AIDS is Over.

Although they may not admit it many people, especially religious people, were afraid of AIDS.

They were afraid of sickness and death.

And this was the basis of social and religious objections to homosexuality.

It was moral panic.

But now that AIDS is virtually cured their objections are no longer valid.

Doctors can stop HIV from developing into AIDS and when treated HIV is undetectable which means that you cannot pass it on to your partner.

Also there is PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) which is a pill that can help prevent you catching HIV.

So gay sex is safe again.

But people's minds are stuck back in the 1980s.

  

They think that gay sex is deadly.

And this justifies their homophobia.

But these are now in the minority.

And it is up to us to educate them.

The new reality is that gay sex is no more dangerous than straight sex.

And so their homophobia is no longer justified.

Heaven and Hell.

The upshot of the moral panic triggered by the AIDS crisis was the claim that gays go to hell.

This was not a clearly thought-out response but a knee-jerk reaction inspired by fear.

Other forms of disease are not associated with sin.

If your wife gets breast cancer no one suggests that God is punishing her for being a woman.

If a man gets prostate cancer he is not being punished for being a man.

So why did people say that gays were being punished by God?

It seems to me that there is a double standard here.

As for hell I don't believe that God condemns people to hell in any case.

God is our Father.

And we are His gay sons and daughters.

God loves gays.

So there might just be a Heaven.

Fear or Love.

There are only two things in the world:

Fear and Love.

And there are two ways that we can react:

With Fear

Or

With Love.

And AIDS is the perfect example of this great truth.

We can react with Fear

Or

We can react with Love.

And the perfect example of this is a Fundamentalist who has a gay son.

When his love for his son is greater than his fear of sickness, death, immorality, and hell he will have learned the greatest truth in life.

And that is that God is Love.

And God loves His gay sons.

There is a God.

Some time ago, as I sat eating my lunch at a local restaurant, I overheard a young man dressed all in black saying: 

"What's all the fuss about the fire at Notre Dame its only a building dedicated to someone who doesn't exist."

This is an example of popular atheism.

 

A mentality fed by Satanists in rock music and comedy in particular.

But there is a God.

I would not be sitting here today writing this if there were no God.

God has rescued me from the mentality of Satanism.

And He has delivered me from evil.

So I can state categorically that there is a God.

And He is good.

Joker.

The movie Joker represents a new low in movie madness.

The movie gets under your skin and infects your spirit with evil.

The depiction of a comic book character as some sort of disaffected human is ridiculous to begin with.

But suggesting that evil is an answer to human alienation and isolation is evil itself.

The film is spiritually subversive.

It tries to make you identify with the protagonist who then turns to evil and violence.

Unlike most people I believe that the makers of these movies have sold their souls and deliberately try to turn people to evil.

The Joker is the Devil.

We do not need a movie celebrating him.

Renaissance.

We all know the Renaissance artists: Michelangelo. Leonardo, and Raphael.

But who has ever heard of Savanarola?

Savanarola was a Dominican Friar who burned Renaissance art in The Bonfire of the Vanities.

History has not remembered him.

Orlando Lives!

Orlando represents a personality archetype that is androgynous, homosexual, and left-wing.

In Astrology it is characterized by Aquarius and the planet Uranus.

In recent times we have seen a sinister attempt to eradicate this archetype from our world.

But archetypes are indestructible.

They will be born again.

Orlando lives!

The Way of Love.

The Bhagavad-Gita says that the Way of Love is greater than the Way of Knowledge or the Way of Asceticism or the Way of Good Works.

Love is the inmost nature of God.

Those who love know God.

And His Friendship is reserved for those who love Him.

Jesus said that to love God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your might was the first and greatest commandment.

And the second was to love your neighbor as yourself.

And he gave only one commandment himself and that was to love one another as he had loves us.

So it is clear that the greatest way is the Way of Love.

Choices.

What matters in our world is not what may or may not be in our unconscious but what we choose.

What manifests in our world is what we choose.

And what we choose is subject to our will.

We use our will to discriminate between what is helpful and what is not.

There is no other way.

So we should not be too concerned about our unconscious, we have little control over what may be there, but we should apply our will to choose the best options.

And we should forgive ourselves for any mistakes we may make.

Good.

Whatever happened to Good?

When I was young we were expected to be Good.

And we wanted to be Good.

And I don't mean just well-behaved.

I mean real Good.

Good to us meant being honest and truthful.

Good to us meant caring and helping.

Good to us meant peace and love.

But the next generation (Generation X) were Bad.

And they made everyone else Bad.

Now we laud corruption and praise evil.

But the generation born after Generation X (the Millennials born 1996 - 2010) are Good.

Good to them is natural.

They aspire to work towards Good.

This gives us Hope.

And it deserves our full support.

So put your faith in this generation.

And pour your blessings upon them.

For God is Good.

And all blessings flow from Him.

Suffering.

The main reason that I warn people about Satanism in rock music is because it causes suffering.

If you look back to the 1960s and attribute drug taking and promiscuity to Satanism in rock music you will see the damage it has done.

The suffering caused by drug addiction and divorce, which was mostly because of adultery, is incalculable.

Crime, violence, mental illness, addiction, and death.

These are the results.

And that was just the beginning.

The next generation openly embraced Satanism and evil.

And Satanism has spread to all areas of entertainment and sports.

Life was never meant to be this hard.

The evil influence in rock music and entertainment creates untold unnecessary suffering.

And if we appeal to God for help our lives will be blessed.
