Spiritual Corruption.

The Religious Right has corrupted itself by siding with right-wing plutocrats in the corporations.

In exchange for the money and power that were on offer they sold the Holy Spirit to the corporations and their allies Generation X.

This is spiritual corruption.

It began when Pope John Paul II sold out to Ronald Reagan's plot to defeat Communism in Russia.

Reagan used Satanic rock bands to foment rebellion in the youth and the Holy Spirit from the Church to break the atheist Commies.

This was spiritual corruption.

And the right-wing political machine made Generation X its most preferred nation.

While condemning the left-wing Hippies as agents of Satan.

But this is backwards.

Generation X are self-confessed bad guys and they openly side with the devil.

The Hippies and Baby-Boomers still believe in a benevolent God.

It was their rock stars that practised covert Satanism and not the Hippies themselves.

Whereas Generation X openly supported Satan.

So to attempt to give Generation X a spiritual blessing as well as the material advantages they received from the Plutocrats is in fact to bless the devil and curse the good.

But because the good are in favor of equality and the redistribution of wealth the Plutocrats hate them and try to use the Church to damn them out of spite.

This is where the Religious Right have corrupted themselves for power and money.

They have sold out the Holy Spirit.

And corrupted their faith.

Sacred Love.

Come out

from 

the darkness

and the web of evil.

Renounce

the devil

and his works.

Deny

death

and all its minions.

For you are Life

and your beauty

is innocent.

You are good

and your love

is sacred.

Moderation.

When it comes to pleasure the answer is not the extremes of excess indulgence or fanatical self-denial.

The answer is the recommendation of the Buddha - the Middle Path of Moderation.

It is interesting that the inscription of the Oracle of Delphi - at the Temple of Apollo - reads: "Nothing in Excess."

And the saying; "All things in moderation" dates from the Greek Philosopher Hesiod in 700 BCE.

So there is a history behind the practice of Moderation.

The temptation, of course, is to eliminate pleasure altogether out of fear.

But this leads to repression which causes perversions.

So do not be afraid of pleasure.

Pleasure in moderation is pleasing to God.

At Work.

God is at work in the world.

He answers prayers.

And He acts through people.

But there are less people available to Him because so few people worship Him or call on Him in prayer.

The rest of us are busy enjoying ourselves or following rock stars and celebrities of dubious virtue.

But God is available to us.

It is up to us to call on His Love.

And see that God is at work in the world.

Thank You.

Lord,

Let us never take your Love

for granted.

Let us always give you thanks.

For now we have Life,

Having known death.

And now we see Heaven,

Having known hell!

God's Fool.

When the world starts telling you you are a fool you will know that you are on the right track.

God's goodness and virtue are foolishness to the world.

What fool sacrifices his advantage for the sake of principle?

What fool rejects temptation for the sake of virtue?

God's Fool.

The Love of God is a treasure with no equal.

We are willing to sacrifice everything for this treasure.

And be called fools by the world.

Gay Activism.

My role as a gay activist is to reconcile gay men with God.

And as such I must deal with the Churches.

I am in the unique position of being a sexually active gay man and a confirmed Son of God.

My relationship with God is strong.

It is rooted in Reality.

It cannot be shaken by the naysayers in the Churches.

I am firmly established in the Love of God.

And God does not discriminate.

We are His gay sons.

He loves us as He loves all His children.

We are bound for Heaven.

And we will have Eternal Life!
