Queers (talk about revisionism) Reply to: see below Date: 2009-05-09,
10:26AM PDT Rather than replying to the posters assertion about what
Jesus said about homosexuals, you quote Paul. Either you are
deliberately misleading readers or you're ignorant of your Bible. At
this point, so many Fundamentalists have misled and lied, it is a
natural assumption that you are purposely misleading, though it would be
less sad if you were merely ignorant. Jesus did speak about Sodom in
the sermon on the Mount, but he himself discribed the sins of Sodom as
inhospitality to strangers/out of towners, a disregard for the homeless
and hungry, not caring for the destitute and the marginalized. Now,
taking good Christians into account here, let's say Carrie Prejean, we
see that she directed money into obtaining plastic to enhance her
breasts (which is like mixing two different materials/cloths of two
different ilks--Leviticus), rather than using that money to care for the
poor, the hungry, the homeless (rather like the millions of dollars
deflected from the truly needy and to some man-made legislation that
really doesn't much matter to God, who would prefer to see his children
fed and shelter, than discriminated against). By bringing Corinthians
and Romans into the discussion, and being a literalist (misguided as you
may be), you must also then condemn folks who are
hauty/prideful/boastful/unmerciful (and there is no group among
Americans today who are more so than Fundamentalist Christians, who are
very boastful, very prideful, and very stingy with their mercy). Also
condemned are those who are disobedient to their parents, deceitful (you
were a bit deceitful in your answer, so you may too be condemned),
slanders/full of strife/heartless (it isn't looking too good for you)!
By the way, Paul, in writing about the passions of the flesh, clearly
writes about passions out of control, excess. He refers to heterosexuals
who leave their natural relations, he speaks of ritual sexual acts,
prostitution and pederasty. Also, the concept of nature at that time,
was not the way we see nature today. There was no such concept then,
because society hadn't yet defined it, nor had much to measure nature
against. When Paul discusses nature and what is natural, he is speaking
about what is customary, what was characteristic. Now, you can take
Paul's point of view as he wrote it, and still use it as you do, but at
least you should be aware of exactly the way he uses the term "natural."
My suggestion is this for you (I'm certain you won't mind a suggestion,
since you give them out feely), if you are going to flog people with the
Bible, then you may wish to use it against all those who you believe
offend it as vehemently as you appear to do when using it against one
group. You will want to flog liars, adulterers (folks on their second
marriage), people who are disobedient to their parents, people who are
prideful.....you should be an equal opportunity hater, for that is what
the Bible would wish you to be, and you may wish by flogging yourself
first. When you have completely pummelled the heartless pride in your
own heart, the boastful nature you exhibited here out of your system,
then you may have the extra time to beat up all the other sinners in
this world, and you have a whole lot to choose from. "The Christian
myths were first related of Horus or Osiris, who was the embodiment of
divine goodness, wisdom, truth and purity...This was the greatest hero
that ever lived in the mind of man -- not in the flesh -- the only hero
to whom the miracles were natural because he was not human." Gerald
Massey, author of "The Natural Genesis," 1 Comparison of some life
events of Horus and Jesus: Event Horus Yeshua of Nazareth, a.k.a. Jesus
Conception: By a virgin. There is some doubt about this matter By a
virgin. 3 Father: Only begotten son of the God Osiris. Only begotten son
of Yehovah (in the form of the Holy Spirit). Mother: Isis-Meri. 4 Miriam
(now often referred to as Mary). Foster father: Seb, (a.k.a. Jo-Seph). 4
Joseph. Foster father's ancestry: Of royal descent. Of royal descent.
Birth location: In a cave. In a cave or stable. Annunciation: By an
angel to Isis, his mother. By an angel to Miriam, his mother. 3 Birth
heralded by: The star Sirius, the morning star. An unidentified "star in
the East." Birth date: Ancient Egyptians paraded a manger and child
representing Horus through the streets at the time of the winter
solstice (about DEC-21). In reality, he had no birth date; he was not a
human. Born during the fall. However, his birth date is now celebrated
on DEC-25. The date was chosen to occur on the same date as the birth of
Mithra, Dionysus and the Sol Invictus (unconquerable Sun), etc. Birth
announcement: By angels. By angels. 3 Birth witnesses: Shepherds.
Shepherds. 3 Later witnesses to birth: Three solar deities. An unknown
number of wise men. 3 They are said to have brought three gifts; thus
the legend grew that there were three men. Death threat during infancy:
Herut tried to have Horus murdered. Herod tried to have Jesus murdered.
