.

In the early years of white settlement the Irish hated the catholics and spent their time killing each other.  Great ethics

As the pre-European peoples of this land, indigenous people, are of course a huge part of our cultural heritage. Recognition of their cultural heritage is also acknowledged in parliament each day and that is fair enough. The Greens have not sought to remove this.

I don’t know about the phrase “pre-European peoples of this land” where the fuck did that come from.  Did it occur to you Straight Lyle that the reason we recognise the first Australians culture is because we murdered them?  We took their culture and utterly destroyed it.  We stole their children.  The acknowledgement of the land we meet on is way more important than some white bloke muttering a religious prayer.

Most of us would condemn the cutting down of a 113 year old tree, but when it comes to our cultural heritage the Greens are happy to fell any vestiges of the values of our past.

How wrong you are.  Most of us don’t give a shit.  If we did we’d still have lots of bushland and would prevent more logging.  Which tree did you fall out of?

There is a clash of ideas and values occurring in our political discourse. That’s fine, that’s healthy, that’s democracy.

Suggesting that someone’s faith has no place in the workplace, as Senator Di Natale did, is anti-democratic. Why are Di Natale’s views superior?

A clash now is it?  Part of democracy is being elected and putting forward ideas.  Once you get elected you then get to put forward ideas and everyone gets a vote.  That’s democracy.  Here we have a Senator using democracy to push forward an idea, and in true democratic fashion it was defeated.  On what basis do you think he is anti-democratic.

Whether people believe in God or not, the ideas of the teacher Jesus embodied in the Lord’s Prayer are worth reflecting on.

If you don’t believe in god you’re not likely to give the lord’s prayer a second thought.  But let me give it a second thought for you.  It’s shit.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Seriously, this is the start of a prayer?  Telling this god fella that his name is holy and where he lives?

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

The kingdom isn’t coming, and if the same will is happening in heaven then heaven is pretty fucked up too.

Give us this day our daily bread.

Certainly this works, there are no hungry people in the world because all the christians pray every day for bread.

and forgive us our trespasses

Yeah, MPs need to get on their knees and pray for forgiveness because they’re really gonna fuck everyone over.

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

Unless there is some sort of punishment we can enact and lock them up.

and lead us not into temptation.

What?  Why the fuck would god lead us into temptation.  Oh wait, he put that tree in the garden and Adam and Eve got tempted.  What a prick.

but deliver us from evil

Well that’s not working, so much evil, just look at what we do to asylum seekers.

For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory for ever and ever.

Australia is a sovereign nation, I know this because the government has a program called sovereign borders.  So the power and the glory really seems to sit with whoever calls herself Prime Minister.

Amen

Yeah, whatever.  The lords prayer is a crock of shit, it does nothing and means nothing.

The idea that humans are not the font of all power is especially worth meditating on. Especially in parliament.

We are the font of all power, we exercise that power at the ballot box.  All those christians prayed to get elected and they didn’t.  The power is with the people, not a pretend deity.

Meanwhile, the Greens have vowed to keep fighting to remove the prayer in the same way they are relentlessly campaigning to redefine marriage.

Oh yeah, don’t forget the gays.  Be sure to stick the boots in again, just to make your great christian point that the Greens have no right to attempt to change the system because they’re on the inside and you’re not.  They are entitled to keep fighting for what they believe.  Nothing wrong with that.

It is time to push back on their vision to deconstruct our civic and family life.

And yet, here they are elected.  So they are representing their view of the world based on the people that elected them.  Did you ever think you have the wrong idea about democracy?

They are a small political party but they have a big voice. Seasoned with grace, we should start to use our voice. Silence is no longer an option.

The ACL is a small party of christian right-wing nut jobs who have no political clout.  They’re just pretending.  Your voice, Straight Lyle is anything but silent.  You and your ACL have been bellowing for years about insignificant matters instead of getting out there and helping real people.  Instead you use your money to fund political fights against duly elected representatives.   That sounds pretty un-democratic to me.

Nalliah calls for Rain Dance to douse Bushfires http://www.brucellama.com/2013/10/22/nalliah-calls-for-rain-dance-to-douse-bushfires/ http://www.brucellama.com/2013/10/22/nalliah-calls-for-rain-dance-to-douse-bushfires/#comments Tue, 22 Oct 2013 02:10:01 +0000 http://www.brucellama.com/?p=3463 [SOURCE]

Bushfires are raging in New South Wales, but the weather may be about to change.

