Grow Up!

They say that we are grown up when we realize that our parents are just human beings like us.

Hate and blame are adolescent.

But we mellow as we get older.

And we realize that our parents had no more chance than we had.

And so we can forgive them.

And love them in their old age.

As they deserve.

Hate.

The right-wing political machine is bankrupt.

Its campaigns against the left are based on hate.

And their allies are Satanists in the popular culture.

They sow hatred and evil.

They sell lies and deception.

They assign blame.

They use religion.

And they whitewash their crimes.

But the Light from God illuminates the truth.

And His Love is greater than their hate.

So choose love and see the truth.

The tide is about to turn.

Fascism.

Fascism seeks to control the media in order to impose its message.

And Rupert Murdoch is Goebbels.

His news media is pure propaganda.

There is no objective news reporting.

It is all opinion.

And Rupert Murdoch owns 90% of the world's media.

Fascism uses violence and hate to achieve its ends.

It sells lies.

And it relies on Satanism to reinforce those lies.

It is evil.

And we should call it such.

Paula White.

People of Paula White's ilk make terrible Christians.

They are judgemental, violent, and hypocritical.

They kill, steal, and destroy in the name of Jesus Christ.

And they hate.

They are racist, homophobic, and political.

These are all attributes of Satan.

And so they take evil for good and good for evil.  (Isaiah 5:20)

Hypocrites.

Jesus said: "'Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and to be greeted with respect in the market place, and to have the best seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets!  They devour widows' houses and for the sake of appearances say long prayers.  They will receive the greater condemnation.'"  Mark 12:38-40 (NRSV)

And I say beware of the Evangelicals who make a big show of their faith in public and like to raise their hands and speak in tongues for the sake of appearances.

Jesus said: "'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"  Matthew 21:31 (NRSV)

And I say the gays and porn stars are going into the Kingdom of God ahead of you.

The First Peoples.

Our great-grandparents massacred and dispossessed the Aboriginal people of Australia.

Our grandparents and our parents were responsible for stealing their children and destroying their culture.

The Church was responsible for abuse that took place in its institutions.

As the white European inheritors of these crimes we must acknowledge culpability.

We are sorry.

And we ask your forgiveness.

We must also be prepared to listen to any Aboriginal people who tell us of problems that exist in our society today.

And we must be prepared to act to rectify them.

Life!

Life is all around us.

The flowers and the trees.

The animals and the birds.

The fish in the sea.

The air we breathe.

The fruit we eat.

The water we drink.

We grow.

We heal.

We reproduce.

All this is Life!

Life within us and around us.

Bodybuilders.

Bodybuilders are tough guys.

Hence their obsession with heavy-metal.

They are afraid of being called homosexual.

But they are aware of male admiration and desire.

They aspire to the beauty of Michelangelo.

And they encourage adulation and worship.

But the worship of beauty is love.

As the men of Ancient Greece knew.

And modern bodybuilders keep this flame in their hearts.

Even if they don't realize it.

Attitude.

Corporate Plutocrats said to the Hippies: "I don't like your attitude."

Meaning they did not like their attitude to work.

Nor did they like their attitude to money.

Generation X had a bad attitude.

Meaning they were anti-social.

And materialistic - "I am a material girl."

This the Plutocrats preferred.

Because they were bad and materialistic themselves.

The Light and the Truth.

"For there is still a vision for the appointed time."  Habakkuk 2:3 (NRSV)

And that time is now!

1993 was 2000 years from the birth of Christ (7 BCE).

And it was from 1993 that the stars began to emphasize Aquarius.

The Uranus/Neptune conjunction of 1993 was the beginning of the Age of Aquarius.

Since then we have progressively entered the Light.

And the Light that comes from God illuminates the truth.

The revelations that are revealed by the Light are self-evident.

They are not relative or speculative.

They are accurate and enduring.

This is the Truth.

Rock Music.

The decadence of our society derives from rock music.

Sex and drugs and rock and roll has corrupted everyone.

And this is because rock musicians secretly practise Satanism and black magic.

This accounts for the  hedonism and evil that derives from their influence.

The Hippies and Baby-Boomers were basically good people who were led astray into lives of addiction and degradation.

Drugs and divorce alone account for untold suffering in our world.

Peace and love, equality and tolerance are good qualities that have been slandered by right-wing ideologies.

And so the way forward is a return to the ideals of our youth without the corrupting influence of rock music.

Gay Men's Mental Health.

The reason for the high figures of mental health problems among gay men is the prejudice and fear in our society which was exacerbated by the AIDS crisis.

I say gay men, although this also affects other LGBT+ people, because it was mostly gay men who caught the HIV virus that causes AIDS.

Psychic and spiritual pressures caused by fear and aggressive knee-jerk reactions have led to an increase in violent attacks on gay people.

But these are not the only effects.

