  On the Relevancy of The Institutionalization of Sin

  by Perry in

  child murder, sodomy & corrupting the human genome are not new sins, they are old ones.

  what is new is their institutionalization.

  but even that isn't totally new.

  Perry suffers from what i'm going to call Angry Old Christian syndrome. It is similar to Angry Old White Male Syndrome, a recognized syndrome that includes old white men who are angry that the world isn't like it was when white man ruled everything and women, blacks and other minorities knew their places.

  It isn't enough for angry old white men that the vast majority of CEOs, Congressman, Mayors, Ministers, etc. are white males. They are angry because anyone else has moved up and they can no longer be the superior force and assist in subjugating everyone below them.

  Angry old Christians have the same issue. It isn't enough that they continue to be the dominant religion and influence society at a major level. No. They want it to remain as it has, when X-tianity ruled everything and was allowed to impose its views and rules onto everyone.

  What Perry or any other theist wants to believe is A-OK with me. But when they try to impose their own brand of hate, their own religious views, and their own fucking opinion onto others, then, Houston, we have a problem. So Perry, please, by all means, continue to believe what you believe. I would prefer that you keep your hate filled views to yourself or share them within the domiciles of your religion. I used to say to share them without your own home, but that is child abuse.

  AOWM and AOC have a lot in common. Both of them are T-Rexes walking. And that is most excellent.

  LoveUnit: "But why do want to start a thread about this? The big problem with appealing to scripture, Perry, is that it cannot be established as the word of God."

  Because Perry is full of hate; he has found someone who shares similar hate - Jah and his son. And even better, those 2 justify Perry's hate. Hating others makes Perry feel better about himself. Tearing others down builds Perry up. Denigrating them elevates him. He can claim the moral high ground, the superior position, the favored son. A lot of times x-tians, especially dubs and ex-dubs, continue to act this way, in spite of rational evidence, because they were never allowed, or able, to achieve anything.

  They have a high school education and a ho-hum job with a ho-hum life. Psychologists call it leveling.

  Perry (Rumpelstiltskin), for your viewing pleasure:

  July 1, 2015: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has deemed state employees exempt from granting same-sex couples with marriage licenses if it violates their religious beliefs. Conservative lawmakers in Tennessee have started drafting legislation that would protect religious leaders from being forced to preside over same-sex marriages. Utah and Mississippi are considering doing away with state-issued marriage licenses, while county clerks in Kentucky and Alabama have already taken it upon themselves to stop granting licenses altogether.

  While such pushback looks poised to provoke legal action, constitutional law expert Greg Magarian, a professor of law at Washington University, said that most of these state efforts are “the political equivalent of temper tantrums,” attention-getting yet extremely difficult to implement.

  “You can stand in the corner and hold your breath until you’re blue in the face, but people in your state will still be signing up for Obamacare, only now you’ve given the authority over it to the federal government,” Magarian said. From a political perspective, he said, daring the federal government to takeover a long-held state responsibility like marriage would be “a strategically stupid move.”

  coalize,

  Thanks again. I do not understand why people care about others' sexual preferences. Most top flight researchers suggest that our sexuality is a moveable scale anyway, depending on lots of factors. When a non-theist makes statements about genetic links, it bothers me because it seems an attempt to justify being gay, which establishes a 'moral' link between the two. Being gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender or all of the above, for a while or forever, does not need ANY justification from ANYONE.

  It's no one's business, especially Perry's.

  Perry: "Its relevancy is drastically diminished when compared to our TOTAL inability to cease consciousness when we die. No one will be able to stop being aware, ever."

  Is that a threat, Perry? Is that the way Jah and his baby boy handle things?? Torturing and punishing pathetic little humans forever??? Is that why you love them so much? Birds of a feather I suppose.

  Perry, you say sodomy, I say birthday sex. You say fornication; I say fun. You say the LGBT community is damned to hell; I see it is increasing my opportunities for me and my GF on Saturday night.

  The world as you know it is passing away, and it can't leave this planet soon enough. When your type of theism and those who practice it can be seen on Jurassic World Part IX (as extinct but reproducible play things for our enjoyment), that will be a good thing. A very good thing.

  Thanks coalize. It makes no difference if being gay is 100% choice, 100% genetics or a combination. Get over it, people. Perry, you go away for a while only to return with a vengeance (and I mean that word in the Jah/Jesus way).

  I don't participate in your theist rants, but I will give you something else to put in your pipe and smoke:

  Published June 30, 2015 Associated Press, OKLAHOMA CITY – A Ten Commandments monument on the Oklahoma Capitol grounds is a religious symbol and must be removed because it violates the state's constitutional ban on using public property to benefit a religion, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday.

  Oklahoma's highest court said the Ten Commandments chiseled into the 6-foot-tall granite monument, which was privately funded by a Republican legislator, are "obviously religious in nature and are an integral part of the Jewish and Christian faiths."

  The 7-2 ruling overturns a decision by a district court judge who determined the monument could stay.

  Yes, last Friday and this Monday were good days; they were very good days.

  Geoffrey Jackson compares waiting for Armageddon to waiting for Brazil to score a goal against Argentina!

  I don't know, Bro Jackson might be on to something. Armageddon and soccer are exactly alike; no matter what configuration of teams and players, the score at the end of both of them is going to be 1 - 0.

  Cofty: "To be fair to Paradise, the god of the bible is homophobic." Yes, and this discussion has centered around that. However, Fisherman (above) gets it right. The bible does condemn homosexuality. PB made a definitive statement that PB, I mean god, hates gays - and Bruce Jenner. To be fair, she got what she deserves.

  Paradise: "God hates homosexuality, lesbianism and changing your sex."

  So he personally told you these things or are you relying on old discredited nonsensical fairy tale scrolls written by long dead men? I suppose god was asleep at the wheel on Friday.

  You really are an unpleasant little person.

  Cofty,

  Love it! Very Romanesque. I hope these are lights (you say it is lit up at night) and you get to see this beautiful architectural and historical feature in this manner.