Which is good news.

Our defeated Senator candidate, Pasta Danny had a dream!

I told him that I would pray through the night and if God gave me a clear word, I would come there to pray. In the early hours of this morning, I had two dreams. In the 1st dream I was with this Pastor friend and a few others on our knees in an open park in the Blue Mountains very close to the bushfires, praying and crying unto the Lord to send the appropriate winds and rains to stop the bushfires. Moments later, I had a 2nd dream in which I saw a news reporter on the 4:30pm news broadcast stating, ‘Sudden weather change brings hope to put the bushfires out.’”

Woo hoo – a prediction!

He goes on to say:

In response, we at CTFM have called an urgent prayer meeting which Pr Daniel will be personally leading from 3-4pm today Tuesday 22nd October in the Blue Mountains at Glenbrook Park, Cnr Ross St & Park St, Glenbrook. Near tennis courts. Turn off Gt Westetn Hwy at Tourist Infirmation Centre / Caltex Service Station. (approximately 5-10 minutes’ drive from bushfires).

Pr Daniel stated, “I believe that as the people of God unite this afternoon from 3-4pm to repent and pray as in 2 Chronicles 7:13-14, there will be a positive change in the weather in the next 24 hours with the appropriate winds and rains to stop the bushfires, despite the weather bureau’s current predictions.”

So rather than stay away from a dangerous area he is actually inviting people to drive into a bushfire area to pray for rain.

I thought the belief was that god was everywhere – is the prayer somehow more magical when you’re in danger of being burned alive?

So, urgent call, get there before it starts pouring down!

I hope the authorities charge him with being a public nuisance and run him out of the state.

Stupid fuck wit.

Sacerdotus imparts his godly wisdom on the Lame http://www.brucellama.com/2013/01/03/sacerdotus-imparts-his-godly-wisdom-on-the-lame/ http://www.brucellama.com/2013/01/03/sacerdotus-imparts-his-godly-wisdom-on-the-lame/#comments Thu, 03 Jan 2013 10:04:52 +0000 http://www.brucellama.com/?p=3236 Sacerdotus has been the subject of a couple of my recent blogs.  He’s decided to answer me on his blog.  He’s done what I do, pulls apart my words sentence by sentence.  So, I’ve grabbed a couple of his sentences and done the same thing.  If you want to get the jist of his answers, you can find the full blog here.  And I haven’t answered every point that he’s made.  I’m sure if Sacerdotus thinks I’ve missed something important he’ll let me know.

We are all part of the same species and originated from the first human beings to walk the Earth.  You dismiss God without basis and you argue from assertion. We need more than that in order to take your position as valid.

I don’t need more than that.  There is no god.  If there is then show me.  You can’t, and it’s a pointless argument.  You’ve got plenty of others to argue that point with, I’m not interested in your god at all.  Whether or not you want to take my position as valid is entirely up to you.  You can, and will, believe whatever you like.

Speaking the truth does not make one a bigot.  It is not news that all civilizations, old and recent, have had some sort of a death penalty.

You don’t speak the truth.  You accept the gospel and the magisterium of the catholic church as truth.  Both are flawed human endeavours.  You hide behind your church and use that to pretend you’re a step removed from your bigotry.  You’re not.  You have a choice, use it.

The Catholic Church has earn its right to be a dominant relevant voice on Earth.  We are the largest and oldest social structure in modern times.  We have outlived every empire that are now gone.

So?  The catholic church has no right, it is governed by a bunch of old men that elect themselves.  In a modern society it is antiquated and out of touch.  It doesn’t matter how old it is.  The only reason that it is here is because it created its own power base by accumulating property and devotion from a gullible people.  We’re not in Kansas any more Dorothy.  It’s time to pack it up, sell it off.

The governments of today have modeled their laws after our beliefs, philosophies and understanding of the natural law.  We have provided modern science to the world, the school and hospital system as well.

Oh please. The laws the church pretends to have supplied were well in existence before you lot rooted your first goat.  In fact, the law has to be designed to limit the control of the church.  And while the church does a great deal of good in the world, it does so because it thinks that’s what some imaginary deity wants.  The reality is that those schools and hospitals are full of normal people who think most of the churches teachings are bollocks.

