Termyn8or -> RE: God's Gays (10/4/2009 10:37:56 AM)

"Yeah. we GLBT folks have it soooo good. We usually get the shit kicked out of us in school while growing up."
Understood, but times are changing. However this does bring up a point relating to human psychology. People tend to fear what they do not understand, and to hate what they fear.
From what I've seen personally is that Gays have toughened up. Worked out, learned to fight. Why not ? What would anyone do who is picked on or harrassed in that manner ? And really, that is the best path, to get strong enough to withstand the attacks or even win the fight. Then their fagbasher (homophobe) buddies can pick on them - "You got beat up by a sissy boy, HA HA".
I've downloaded many things, among them old cartoons. Some of them are among the best I've ever seen, in entertainment value, but I noticed something. Remember Foghorn Leghorn ? The one where he seems to be trying to be a male influence on a chick, the egghead type. Does anyone remember that one ? In it Foghorn Leghorn says something like "Ewwww, there's something wrong with a boy that doesn't like baseball". Well I am not Gay but I guess I'll have to admit it, I hate baseball. I think it is a total waste of time and energy. Always have. Absolutely the most boring sport I have ever seen.
Now just what is 'wrong' with a boy that doesn't like baseball ?
This kinda burns me up on two levels. First of all who the fuck are you to judge me, especially based on my personal likes and dislikes which have very little effect if any on your life or your precious, decrepit, limited society ? What gives you the right ?
Of course there is a line drawn. Rapists, molesters and such DO have an impact, and such things are truly wrong. And I don't mean by standards of the Bible or the law. Or the Law. Speaking of which, the Bible doesn't say anything about the age at which sex is OK. In some societies it was perfectly normal for a 40 year old Man to take on a 13 year old Wife. The law says it's wrong. I agree, but for different reasons. I don't believe a Man can love a Woman the same way with that age discrepancy, as he would love a Woman who is more on par, more equal in life experience, and indeed more useful. I've been told that the Talmud mentions 6 years old, but I can't confirm that so don't take it to the bank. (I might have to stop using that saying in today's day and age) Really though, as mentioned when something goes through so many translations it's hard to be sure what the original text actually said.
Which is another point. Are we to base our lives on something that is so vague, self contradictory and illogical ? I read something years ago on that subject. The team of translators were working on something and one of them came across something, something which he said could be construed as Jesus was a mushroom, but a magic mushroom ala the ones people get high on. He was promptly dismissed, but made a good case. Now if you can get fired for being truthful just how accurate of an output do you expect ?
Further, most people do not even see the blatant evidence of tampering with the text, for some unknown reason. Probably half the Bibles out there have this evidence right on the front cover. Look at it, where it says "King James Version". Think about it, some guy named James, who became King, has decided to edit the Bible. Is he any closer to God than I ? Actually maybe he is, but still I don't think that gives him the right to do this. Never thought of it that way huh ?
So let's add this up for the moment and get our bearings straight.
They tell us we must believe.
We don't know what to believe.
They don't know what to believe.
If they believe many of them do not practice what they preach.
Are we straight on this or have I forgotten something ?
Well based on these beliefs that are largely undefined, they attack us. We who are different in any way. Well this is my attack back. I will not lay down and die just like that. These MFs have nothing to prove yet spend their entire lives trying to prove it. How can they be so obtuse ? (just watched Shawshank again last week).
There is more, so much more. It is not in the Bible, OK some of it is but much of it is in the works of Man and the Creator. Remember the saying that actions speak louder than words ? Focus on the actions. If the Judeo-Christian deity is true, why do so many suffer ? And I don't mean famine even, or any of that. I am talking about the way their book actually limits the development of their followers' minds.
If the one and only true God is our Father, think of His actions. Would you do that to your kids ?