Handling the threat: The God That tells Horus' mother "Come, thou
goddess Isis, hide thyself with thy child." An angel tells Jesus' father
to: "Arise and take the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt."
Rite of passage ritual: Horus came of age with a special ritual, when
his eye was restored. Taken by parents to the temple for what is today
called a bar mitzvah ritual. Age at the ritual: 12 12 Break in life
history: No data between ages of 12 & 30. No data between ages of 12 &
30. Baptism location: In the river Eridanus. In the river Jordan. Age at
baptism: 30. 30. Baptized by: Anup the Baptiser. John the Baptist,
a.k.a. John the Baptist. Subsequent fate of the baptiser: Beheaded.
Beheaded. Temptation: Taken from the desert of Amenta up a high mountain
by his arch-rival Sut. Sut (a.k.a. Set) was a precursor for the Hebrew
Satan. Taken from the desert in Palestine up a high mountain by his
arch-rival Satan. Result of temptation: Horus resists temptation. Jesus
resists temptation. Close followers: Twelve disciples. There is some
doubt about this matter as well. Twelve disciples. Activities: Walked on
water, cast out demons, healed the sick, restored sight to the blind. He
"stilled the sea by his power." Walked on water, cast out demons, healed
the sick, restored sight to the blind. He ordered the sea with a "Peace,
be still" command. Raising of the dead: Horus raised Osirus, his dead
father, from the grave. 5 Jesus raised Lazarus from the grave. Location
where the resurrection miracle occurred: Anu, an Egyptian city where the
rites of the death, burial and resurrection of Horus were enacted
annually. 5 Hebrews added their prefix for house ('beth") to "Anu" to
produce "Beth-Anu" or the "House of Anu." Since "u" and "y" were
interchangeable in antiquity, "Bethanu" became "Bethany," the location
mentioned in John 11. Linkage between the name of Osirus in Egyptian
religion and Lazarus in the Gospel of John: Asar was an alternative name
for Osirus, Horus' father. Horus raised Asar from the dead. He was
referred to as "the Asar," as a sign of respect. Translated into Hebrew,
Asr is "El-Asar." The Romans added the prefix "us" to indicate a male
name, producing "Elasarus." Over time, the "E" was dropped and "s"
became "z," producing "Lazarus." 5 Jesus is said to have raised his
friend Lazarus from the dead. Transfigured: On a mountain. On a high
mountain. Key address(es): Sermon on the Mount. Sermon on the Mount;
Sermon on the Plain. Method of death By crucifixion or by the sting of a
scorpion; sources differ. 6 By crucifixion. Accompanied by: Two thieves.
Two thieves. Burial In a tomb. In a tomb. Fate after death: Descended
into Hell; resurrected after three days. Descended into Hell;
resurrected after about 30 to 38 hours (Friday PM to presumably some
time in Sunday AM) covering parts of three days. Resurrection announced
by: Women. Women. Future: Reign for 1,000 years in the Millennium. Reign

vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into
that which is against nature: 001:027 And likewise also the men, leaving
the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another;
men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves

L. Bernays (originally published in 1928) The conscious and
intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the
masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who
manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible
government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are
governed, our minds molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested,
largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the
way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human
beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a
smoothly functioning society. Our invisible governors are, in many
cases, unaware of the identity of their fellow members in the inner
cabinet. They govern us by their qualities of natural leadership, their
ability to supply needed ideas and by their key position in the social
structure. Whatever attitude one chooses toward this condition, it
remains a fact that in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in
the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical
thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons-a
trifling fraction of our hundred and twenty million-who understand the
mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull
the wires which control the public mind, who harness old social forces
and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world. It is not usually
realized how necessary these invisible governors are to the orderly
functioning of our group life. In theory, every citizen may vote for
whom he pleases. Our Constitution does not envisage political parties as
part of the mechanism of government, and its framers seem not to have
pictured to themselves the existence in our national politics of
anything like the modern political machine. But the American voters soon
found that without organization and direction their individual votes,
cast, perhaps, for dozens of hundreds of candidates, would produce
nothing but confusion. Invisible government, in the shape of rudimentary
political parties, arose almost overnight. Ever since then we have
agreed, for the sake of simplicity and practicality, that party machines
should narrow down the field of choice to two candidates, or at most
three or four. In theory, every citizen makes up his mind on public
questions and matters of private conduct. In practice, if all men had to
study for themselves the abstruse economic, political, and ethical data
involved in every question, they would find it impossible to come to a
conclusion without anything. We have voluntarily agreed to let an
invisible government sift the data and high-spot the outstanding issue
so that our field of choice shall be narrowed to practical proportions.