Aggressive conversion therapy practices caused by moral panic increases spiritual pressure on gay men.

And blaming gay people has hardened into a snub-nosed prejudice which causes scapegoating and damnation.

All of these things persist in our society.

And they are the causes of much of the mental health problems among gay men.

Homosexuality.

Homosexuality has become a symbol to the Religious Right of the decay of our society.

They characterize all gays and lesbians as devils hell-bent on destroying our morals.

But this is generalizing in the most blatant fashion.

It is prejudice.

And it has become a scapegoat for evil.

Moses described the Israelites as "stiff-necked" and 'hard-hearted" this means that they were rigid and intolerant.

"Was not Sodom a byword* in your mouth in the day of your pride, before your wickedness was uncovered?"  Ezekiel 16: 56,57 (NRSV)

But God says: "I will restore their fortunes, the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters,"  Ezekiel 16:53 (NRSV)  They "shall return to their former state."  Ezekiel 16:55 (NRSV)

(* A byword is a proverbial object of scorn and contempt.)

Decadence.

Generation X, under the guidance of their Godfather Ronald Reagan, reacted to the decadence of the 1970s with judgement, hate, and violence.

But in fact the 1980s were more decadent than the 70s.

Male strippers, bad, delinquents, toy boys, violence, horror, the devil, pure evil.....

All these things derive from the 1980s.

And since then: despicable, abominable, filthy, the Beast, sexting, sin, and witchcraft have ensured that our descent into darkness continues.

So the hypocritical judgement of Generation X should be seen for what it is: a whitewash of hate, violence, and evil.

Under Ronald Reagan left-wing Liberalism got the blame for the decay of society.

Right-wing political ideology was hailed as a savior.

But this merely disguised the hate, violence, and evil that it employed to achieve its goals.

Liberalism and left-wing politics became scapegoats for their evils.

In fact the decadence and corruption of our society is much worse under right-wing rule than it was under Liberalism.

So the right-wing political machine is bankrupt.

It is Fascism.

And history will record it as such.

Truth.

There is a truth.

It is not opinion.

And it is not relative.

There are facts that cannot be denied.

It is this that we crave.

A return to the truth.

And an end to lies.

Black Beast.

What Ronald Reagan actually did was unleash the Beast.

He justified: violence, brutality, lies, racism, homophobia, bigotry, sexism, jingoism, vigilantism, and hate.

And the judgement, damnation, blaming, shaming, shunning, oppression, and hate that he encouraged in the Religious Right with the help of Pope John Paul II was merely the right hand of the Beast.

Political Correctness.

When Ronald Reagan coined the expression Political Correctness it was intended to label the philosophy of the Hippies as purely political coercion.

And it concurrently made: prejudice, bigotry, homophobia, sexism, violence, and hate O.K..

But the philosophy of the Hippies is not merely political it is a form of morality.

Principles like: non-violence, equality, tolerance, liberty, multi-culturalism, peace, and love are spiritual qualities that should not be rejected.

And the prejudices and vices liberated by Reagan are not to be tolerated. 

And so we can see that the legacy of Ronald Reagan is evil and the opposite of the ways of God.

Worldly Power.

The idea that if we all conform to the world and give absolute power to the rich things will be better is completely false.

This is what we were told in the 1980s and are still being told today.

But the results of this are the largest disparity between rich and poor in history and loss of wages and conditions for workers.

The rich have all the power and the rest of us are powerless.

This is an intolerable situation.

It is untenable.

And it is wrong.

The time has come to redress this crime.

The rich may have usurped all worldly power but there is a higher power than them.

Pray to God to liberate us from this tyranny.

And establish His Kingdom on Earth.

Good News to the Poor.

When Jesus started his ministry he began with the words: "'good news to the poor'".  Luke 4:18 (NRSV)

He did not say tax cuts for the rich.

He did not say the poor are all bludgers and addicts.

He did not say trickle-down economics.

He did not say: "You don't work you don't eat."

He said: "'Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.'"  Matthew 6:26 (NRSV)

Oscar Romero said: "When I feed the poor, they call me a saint.  When I ask why they are poor, they call me a communist." 

Jesus met the same fate.

Gay Heaven.

Gay men go to Heaven.

Of this there is no doubt.

God loves His gay sons as He loves all His children.

Protests and objections from religious people are merely inspired by fear and ignorance.

There is no fear or ignorance in God.

God is Love.

His mercy and forgiveness are infinite.

And His Love is unconditional.

I Dissent.

In a world ruled by Corporate Plutocrats I am a dissident.

I do not believe that Socialism is evil.

I do not believe that unions are obsolete.

I do not believe that Climate Change is a hoax.

I do not believe that science is a fallacy.

I do not believe that welfare is disabling.

I do not believe that work is everything.

I do not believe that the economy is god.

I believe in equality, freedom, and brotherhood.

And the requisites of unconditional love.