That being said:  The Catholic Church can never be silent when a minority subculture is attempting to distort reality.  You are a fool if you think the Church will let an idea that just appeared this morning to take down thousands of years of knowledge, wisdom and common sense.

The church is a minority.  Most people in the world don’t agree with you.  Most Australians are not catholics.  The only reason the church opposes things is because it’s a threat to its authority or livelihood.  You’re a fool if you think otherwise.

Sin is a real thing.  Look around you.

Sin is not real, it’s an invention created by religious nutters.  It’s a perceived wrong done against a deity.  There are no gods, therefore no sin.

Why do people do evil?

Because.  They do.  You’re god is very limited if he can’t even get that right.

Why be an addict?  Do you want to be the sum of an act?  Do you want to be defined by where you insert your penis, or do you want to define yourself by your character, knowledge and contribution to society?   The choice is yours.  I don’t think human beings exist to penetrate each other to one’s own content.  There is more to life than that.

I’m human.  I enjoy inserting my penis.  I also have a job, community involvement, deal with 100’s of people every week.  Sex is only a small part of my life, a nice part.  It’s only you religious types that think because we’re gay we only ever think about sex.

God is extremely merciful.  You’d be surprised at the many gay people who accept God at the last breath and make it.

Oh please, that’s such a silly line.  You’d be surprised at how many catholics accept there is no god at their last breath.

Well every time I see something about the LGBT community, it is always sexual.  Black and Hispanic history months demonstrate each respective ethnicity’s contribution to society.  Its famous individuals, its intellectuals and the like.

Then you should get out and look more.  Every year here in Melbourne we have a Pride March and most of the people who march are fully clothed showing their support.  Support organisations,  police, bands, schools, pubs and clubs, hair dressers are all represented.  And yes, Dikes on Bikes, the gay Football team are mostly unclad people.  But that’s not sexual, that’s just people with little on.

Gay pride month? Well…. disgusting sexual manifestations on city streets.  Sex is portrayed, even in front of children.

Sex is everywhere.  You heteros are forever putting in in TV shows, ads, billboards, magazines.  It’s not disgusting at all.  It’s part of being human.  You seem to be hung up about it.

 People are people. They have dignity.  They are not objects of gratification for others.  Why do you think so many LGBT opt out of life?  Your lifestyle is killing them!

You’ll be pleased to know that sex between a man and a woman is about gratification.  And it’s about love.  You’ll then understand that sex between two men is also about gratification and it’s about love.  Just like straight people hook up for a one night stand, so too do gay people.  It’s the way it’s always been and no amount of you crying about gratification will escape the fact that there is more bodily fluids exchanged between people that doesn’t result in birth than does.  There is more sex for gratification for both parties than for love.  There just is.  It’s what animals do.  It’s what humans do.  We just got it right, we don’t have to procreate just because we have sex.  Being gay is a bonus.

Perhaps the reason LGBT people opt out of life is because they are persecuted by catholics with a narrow view of the world.  Being gay is not a lifestyle.  Sitting on the beach in a luxury resort is a lifestyle.

Please show me an event where gay authors, poets, philosophers, scientists etc speak to the people and encourage them.  Please show me a LGBT event that is void of strippers, men dressed in silly costumes, young teens in underwear, old obese men in leather.  Please show me something other than this circus.

Seriously?  Get out more.

If that is true then why did my post get your attention?  If you are so set in your life, then you would have just turned a blind eye to my post.

It’s a hobby.

Do you approach women to flirt?  I am assuming that you don’t because they are not worth your time.

Why do you assume that?  I work with some wonderful women.  Yes, we interact, and yes we flirt.  Women are an important part of the world.  Catholics treat them like dirt.

So why pay attention to my blog and the Catholic Church’s views on homosexuality?

There was nothing good on the telly.

Obviously, my prayer to reach others did work for me. 🙂

I guess from the smiley face that you make a joke.  Prayer just keeps you busy.  You should pray more.

All human beings, Christian, non Christian, homo or hetero are called to something higher.

No they’re not.  There is nothing higher.  You get one life, that’s it.  When you die it’s all over.  Stop wasting your time on religion and do something useful with your life.

 We are not the sum of our sexuality or of what pleasures us.  When you realize this you will be free and know true joy.