From our leaders and the media they use to reach the public, we accept
the evidence and the demarcation of issues bearing upon public question;
from some ethical teacher, be it a minister, a favorite essayist, or
merely prevailing opinion, we accept a standardized code of social
conduct to which we conform most of the time. In theory, everybody buys
the best and cheapest commodities offered him on the market. In
practice, if every one went around pricing, and chemically tasting
before purchasing, the dozens of soaps or fabrics or brands of bread
which are for sale, economic life would be hopelessly jammed. To avoid
such confusion, society consents to have its choice narrowed to ideas
and objects brought to it attention through propaganda of all kinds.
There is consequently a vast and continuous effort going on to capture
our minds in the interest of some policy or commodity or idea. It might
be better to have, instead of propaganda and special pleading,
committees of wise men who would choose our rulers, dictate our conduct,
private and public, and decide upon the best types of clothes for us to
wear and the best kinds of food for us to eat. But we have chosen the
opposite method, that of open competition. We must find a way to make
free competition function with reasonable smoothness. To achieve this
society has consented to permit free competition to be organized by
leadership and propaganda. Who are the men, who, without our realizing
it, give us our ideas, tell us whom to admire and whom to despise, what
to believe about the ownership of public utilities .. about immigration
who tell us how our houses should be designed, what furniture we should
put into them, what menus we should serve at our table, what kind of
shirts we must wear, what sports we should indulge in, what plays we
should see, what charities we should support, what pictures we should
admire, what slang we should affect, what jokes we should laugh at? A
presidential candidate may be "drafted" in response to "around popular
demand," but it is well known that his name may be decided upon by half
a dozen men sitting L.. around a table in a hotel room. A man buying a
suit of clothe imagines that he is choosing, according to his taste and
his personality, the kind of garment which he prefers. In reality, he
may be obeying the orders of an anonymous gentleman tailor in London.
This personage is the silent partner in a modest tailoring
establishment, which is patronized by gentlemen of fashion and princes
of blood. He suggest to British noblemen and others a blue cloth instead
of gray, two buttons instead of three, or sleeves a quarter of an inch
narrower than last season. The distinguished customer approves of the
idea. But how does this fact affect John Smith of Topeka? The gentleman
tailor is under contract with a certain large American firm, which
manufactures men's suits, to send them instantly the designs of the
suits chosen by the leaders of London fashion. Upon receiving the
designs, with specifications as to color, weight, and texture, the firm
immediately places an order with the cloth makers for several hundred
thousand dollars' worth of cloth. The suits made up according to the
specifications are then advertised as the latest fashion. The
fashionable men in New York Chicago, Boston, and Philadelphia wear them.
And the Topeka man, recognizing this leadership, does the same. Women
are just as subject to the commands of invisible government as men. A
silk manufacturer, seeking a new market for its product, suggested to a
large manufacturer of shoes that women's shoes should be covered with
silk to match their dresses. The idea was adopted and systematically
propagandized. A popular actress was persuaded to wear the shoes. The
fashion spread. The shoe firm was ready with the supply to meet thee
created demand. And the silk company was ready with the silk for more
shoes. The new profession of public relations has grown up because of
the increasing complexity of modern life and the consequent necessity
for making the actions of one part of the public understandable to other
sectors of the public. It is due, too, to the increasing dependence of
organized power of all sorts upon public opinion. Governments, whether
they are monarchical, constitutional, democratic or communist, depend
upon acquiescent public opinion for the success of their efforts and, in
fact, government is government only by virtue of public acquiescence.
