Subject: Christians Piss Their Pants
No, they aren't into watersports. Christians, particularly the Roman Catholics and the more obnoxious evangelicals, are pissing their pants in fear.

On Tuesday, the nation's Roman Catholic bishops met in Baltimore to re-declare the church's teaching that same-sex attractions are "disordered". Why do they think this? Because same-sex attraction does not lead to pregnancy - the only reason that the Catholic Church believes sex exists. And so they claim that gays cannot experience true happiness because nobody gets pregnant.

Ask 1,000 American Roman Catholics if they think that sex is for getting pregnant only and that God intended that sex only be engaged in by a husband and wife and only when they intend to have a baby and see how many of them agree? If you find 100, especially among Catholics below the age of 30, I would faint from shock.

At the same time, the largest Baptist group in North Carolina adopted a policy that expels any Baptist congregation that is too "gay-friendly". God forbid that any Baptist church should show any compassion or welcome to someone that is on the 'fringe' of society. After all, Jesus NEVER did anything like that!

Uh...oh, that's right. He did.

Well, never mind, the Baptists won't make that mistake! After all, you can't keep people the object of fear and hatred if you actually get to know them, can you? And they need that fear and hatred to keep their congregations in line.

That's what this is all about. Control. The more that Gays come out of the closet and show the world that we are just like everybody else, that we don't have two heads or horns, that we don't rape children, that we don't do 99% of the shit that we're accused of, people start to not listen to the bigots and hypocrites running the churches. And not listening equates to not putting so much in the 'plate' anymore and who the hell is going to pay for their huge churches and their fancy wardrobes and their limousines? After all, didn't Jesus ride around Judea in a litter dressed in the finest robes that money could buy?

Uh...no? Oh, well, he should have because his followers sure do!

The most disgusting thing about all of this, is this restatement of the Roman church's hatred of Gays comes from new guidelines for church ministries to Gays! They want to minister to us at the same time they're calling us "disordered".

No, thank you.

I want nothing to do with your church or with your narrow-minded god. Keep your Jesus and your Baptist crap and your catholic crap and shove them up your ass. You have no business ministering to Gays until you spend at least 100 years apologizing for all the harm you've done to us throughout the centuries. Your bishops and your popes and all your priests and nuns and ministers should burn in your denominational hells for that alone.

More ramblings from someone else, 11-15-06 9:17pm

While everyone is jumping on the bandwagon to, again, gloat about another conservative right-wing christian who was caught with not only his pants down but with another equally naked male, I want to say a few things that some of you may not like very much.

The Rev. Ted Haggard was caught in a sex scandal with a gay male prostitute. In fact, it was the prostitute who squeeled on him. This ended his presidency of the largest organization of evangelical christians and his ministry at a "mega-church" that he founded.

However, except for the high positions of power that he reached in evangelical christianity, there is nothing unique about this story. In fact, it is as common as dirt. I am quite willing to bet that there are millions of men in the same position as the reverend found himself - wanting sex with another male after being told all his life that it is wrong or sinful or perverted or deviant or any of the other lies that are told about sex between males.

Men who married to hide their desires or to try and make themselves conform to the norm. Men who are husbands, fathers, providers for families. Men who live tortured and wretched lives not able to ever adequately obtain their deep-rooted psycho-sexual-emotional needs. Men who end up alcoholics or dead from stress long before their time. Men who's only real sin is trying to be what a fucked-up, hypocritical society says they should be.

No matter how tempting it is, it is disgusting to me that members of the gay male community - a community that knows far too well the pain and anguish that males go through over their desires for other males - to gloat at the downfall of such a man. We may complain that the christians show no "chistian charity" but, gentlemen, neither do we.