I already realise that.  I am free, and I have true joy.  I’m also bound by the society in which I live, I work hard, I play hard and I love life.  That’s the way it should be.  People get on in the world because they know and understand the value of those around them.

It’s a pity that you won’t open your eyes to the true wonder of the world, leave the medieval religion behind and embrace humanity for what it is.  A moment in universal time.  A very brief moment, and one that you have been lucky enough to participate in.

Stop wasting that briefest of moments.

Jesus Heals Cancer http://www.brucellama.com/2012/03/04/jesus-heals-cancer/ http://www.brucellama.com/2012/03/04/jesus-heals-cancer/#comments Sun, 04 Mar 2012 02:28:16 +0000 http://www.brucellama.com/?p=2581

Really?

How silly it is to make such a grand claim, while at the same time telling those with cancer that they should continue with their treatment provided by medical services.

So, on one hand, you can have the nutters at the Equippers Church in Napier, New Zealand tell you that jesus will cure you, but you still have to get the standard treatment.

Senior Pastor Lyle Penisular seems to really believe this rubbish, which isn’t unsurprising as he’s not only put it on a billboard attached to the side of his church, he’s also taken to putting up a count of those that have been cured by jesus.  He seems to think it’s ok.

They have a “healing service” which is described as this on their website:

We believe in a God that heals every disease. In this service we will be administing God’s healing grace. If you are sick we have been praying for you. Come and let us stand with you in faith for God’s power to be outworked in your life.

Well I’ll be a bowl of dead flying kiwi chips, everyone in the world should be heading there right now so that they can be ‘outworked’.

How deluded.

The True Meaning of Christmas http://www.brucellama.com/2011/12/26/the-true-meaning-of-christmas/ Sun, 25 Dec 2011 23:46:31 +0000 http://www.brucellama.com/?p=2495 [SOURCE]

Let us ask the Lord to help us see through the superficial glitter of this season, and to discover behind it the child in the stable in Bethlehem, so as to find true joy and true light.

So says the Supreme Pontiff (which sounds vaguely like some sort of pizza) as he sat there resplendent with his gold encrusted staff and sparkly vestments with their glittering stuff.  The old man has the gall to sit up on a stage and tell the rest of the world to look through the ‘superficial glitter’. He then goes on to say:

And let us also pray especially at this hour for all who have to celebrate Christmas in poverty, in suffering, as migrants, that a ray of God’s kindness may shine upon them, that they – and we – may be touched by the kindness that God chose to bring into the world through the birth of his Son in a stable. Amen.

He’s praying for the poor people.   He wants us to pray for those ‘who have to celebrate Christmas in poverty’.  The man has enough gold around him to feed the whole of the starving people in Africa and he wants to pray especially for them?  He wants God’s kindness to shine upon them.   He wants that kindness to touch them.  He sits surround by thousands of years of history, with immense wealth and the best he can do to alleviate the poverty in the world is ‘pray especially’.  The poor people would be happy with a bit of rice you arsehole.  They don’t want to be touched by the kindness of god, fuck the baby in the stable.  Give them some food.

At this time of the year, I say to you, as I have said many times, you can either pray or do something useful.

Christians unite in prayer for countries affected by climate change http://www.brucellama.com/2011/11/08/christians-unite-in-prayer-for-countries-affected-by-climate-change/ Mon, 07 Nov 2011 22:39:43 +0000 http://www.brucellama.com/?p=2326 [SOURCE]

What?  Say that again:

Christians unite in prayer for countries affected by climate change

That’s what I thought you said.

Christians around the world have joined in prayer on Sunday for poor countries that are already experiencing the negative effect of climate change.

For over 2000 years christians have prayed for world peace, look how effective that’s been.   This is sure to work!

Around 50 countries, including Australia, signed up to take part in Hope for Creation.

50 countries – that sounds impressive.  World wide?  50 whole countries.  Wait… how many churches in each country?  I bet you don’t want to say.

Participating churches devote a section of their services to climate change.

They devote what?  A section of their service – how does that even work in a useful way?  Perhaps they have the kiddies do an interpretive dance.

Organisers Tearfund said there was an “urgent” need for action on climate change

Tearfund?  Are you serious?  They must be because they use quotes around urgent.

Yes, urgent need for action.  Urgent Action No. 1 – stop consuming.

and that the impact of erratic weather patterns was already having a “devastating” impact on impoverished communities and their livelihoods.

