Hate as a Political Weapon.

Since 1984 we have seen a continuous hate campaign against the Left.

Ronald Reagan's hatred of the left-leaning Hippies combined with Generation X's hatred of their predecessors to destroy the Left.

And labeling left-wing policies as the devil justified the Religious Right's hate.

They called Obama the Anti-Christ because he dared to propose health care.

They claim that hate is a Biblical imperative.

Citing Old Testament texts which claim that God hates evil and sin.

But they ignore the words of Jesus: "'You have heard that it was said, "You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy."  But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.'"  Matthew 5:43,44 (NRSV)  

Hate is not Christian.

Hate is the domain of the devil.

If there was one.

So they are not Christian because they ignore the words of Jesus himself.

And they have sold their souls for political power and privilege.

Evil.

The problems we are facing in our world now are basically the symptoms of a spiritual malaise.

Quite apart from the fact that rock music, entertainment, and sports contain covert Satanism the practices of our corporate masters and their political allies are evil.

Deliberate deception, smear campaigns, profiteering, lack of accountability, exploitation, lies, scapegoating, and hate are all symptoms of evil.

And it is covered in darkness.

But a light is coming into the world.

So we must follow the light and aspire to do good.

Honesty, integrity, idealism, truthfulness, courage, altruism, humanitarianism, charity, faith, and love are remedies for our current dilemma.

Worship and prayer will support our efforts.

So look to positive spiritual practices to correct what has been spoiled.

And ask God to help us.

Sexuality.

I may be older but I am young enough to remember what it was like to be young and virile and looking for love.

Sex was an urgent need.

And this is how it is meant to be.

The rules of religion are made by old men who no longer need to express their sexuality.

But this was never what God intended.

Sex does not banish spirituality.

It is possible to be sexually active and spiritually devoted as well.

The sex act does not cancel our relationship with God. 

The idea that sexual orgasm leads to death is propaganda put out by Satanists with a vested interest in spiritual death.

These are lies circulated to deceive us.

God's attitude to sex is matter of fact.

He does not entertain the phobias and aversions that his priests and ministers suffer from.

Sexuality, including homosexuality, is a normal part of life.

And we should teach our children that.

Satanism.

There has always been an element in our world who will embrace evil and worship Satan.

But, far from being a fringe minority, this phenomenon saturates our popular culture.

Since the 1960s rock bands and superstars have been selling their souls and filling their music with Satanic suggestion.

This is subtle and sinister.

   

And it is hidden behind a mask.

But sex and drugs and rock and roll has ruined whole generations of youth.

And their malevolent music is still popular today.

Darkness, death, depression, suicide.....

Rock music is Satanic.

We can do without it.

Heaven.

Gay men go to Heaven.

And the gay men who died of AIDS are in Heaven.

How do I know this?

Because God has promised me.

And I have seen them.

Clothed in white and sitting by the river, safe, and happy in the Love of God.

Do not listen to those who tell you that gay men are damned to hell.

They are basing their views on outdated texts in the Bible.

Texts which have been challenged and discredited.

The gay men who died of AIDS are in Heaven.

And gay men will go to Heaven when they die.

Lot.

The Koran talks repeatedly about the sin of Lot.

This is assumed to be homosexuality because Lot lived in Sodom.

But the Bible tells us that the sin of Sodom was that she had: "pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy."  Ezekiel 16:49 (NRSV)

And many modern scholars claim that Sodom's sin was a breach of Middle Eastern hospitality customs.

It is interesting to note that the only time Jesus mentioned Sodom was in the context of hospitality.  (Luke 10:12)

So it is not at all certain that Lot sinned at all.

But the terror of punishment which is contained in the Koran prevails.

And homosexuality is condemned.

But God does not condemn homosexuality.

His Love does not discriminate.

He loves us like His gay sons and daughters.

And a good father will not condemn his gay children.

So we need to reinterpret the Koran in the light of modern scholarship.

And banish the fear of homosexuality for good!
