The Book Of Pleasures, Raoul Vaneigem: Revolution no longer lies in refusing to acquiesce and survive but in taking a delight in oneself.

Well now, it does and it doesn’t. If you’re reading this with deconstructive eyes, you already know that for the worker bees to stop and consider their own pleasure would bollux up the works something terrible. Read the rest of this entry »

Chuckling: “The failure to understand Genesis is literally “undermining the entire word of God,” Ken Ham, the founder of Answers in Genesis, says in a video. The collapse of Christianity believed to result from that failure is drawn out in a series of exhibits: school shootings, gay marriage, drugs, porn and pregnant teens.”

But what if it’s the other way round?

What if Christianity, as practiced, is a whopping failure?

That fails those in need because it has been the vehicle of men like Ken Ham, founder, who see profit and power, the toxic mix of money and ego, even in the body of the Christ.

Aw hell, Christ Himself would be bored to tears and not a little pissed with the video-taped crap of the Ken Hams of this world. Would throw their smarmy asses out of the temple—probably muttering to himself, Christ, again?—and hand the whole thing over to the women. Whom he admired, whom he was close to, and why not, would you give anything deep to men?

One feels sorry for people whose lives are run by their gonads, but you tell me, are they ever in their right mind? I think not.

Step back and for the moment ignore the fact that men have taken the role. Are they really fit ?

Or is it they who constitute the troubled, the baffled and bereft. Who bring eternal grief to the family, to the lives of women and children, to nations. Spiritually damned by that untruthful double life.

In the short time He was alive, Jesus invested in the women around him. Despite the fact they were as respected as sand fleas. Which no doubt aided the idea of his enemies that He was just some kind of nut.

But if you’re at all grown up, you know. The crazy are sane, the meek the strength of the earth, where Buddhists practice Christianity and a celibate Pope honks on and on about sex.

It would be nice to have a true church to turn to, but honey, as we know, Institutions are categorically fucked. I just got some ideas why.

“In my experience going in to Hindu temples, Buddhist temples and etc. I have realized that Christians must be intolerant of other religions. Buddhism and Shintoism and all other religions that don’t teach that Jesus is THE only way are lies from Satan. I understand that we sound close-minded and intolerant, but we have to be. There are too many people around the world that are going to hell because we are trying to be too sensitive.”

MAN AND WOMAN IN THE TEACHINGS OF THE BUDDHA:
In particular, adultery is as unwholesome for men as it is for women.