“devastating”, made more devastating with the use of quotes.  Brilliant!  Look how serious they are!

Ben Niblett, Tearfund’s Head of Campaigns, said: “We need world leaders to take ambitious and fair action to tackle climate change and provide the finance needed to help poor people adapt and develop sustainably.

Actually, Ben Nibble-it what we need is for everyone to take ambitious actions, no use relying on the leaders.  You can start by getting off your knees and helping with some money, reducing your carbon foot print and ensuring that all people in the world have access to a decent income.

“Hope for Creation combines the power of prayer, the passion for social justice and the determination to speak out, and demonstrates to the world that the church has a strong and united voice to bring to development issues.”

I’d like someone to define “power of prayer” for me.  A strong voice?  By praying?  Yeah, that’ll show the world how passionate you are for social justice.

The day of prayer comes ahead of UN climate talks in Durban at the end of the month.

Lots of things come ahead of those talks – so?

Tearfund is urging world leaders to be ambitious and secure an agreement on funding to help developing countries mitigate against the impact of climate change.

The only people needing to mitigate against the impact of climate change are the rich consumers in the western world.

Mr Niblett said: “Progress on agreeing a fair climate deal for poor communities has been painfully slow.

Well yes, that’s because you’re not doing anything useful.  At all.

On November 6 we will be praying with thousands of others that the process will pick up pace.

Thousands in the 50 countries, god is bound to prick up his ears on that.

We’re asking for Christians everywhere to join us by praying and speaking up for justice for our global neighbours and for action to protect God’s creation.

Yeah, god clearly needs a nudge to protect his creation, he’s so inattentive.  Praying is about as useful as trying to blow away CO2 .   Deep breaths everyone. purse those lips.. and exhale.

I’m staggered at the arrogance of christians.  Calling for pray to sort out climate change is such a weak cop-out and gives the false impression that christains actually give a toss and makes those on their knees think they are actually achieving something.

What a sad deluded world they live in.

How God Saves the Day http://www.brucellama.com/2011/08/26/how-god-saves-the-day/ Fri, 26 Aug 2011 01:51:13 +0000 http://www.brucellama.com/?p=2213 [SOURCE]

Young man, Daniel Jang, was driving home one wet dark night when he took a corner too quickly, his car spun around and ended up on the footpath.  Luckily for him, his seat belt held him in place and good road construction prevented him from flying over the edge of a bridge.

Sliding momentum brought the right back wheel to smash the kerb. The impact was so severe that the right wheel bent inward, the whole back axle shifted toward the left and the entire body of the car to move up onto the raised footpath. Remarkably, I found myself, inside the car with the seatbelt firmly fastened, and it happened in the blink of an eye. The car on the footpath…. The fence behind my car absorbed the momentum and helped stop the car in that exact position. I was terrified when I got of the car and saw what was behind the fence. There was a cliff and the rail track underneath! The very ‘positioning’ of my car after this incident was in itself, in my view a miracle. I just had to give thanks to God for His protection. It could have been far worse.

So, we have seat belt laws, thank the foresight of the Victorian Government for mandating that in 1970,1 road traffic authorities have knowledge about their roads and are clever enough to put barriers where people are likely to fall off the road, you know, on bridges where there’s a train line underneath2.  They construct these barriers to make sure they minimise damage to people and property, so why would you be surprised when they do their job of stopping the car before it fell off the cliff and on to a railway line.

So, on both counts you can’t thank your god for any of this.  It took years and years of thinking for people to come up with ways to minimise damage caused by road traffic accidents.  Seat belts and road barriers are something your god should have provided before allowing his people to go hurling around in cars at 100 km/h or faster.  You could start by thanking the engineers who no doubt solved these matters by trial and error, not by prayer.

But, it gets worse.  God had another magic trick for tonight.  It seems this christian boy who was going too fast in his car because god hadn’t told him to slow the fuck down, had a bible in the boot.  What a surprise.  When a friend came to help him and opened the boot to get the tyre lever he found the book.

Surprisingly, he uncovered two books hidden under the tyre. One was a Good News Bible, and believe or not, the title of the other book was, “There’s A God in Heaven”!

Yeah, what a surprise.  I wonder how those books got there… in a hidden place.

