Pope Benedict XVI

Another STFU entry…  Despite the fun, I’d be very happy were I never able to write another of these.  Sadly, that will never happen.  But on to my tirade…

The Nazi Pope recently preached hate and intolerance in Spain.  I realize there’s very little surprise in that, but the fun is in the details.

Spain legalized gay marriage last year, something Pope Bein’-A-Dick does not like, so he used his visit to the country to spout more ignorance than you can find jammed between your toes after not bathing for a month.  It’s lucky for us his entire speech was performed with both feet in his mouth.

At an evening celebration with pilgrims from around the world, the Pope urged politicians to value the traditional family.

“This is the best way to counter a widespread hedonism which reduces human relations to banality and empties them of their authentic value and beauty,” he said, to waves of applause.

Let’s not misunderstand His Holy Heinousness.  Is he saying gay relationships are empty of authentic value and beauty?  That they are solely based on hedonistic tendencies and lack intrinsic emotional value on par with heterosexual relationships?  And that recognizing them as equal to those of straights somehow reduces marriage to banality?

Give me a fucking break, you idiot asshole.  It is the anti-gay marriage movement that inflicts ordinariness on relationships by preaching and practicing that gay relationships are worthless.  Rather than acknowledging that love is love, that those in committed relationships care for each other with the same zeal and vigor regardless of orientation, Gas Chamber Charlie seems to think that the heterosexual obsession with gay sex and gay relationships is healthy and better than just realizing that the diversity of people on this planet must also give rise to a diversity of relationships.

And, since I’ve said it, why are straight people so hung up on gay sex anyway?  They appear to think about it as often, if not more often, than homosexuals.  It’s all Teh Gay all the time with these people.  You know what they say about such things…  Being closet cases and all…  This hate-filled agenda and predisposition to constantly ponder all things gay seems to blind these people to the authentic beauty of and undeniable value in committed relationships between two people who truly love each other.  The orientation of those involved in no way diminishes those truths.  Yet the straight agenda would rather belittle and ignore this axiom in light of their own selfish bigotry.

So, the empty-headed Pope disparages the emotions and relationships of gays as being unequal to those of heterosexuals.  He claims that the intolerant status quo must surely be the best thing possible.  Recognizing gay relationships as being in any way equal simply can not be.  Instead, they must be dehumanized, made to be seen as less than the majority.  As a former Nazi, this is a practice with which he has plenty of experience.  Remember, that’s how it started with the Jews in World War II.  Begin with the simple representation that “these people” are less than we are, that they are in some way fundamentally evil and deserving of less consideration than the ruling class.  Once they can be seen that way, we can fire up the gas chambers again, a practice I’m sure he’d love to rekindle (pun intended).

And to be certain he’s not seen as the hate-filled zealot that he is:

The Pope has branded gay unions an expression of “anarchic freedom” but said he wanted to focus on the positives, not negatives.

It’s difficult, isn’t it, to focus on the positives when you’re being called an anarchist?  Or did I completely forget what that word means?  I doubt it.  His inimical attitude can not so easily be masked.  Rather than live and lead under the example of teachings of his own savior, he’d rather toss the bible out on its ear and go for the jugular instead.

“The family is itself based primarily on a deep interpersonal relationship between husband and wife, sustained by affection and mutual understanding,” the 79-year-old said, before hundreds of fireworks burst into the sky.

Let’s clarify something, you pig-headed asshole: “family” is absolutely not defined by a man and a woman, a husband and a wife.  The term, and the very practice of the concept, has no such boundaries or limitations.  When heterosexuals with children get a divorce, does that child stop being family because the husband and wife are no longer together?  Or if one of the parents dies?  Or if a single parent adopts a child?  Do any of these things negate the family aspect of their relationships?

Of course not!  It takes tremendous and blatant ignorance to even consider such a thing, but then look at who we’re talking about.

But let’s focus on the positives, shall we?  From that statement alone, he is saying that gay relationships lack the sustaining affection and mutual understanding found in straight relationships.  How pathetic.  How small-minded.  I beg to differ.  There is ample research to show that such relationships are as lasting and stable as any legally recognized marriage.  You will find the same dedication, love, compassion, and understanding in homosexual relationships that you find in straight relationships, and how anyone could pretend to know different when they’ve never experienced one is beyond me.  Saying this is akin to me saying that straights do not love each other the same way we do.  How could I possibly know?

Not only that, but he is ignoring the millions of gay relationships around the globe that prove him absolutely incorrect.  His belief that only heterosexuals are capable of such relationships is laughable at best.  It denies the reality all around him.  It ignores centuries of history that show quite the opposite.  It also ignores hundreds of species of animals who also engage in homosexual relationships, some of which last years—or even the entire life of the animal.

I find it rather confusing to see the Pope talking about the meaning of family and marriage.  Are they not celibate?  Are they not “married” to the church and forever denied such relationships with people?  Given that, whence comes this sudden expertise in something they have never and will never experience?

Besides, we’re talking about an organization which has for decades (at minimum) systematically enabled, protected, and hidden child molesters, rapists, and criminals.  Are we really to believe that the church might have something authoritative to say on a topic whose very soul they have pillaged and murdered time and again?  These people support and safeguard the untoward violation of all that is sacred about families through the practice and support of indiscretion, child molestation, and rape.  How in the world can they really think themselves in a position to speak of such things.

As priests can not marry and can not engage in relationships like those about which they preach, this is a double whammy.  Yes, let the child molesters and enablers tell us what is best for the family.  Let those who have never been married and never will get married tell us what marriage should be and what it is about.  Let the Nazi leader of this hate cult speak to us about dehumanizing gays and reducing their emotions and relationships to a less-than-equal status as representation of his moral superiority and love for all humankind.

Did he ever even read the bible?  Did he understand it?

Galatians 5:22-23:

22 But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith.
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

I see none of those things in his acts or words, nor do I see them in the acts or words of many Christians (and Jews and Muslims and…) who continually fight to destroy the lives of gays (and anyone else who is different or does not believe what they believe).  They strive to minimize our standing as humans, to inflict harm on our rights and freedoms, and to ensure we are never treated as equal to heterosexuals.  That sure doesn’t seem to fit in with those verses from the bible…

On the marriage question itself, I Corinthians 7:7-9:

7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

Yes, the New Testament is unequivocal in the case of marriage: unless someone can disregard their sexuality in its entirety and turn their back on the pursuit of such relationships, they should be allowed to marry.  The institution, according to the bible at least, can provide their god’s blessing on them through marriage rather than cursing them for extramarital relationships.  This certainly causes one to ponder the contrary actions of the faith’s followers.

I could also pull all sorts of scripture about divorce and putting such people to death (Mark 10:12 and Leviticus 20:10), the commandment to kill the children of your enemies (Numbers 31:17), and how only fools believe every word they hear and read (Proverbs 14:15).  I could show you where the bible says no human should be called Rabbi, father or master (Matthew 23:8-10).  I could point out that the bible clearly commands us not to work for money (Proverbs 23:4).  Or how about the commandment not to accept gifts (Exodus 23:8).

You see, I could go on ad nauseam and demonstrate the fallacious hypocrisy of such people based on their own holy text, but I believe I’ve gotten my point across.

So, Pope Benedict XVI, do us all a favor and shut the fuck up!
