WHEN I WAS ONLY TEN.

HAVE WHISKEY,
A LARGE ONE I BET,
BUT YOU ALWAYS WILL REMEMBER,
WHAT YOU’RE TRYING TO FORGET,
I’M HALF THE MAN I SHOULD HAVE BEEN,
RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, RIGHT THEN,
HALF MAN, HALF BEAST, YOU WERE A PRIEST,
AND I WAS ONLY TEN.

SACRIFICIAL LITTLE BOYS,
SERVING AT THE ALTAR,
IF GOD COULD SEE,
WHY DIDNT HE,
STEP IN AND STOP THE SLAUGHTER?

HUSH NOW BOY, DONT TELL THEM WHEN,
NOBODY NEEDS TO KNOW,
I’M STILL ALIVE, BUT LOST MY LIFE,
WHEN I WAS ONLY TEN.

NOW YOU SEE ME,
NOW YOU DON’T,
FORGIVE, FORGET,
I CAN’T, I WON’T,
JESUS, EVERY NOW AND THEN,
MAKE FORGET WHENH I WAS TEN……………

Where was his dignity or was it ok because it “pleased god”

Yep, innit…?!
But he did.

And less than 10 minutes later I was on my way out of the church (bldg.) and out of the Church (institution).

That was 1959.
I haven’t been in a church since.
And I never will again; not even dead.

Knickers to the lot of them.

The funny thing is, that the more I think of that priest, the more I know that he, too, was as camp as Fanny’s backdoor; but I have had to get old to realise it; it didn’t even cross my mind in that 1950′s Stone Age; I, for one, thought they were God Himself.

How did we get thro’ it!

Irish Christian Brothers!
(Next door’s pit-bull is more Christian.!)

Strap-happy nuns!

Mass 5,000 times a week!

Clatterin’ beads, night and day!

Absolutely NUTS the ckuffing lot.

Meanwhile, these black-robed and be-wimpled crows are busy kiddy fiddlin’ and the fancy-robed ponces higher up the ecclesi-elastical ladder are busy constructin’ marble this-es and
thats-es; bling here; bling there; all out o’ the coppers of the poor.

I am ranting again.

Nite.

To Rahman,

I think at least there are millions religious leaders died, but only few of them to be named “saint”, Islam is also the same. May I correct your words like this:

“Islam Dishonors Human”.

To a lot of comments: it doesn’t take being a pedophile to keep clergy out of heaven. Christ’s “judge not” directive is pretty clear in condemning the kind of behavior we’re discussing. I have to believe God is displeased with the sweepingly hateful interpretation of Christianity Barragan and those like him want us to agree with and live by. That damns a lot more people than simply those who abuse children.

1. Repent of your homosexality
2. Convert to heterosexuality

or

For those who refuse to comply with the above, you will be killed by being taken to the top of a mountain and then in the name of Allah . . . thrown off it.

How do I know this about Rahman. Check out the 616 threads of dialogue with this extremist fantatical islamist crackpot.

I think it was Jesus who said let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Maybe the Cardinal should consider that in the context of some of his colleagues before he comments.

Muhammed lived in an era where Arabic men behaved like animals, beating and killing for no good reason. He tried to put some sense in to the society he lived in, by teaching virtues like not hitting women until you’ve given them fair warning and other such moral codes that were revolutionary at that time. But religion is problematic in that it encourages everyone to suppress free thinking and so that society develops little socially until a major religious movement occurs. Fortunately for the UK, Atheism marks a major religious movement and the end of a suppression of free thought.

Im sorry I mean you no disrespect but why do you feel that this man is worthy of the respect of gay men and women after the comments that he has made.

You believe that God does not like same gender relationships but how can you prove that? I know you’ll come back and say something along the lines of it says so in the Koran or the Hadith or some such, but how do we even know that that is the word of God when there are so many others who make the same claim for other books. They say Gods word is not in the other books, they say its in the Bhagavad Gita. Others say,no, God’s word is in the Bible.

Others say, no, it’s in the Torah.
Others say, no, in the Mishna.
Others say, the Talmud.
Others, the Rig Veda.
Others, the Brahmanas.
Others, the Upanishads.
Others, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana.
Others, the Puranas.
Others, the Tantras.
Others, Tao-te Ching.
Others, the Buddha-Dharma.
Others, the Dhammapada.
Others, The Master of Huai-nan.
Others, the Shih-chi.
Others, the Pali Canon.
Others, the Book Of Mormon
Others…

Well, the point is, many people believe that Direct Revelation – that is, God speaking directly to mankind – has not occured since the Holy Scriptures ( with which they feel comfortable) were written.
And while few of those who cite these sources agree with each other theologically, many agree on one thing emphatically: THEIR Word of God is THE Word of God; THEIR way to paradise is THE way to paradise; THEIR communication from Deity is THE communication from Deity. Indeed, there are so many contradictory and incompatable ‘Ways’ out there that it is impossible to know with any degree of certainty who or what is right. So how do you know, anymore than the rest of those who make exactly the same claim for their own sacred texts, who has the exclusive interview with the Almighty?

Namaste & Salaam

kara beech.