I suspected Ken is possibly not a Christian and definitely not a regular church-goer. He said, “Wow, God has saved your life today. See? There is a God in heaven!” After we replaced the tyre, Ken said, “All done! I think I believe there is God in heaven. Thank you Father in heaven!”

All I can think  of is a deeply sarcastic voice saying that shit.

I can do nothing but laugh at this sort of rubbish.  Such delusion surely must hurt his brain.

  2. Check out the history of the Jersey Barrier, a lot of thought went into that

Rhode Island takes a step – Catholic Bish is pissed http://www.brucellama.com/2011/07/06/rhode-island-takes-a-step-catholic-bish-is-pissed/ http://www.brucellama.com/2011/07/06/rhode-island-takes-a-step-catholic-bish-is-pissed/#comments Wed, 06 Jul 2011 04:56:59 +0000 http://www.brucellama.com/?p=2142 [SOURCE]

We’ve all heard about the news that New York State has finally seen the light and permitted marriage equality in their state, well just a bit further north and over to the right a bit, the state of Rhode Island has allowed civil unions.

The church is so up in arms!  The local bishop, Tobin, (and no, you can’t tell someone’s sexuality just based on his name.  Bruce is no more gay than Tobin) has issued a statement:

Statement of Bishop Tobin on the Approval of Civil Unions in Rhode Island
6/30/11

(PROVIDENCE, R.I.)-The Most Rev. Thomas J. Tobin, Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence, today released the following statement relative to the passage of legislation approving civil unions in Rhode Island.

Just to make sure you get that, he is the MOST REVEREND, oh, he’s last name is Tobin, I thought it was his first name.  Oh well, it’s still gay!

“I am deeply disappointed that Rhode Island will establish civil unions in our state.

I’m sorry to hear that you think anything that may make life more equal is deeply disappointing.

The concept of civil unions is a social experiment that promotes an immoral lifestyle,

More immoral than kiddie fucking priests that your church covers up?  Who are you to lecture anyone on morality.  Your church continues to allow people to live in poverty and die from AIDS because your stance doesn’t allow for birth control or use of condoms.

is a mockery of the institution of marriage as designed by God,

Marriage is designed by man, there is no god, you made that up.

undermines the well-being of our families, and poses a threat to religious liberty.

How does two guys getting hitched effect someone else’s family.  And what do you mean “our families” you don’t have children!  Nobody is asking you to grant civil unions, it has nothing do to with you.

In this context it is my obligation to remind Catholics of the teachings of the Church on this matter.

That’s right, it’s your obligation to tell catholics, remember that.  Not the rest of the world.

First, the Church continues to have respect and love for persons with same-sex attraction;

No you don’t you think they are gravely disordered and bound for hell.  Your holy book says a person who is gay is an abomination and should be put to death.

they are indeed children of God and our brothers and sisters in the human family.

I’m not the child of any fucked up god that created me and then wants me dead.  Fuckwit.

We pray for their well-being and offer them spiritual guidance and pastoral care.

As always, you can either pray or do something useful with your time.

We also extend our love and support to families of homosexual persons who sometimes struggle with this difficult emotional issue.

Perhaps they struggle with the whole notion because the underlying message you have for the families is that their child is a sinner and is going to burn in hell forever because they enjoy dick.  (Or muff)

At the same time, the Church reminds its members that homosexual activity is contrary to the natural law

Says who?  What’s unnatural is digging up metal out of the ground, shaping it into gold crosses and drapping them around your neck.  When did you become the scientific expert on what’s natural?

and the will of God and, therefore, is objectively sinful.

But there isn’t a god to have a will and sin is something you use to hit your followers over the head with.

Persons with same-sex attraction are required to live the Christian virtues of chastity and modesty, as all persons are.

Fuck off, you aren’t in a position to require anything of me.  I spit on your so called christian virtues that also allow you to live in a palace while people starve.

The importance of these virtues is clearly established in the Holy Scriptures and in the constant tradition of the Church.

Oh yeah, well that makes it all right.  A book written by goat herders, interpreted by virgins with no real life experience and imposed on their followers, makes sense.

Because civil unions promote an unacceptable lifestyle,

Nobody is asking you to do something that is unacceptable to you.

undermine the faith of the Church on holy matrimony,

Nobody is asking any of your followers to undertake a civil union, therefore it’s not really undermining anything at all is it?

and cause scandal and confusion,

Yep, the catholics know all about scandal and confusion.

