Take the whole issues of Religion and Homosexuality.

The Head of the Anglicans has asked that no new Bishops be consecrated, if they are homosexuals. It is a desire to avoid a schism in the Anglican wing of Christianity, and I wonder, is that request a blow to Gay Rights, or simply an attempt to let nature take its course?

“A fellow Christian may believe they have a profound fresh insight. They seek to persuade others about it. A healthy church gives space for such exchanges,” he told the 650 bishops at the meeting in Canterbury, England. “But the Christian with the new insight can’t claim straight away that this is now what the Church of God believes or intends.” (source – USA Today)

It makes sense to a point, but I wonder really is this about having space to debate the issue, or is it really a veiled attempt at keeping the opponents of same sex marriage, preachers, Bishops, happy? Is this appeasement, or truly an attempt to open a dialogue free from pressure? And should there be such a cooling off period, such a moratorium?

What one believes in, what their faith is, is rather a personal thing. I don’t know if any Organized Religious Group can truly alter how any single member feels. Does having a Gay Bishop matter to the man whose child is suffering from Cancer? Does a woman who’s been raped truly care if two guys can be married in her Church?

Is what a Preacher says on the pulpit going to really make a Gay Man deny his homosexuality, or suddenly become Heterosexual? Will the sermons of Hate about Gays really change, even if the hierarchy allow same sex marriage? I know that the story of the Wandering Jew is still preached, even when Popes have said it is a wrong message. I know that there are still many who preach about separation of races, and yet in society, race segregation isn’t tolerated.

The belief of racists didn’t stop the Civil Rights movement, even when it was led by the same style of Preacher and Politician that we have today, so does it really matter if some major religious group supports or opposes Gays in their Church? Most Religious Orders believe in Compassion, are supposedly INTOLERANT OF HATE, and yet that is exactly what they do. Despite all the sermons about loving one’s neighbour, one’s brother, it is clear that their sermons really have no effect, so why should we fight so hard for them to accept us?

Does it matter if the Bishop over in Texas of California accepts us? Isn’t it more important that we believe that GOD does? And really until HE comes down to Earth, to tell us we are Sinners, or Not, it is simply a personal belief. No Pope, no Bishop, No Rabbi, can change how WE BELIEVE IN GOD.

The Anglican’s have wrapped another of their major meetings, to try and resolve the issue of some Churches being accepting of Homosexuals. Some it seems don’t like Queers, and well, frankly their WHITE SHEETS are looking a bit tattered from OVERUSE.

Bet these are descendants from the Ancient Greeks, who helped to push aside the accepted practice of Pederasty, in order to maintain their own control over people.

And yet while their voices claim to represent some THIRTY FIVE MILLION PEOPLE, you have to wonder if they can count, or if they are simply inflating the numbers, to inflate their own egos. Yet, one shouldn’t be harsh, after all these ARE MEN OF GOD… SO THEY CLAIM.

In its statement, the group, which says it represents 35 million Anglicans, accused churches in the West of proclaiming “a false gospel [that] undermines the authority of God’s word” and promotes a “variety of sexual preferences and immoral behaviour.” (source – CBC News)

This is not a new problem, nor will it be a simple one to end. After all, Bigots have a habit of not going away, but of simply hiding in the bushes, to attack when people let their guard down. And yes, they can cloak themselves in Religious Mumbo Jumbo, but the simple fact is, being Gay is as natural as breathing air is. It is who some people are, and if you believe in a Divine Entity, well you have to accept that HE/SHE KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING.

IF Christ did exist, and IF the stories of him are TRUE, then these supposed Men of God are nothing but Fakes, Charletons. For CHRIST did not REJECT people, but wanted ALL OF THE PEOPLE to HEAR GOD’S WORDS, to be a part of his world.

AND THERE WERE NO STRINGS ATTACHED.
