Hate.

Fundamentalist Christians say that they hate gay and lesbian people because they are sinners.

And they say that God hates us.

But the Bible says: "Whoever says 'I am in the light', while hating a brother or sister, is still in the darkness.  Whoever loves a brother or sister lives in the light." 1 John 2:9,10 (NRSV) 

And so they are not "in the light" as they claim but deep in the darkness of hate and evil.

For "God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them." 1 John 4:16 (NRSV)

Gay Love.

When a gay man approaches you don't panic.

He is offering you his love.

If you do not feel able to respond in a sexual fashion it is best to let him down gently.

Violent sexual rejection can have dire consequences.

But you may feel able to accept his love.

If he is able to accept your wishes.

And so we must proceed with respect.

We must respect your wishes, your rights, and your vows.

And then you may feel able to respect our offer of love.

Good Gays.

Gay people are good.

I know that some out of bitterness and spite may turn to the dark side.

But the overwheming majority of gay people are good.

Allegations by fundamentalists that gays are possessed by the devil are groundless.

This delusion is based on dubious passages in the Bible.

And it is rooted in fear and ignorance.

Gay people are good.

And they are loved and valued by God.

The End.

Just as the Age of Pisces saw the end of blood sacrifice to God.

So the Age of Aquarius will see the end of the theology of Original Sin and Redemption through Jesus' Death on the Cross.

These things are offensive to modern sensibilities.

They cannot last.

And they will be replaced by more positve theoogical conceptions.

Heavy Metal.

Bodybuilders lift heavy metal weights.

And they listen to heavy metal music.

Unfortunately heavy metal music is mostly Satanic.

And so they unconsciously associate heavy metal with the devil and hell.

Satanic rock music associates sex with the devil.

Therefore heavy metal is associated with sex.

This unfortunate situation can be countered by the presence of Saturn and Capricorn*.

Most bodybuilders have strong Saturn and Capricorn aspects in their charts.

Saturn represents the father and ultimately God our spiritual Father.

So their strength and masculinity leads them to God and to Heaven.

And so potentially bodybuilders can be Satanic monsters or pillars of living stone.

Thus their faith can save them.

If they pray to God with a sincere heart.

It is my prayer that they denounce the devil and all his works and turn to God through love the unseen hook.

(The astrological sign Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn.)

The Search.

The Baby-Boomer Generation rejected the Traditional Christianity of the 1950s which was negative, authoritarian, and threatening.

And we set out on a search for God.

Many of us experimented with Yoga and Eastern Religions.

But our search was sabotaged by Satanists in rock music.

Promiscuity and drugs diverted our pure intentions and ensured that our efforts ended in failure.

And so peace and love became sex and drugs and rock and roll.

And social justice became decadence.

 

The alternative title for Let the Sun Shine In - the final song of the Musical Hair - was The Flesh Failures.

And so we were set up from the beginning.

And we were sitting ducks for Reagan's Judgment of the Millennium.

But the Bible says: "Ask, and it will be given; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you." Luke 11:9 (NRSV)

So the search may yet be fruitful.

If we turn to God in prayer.

Hades.

In Astrology the asteroid Hades represents the crude or even evil aspects of our personalities.

These are hidden in our shadows and relegated to the subconscious where we don't acknowledge them.

But they are there and they will affect our behavior despite our protestations.

In the ancient world they were thought of as demonic spirits and were removed by exrocism.

But God can remove these things if we pray.

In the Book of Daniel it says: "Many shall be purified, cleansed, and refined."  Daniel 12:10 (NRSV)

And this is what transpires if we turn to God.