Catholics may not participate in civil unions.

Last time I checked you can do whatever you want.  At this point, if you’re catholic, I’d be renouncing it.

To do so is a very grave violation of the moral law and, thus, seriously sinful.

That is the modern way of saying “You’re going to burn in hell motherfucker”

A civil union can never be accepted as a legitimate alternative to matrimony.

Yeah it can.  Get with it bish.

Can there be any doubt that Almighty God will, in His own time and way, pass judgment upon our state, its leaders and citizens, for abandoning His commands and embracing public immorality?

I have no doubt.  There is no god, there  is no judgement.  Again you’re trying to tell people they’ll burn in hell.  What a cunty attitude to have.

I encourage Catholics to pray for God’s patience, mercy and forgiveness in these distressing times.”

I encourage catholics to toss this wanker out of his palace, sell it and all his trappings and do something useful

Prayer Warriors and Demons – CTFM http://www.brucellama.com/2011/05/21/prayer-warriors-and-demons-ctfm/ Sat, 21 May 2011 01:09:00 +0000 http://www.brucellama.com/?p=2048 [SOURCE]

Pasta Daniel Nalliah at Catch The Fire Ministries1has been saving people for jesus!

I am sure you will remember some time ago we shared the testimony of a young woman who came to CTFM with an evil assignment from the satanic cult in Australia, but the Lord Jesus Christ touched her and she was born-again!

Praise allah!  Can’t you get locked up for touching young women?  Did she have the evil assignment on her iPad or in a sealed envelope perhaps?  But don’t worry, we won’t expect too much information, your word is good enough for the likes of us!

This young lady was very badly burned the first time we saw her. On many occasions she has come to us for help with severe physical injuries, including stab wounds, torture, burns, etc. On 2 occasions I contacted the police because her injuries were so severe. Once the police came to CTFM and on another occasion I personally went to the police station with Jason.  However, I was very surprised to see the way they reacted with no real interest at all.

Police are uninterested in stab wounds, torture, burns and etc?  Really?  Must be some information missing here Danny poo, but don’t let that get in the way of a good story.  Later on in the story you tell us she’s into self harm… you think that’s why the police aren’t interested?  Perhaps they suggested to you that she needs some support from a mental health professional, but no, that wouldn’t fit in with all those demons would it.

We continued to minister the love, truth, and power of Jesus

I can’t believe you actually said truth and jesus in the same sentence, they don’t go together at all.  Best to call on jesus rather than getting someone who knows what they’re doing, like a doctor.

to her over the past one year or more and have cast hundreds of demonic spirits out of this young woman. I have cast out many demons out of many people in many countries, but I must say that I have never seen anyone so demon possessed.

Hundreds of demonic spirits, wow, that’s really impressive.  I’m surprised it hasn’t been on the telly.  No doubt it’s because of her satanic up bringing.  I’m not sure who has the bigger delusion, you because you can make some poor girl wail on a stage, or the girl for thinking you actually ‘cast out’ demons.  How do you know how many?  Perhaps they come out in a puff of black smoke, just like they do on the TV.

Simultaneously, the satanic cult and their demonic hordes continued to attack her which has caused much harm to her.

Oh yes, hordes of demons sent by a cult to attack another cult.  It’s war out there!  Best gather the prayer warriors!  Quick, on your knees, bitches.

I personally received several threats from the cult, which I took to the police. The police responded that they cannot accept my complaint, but would take necessary action if anything happened to me, which I thought was interesting and very strange.

The police are powerless against hordes of demons no doubt, or they’re actually grounded in the real world and understand you’re a complete nutter.

This young woman has been demonically programmed into many personalities, and when one of those demonic personalities is operating, she does not know anything she is doing.

Did you seek appropriate medical advice for her, did you consider dissociative identity disorder? Oh no, you wouldn’t because you clearly know it’s demons and you can cast them out with magic words!

Thus on many occasions, I believe she has harmed herself, but sincerely believes that there are other people from the cult doing it.

So now she’s doing the self harm, but you want to believe it’s also other people. Based on some sort of evidence no doubt.  Oh yes, they’re satanic, want more evidence would you need!  Have you ever looked at someone and thought that they need serious help for their mental stability?  No, you think that you can save them with magic words, a wave of your hands and hugs.

One thing for sure is that there are some very evil people out there who are possessed with demonic spirits who head up the satanic cult and are able to prey on innocent victims, programme them and get their dirty work done.

One thing for sure is that there are some very evil christian people out there who are possessed with delusions who head up the christian cult and are able to prey on innocent victims, programme them and get their dirty work done.

Recently 2 police officers came looking for this young woman at our Sunday night worship service. I met them at the reception along with this young woman. They told her in front of me that her 11 year old half brother was very badly injured and was at the Royal Children’s Hospital. According to this young woman, he died a few days later. She believes he was badly tortured by the satanic cult.

You do know that the police actually investigate that stuff.  Oh, no doubt they’re part of the minions of satan that have been programmed to get his dirty work done.

A few months ago a member of the satanic cult brought a court case against me and tried to get a restraining order against me, so that I cannot minister to this young woman. It was very interesting as I had to appear at the Frankston Magistrate Court.

So, the court will listen to the satanic cult, but not you.

When the Judge read the documentation, he looked at the prosecuting lawyer and said that he was not interested in this case because Catch The Fire was doing a good job in helping this young woman…. He then closed the file and said that he will not issue a restraining order against me. We were so happy to see the way God moved…. Glory to God.

Woo hoo!  The judge was on your side.  No doubt the satanic cult are cursing jesus!  Or the judge knew they didn’t have a leg to stand on and it had nothing to do with you.

I thank God that we did not give up but persisted with this young woman. We are now beginning to see a real breakthrough. In the past 3 weeks many more demonic spirits have left her, she has been coughing up a lot of blood as the evil spirits left her.

Many more demons and she’s coughing up blood.  She’s sounding really sick.  Have you been to the doctors yet? Coughing up blood is very serious.

Glory to God, yesterday Wednesday the 18th of May she was baptised in water at the CTFM base in Melbourne in the presence of around 50 prayer warriors who will continue to work with her until she has complete victory in our Lord Jesus Christ!  I thank God for a fantastic team of prayer warriors he has given me. They are just absolutely fantastic.

Yay!  Another convert. Another poor sick person who has mental, emotional and physical needs that have been completely ignored by this rabid cult, who think dipping you in water is more important than offering medical assistance.  Who thinks that there’s a war going on with demons and prayer warriors.   A pasta sauce who thinks his pathetic arsehole god, who loves all of his creation, but allows poor innocent girls to be infected with evil demons, gives him prayer warriors.  God gives prayer warriors to Pasta Dan.  What an arrogant arse.

When we first met this young woman, she could not carry on a conversation due to continually manifesting demons and would often try to run away.

When you say she tried to run away, do you mean that you prevented her from leaving?  You restrained her against her will?

However, yesterday she shared a brief testimony and thanked God for helping her to be free.

Jesus will solve everything!  Just as well she had you to keep her on the straight and narrow.  You’ve saved her soul!

She also gave high fives to many on the team and gave me a hug which she could not do before.

There’s a sign of jesus if I ever saw one, christians giving each other high fives.  And I hope she gave you a christian side hug, I’d hate for you to be getting hard holding the previous bride of satan in your arms.

Please pray for this young girl as we believe she will be a powerful witness for Jesus.

Yes, you’ve let her believe that you’ve cast out the demons, so she is now beholden to your cult.  She must now do your dirty work.

She is the granddaughter of Anton LaVey, the founder of the church of satan in the 1960’s in the US.

Spooky!

This girl had a satanic prophetic destiny to fulfil as they wanted her to lead the church of satan for the next generation,

You do realise that this is as concocted as your own stupid beliefs.  No jesus, no satan, stop wasting your life!

but glory to God that she will now fulfil the prophetic destiny of Jesus for the next generation in the Kingdom of God!

Oh and aren’t you the proud one.  God would be so stuck without your greatness.

We need to see more of the supernatural manifest presence of God.

That’d be good, let us know when your almighty god thingy does manifest.  Until then, you really should be held accountable for the vile process of using people with medical and mental health issues as justification for your imaginary friends in the sky.

Many Blessings,

Pr Daniel Nalliah

Oh to be as blessed as you Pasta Daniel Nalliah.  Cover me in your sauce, wet me with your holy water, give me a high five and cast out my demons.