Industries, public utilities, educational movements, indeed all groups
representing any concept or product, whether they are majority or
minority ideas, succeed only because of approving public opinion. Public
opinion is the unacknowledged partner in all broad efforts. The public
relations counsel, then, is the agent who, working with modern media of
communications and the group formations of society, brings an idea to
the consciousness of the public. The systematic study of mass
psychology revealed t7 students the potentialities of invisible
government of society by manipulation of the motives which actuate man
in the group. Trotter and Le Bon, who approached the subject in a
scientific manner, and Graham Wallas, Walter Lippmann, and others who
continued with searching studies of the group mind, established that the
group has mental characteristics distinct from those of the individual,
and is motivated by impulses and emotions which cannot be explained on
the basis of what we know of individual psychology. So the question
naturally arose. If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group
mind, is it not possible to control and regiment the masses according to
our will without their knowing about it? If you can influence the
leaders, either with or without their conscious cooperation, you
automatically influence the group which they sway. But men do not need
to be actually gathered together in a public meeting or in a street
riot, to be subject to the influences of mass psychology. Because man is
by nature gregarious he feels himself to be member of a herd, even when
he is alone in his room with the curtains drawn. His mind retains the
patterns which have been stamped on it by the group influences. Trotter
and Le Bon concluded that the group mind does not think in the strict
send of the word. In place of thoughts it has impulses, habits, and
emotions. In making up its mind, its first impulse is usually to follow
the example of a trusted leader. This is one of the most firmly
established principles of mass psychology. It operates in establishing
the rising or diminishing prestige of But when the example of the
leader is not at hand and the herd must think for itself, it does so by
means of clichés, pat words or images which stand for a whole group
of ideas or experiences. Not many years ago, it was only necessary to
tag a political candidate with the word interests to stampede millions
of people into voting against him, because anything associated with "the
interests" seemed necessary corrupt. Recently the word Bolshevik has
performed a similar service for persons who wished to frighten the
public away from a line of action. By playing upon a old cliché, or
manipulating a new one, the propagandist can sometimes swing a whole
mass group emotions. It is chiefly the psychologists of the school of
Freud( who have pointed out that many of man's thoughts and actions are
compensatory substitutes for desires which has been obliged to suppress.
A thing may be desired not for its intrinsic worth or usefulness, but
because he has unconsciously come to see in it a symbol of something
else, the desire for which he is ashamed to admit to himself. A man
buying a car may think he wants it for purposes of locomotion, whereas
the fact may be that he would really prefer not to be burdened with it,
and would rather walk for the sake of his health. He may really want it
because it is a symbol of social position, an evidence of his success in
business, or a means of pleasing his wife. This general principle, that
men are very largely actuated by motives which they conceal from
themselves, is as true of mass as of individual psychology. It is
evident that the successful propagandist must understand the true
motives and not be content to accept the reasons which men give for what
they do. Human desires are the steam which makes the social machine
work. Only by understanding them can the propagandist control that vast,
loose-jointed mechanism which is modern society. ... while, under the
handicraft of small-unit system of production was that typical a century
ago, demand created the supply, today supply must actively seek to
create its corresponding demand. A single factory, potentially capable
of supplying a whole continent with its particular product, cannot
afford to wait until the public asks for its product; it must maintain
constant touch, through advertising and propaganda, with the vast public
in order to assure itself the continuous demand which alone will make
its costly plant profitable. This entails a vastly more complex system
of distribution than formerly. No serious sociologist any longer
believes that the voice of the people expresses any divine or specially
wise and lofty idea. The voice of the people expresses the mind of 3 the
people, and that mind is made up for it by the group leaders in whom it
believes and by those persons who understand the manipulation of public
opinion. It is composed of inherited prejudices and symbols and
clichés and verbal formulas supplied to them by the leaders.
Fortunately, the sincere and gifted politician is able, by the
instrument of propaganda, to mold and form the will of the people. The
political apathy of the average voter, of which we hear so much, is
undoubtedly due to the fact that the politician does not know how to
meet the conditions of the public mind. He cannot dramatize himself and
his platform in terms which have real meaning to the public. Acting on
the fallacy that the leader must slavishly follow, he deprives his
campaign of all dramatic interest. An automaton cannot arouse the public
interest. A leader, a fighter, a dictator, can. But, given our present
political conditions under which every office seeker must cater to the
vote of the masses, the only means by which the born leader can lead is
the expert use of propaganda. Whether in the problem of getting elected
to office or in the problem of interpreting and popularizing new issues,
or in the problem of making the day-to-day administration of public
affairs a vital part of the community life, the use of propaganda,
carefully adjusted to the mentality of the masses, is an essential
adjunct of political life. It is not necessary for the politician to be
the slave to the public's group prejudices, if he can learn how to mold
the mind of the voters in conformity with his own ideas of public
welfare and public service. The important thing for the statesman of our
age is not so much to know how to please the public, but know how to
sway the public. Good government can be sold to a community just as any
other commodity can be sold. One reason, perhaps, why the politician
today is slow to take up methods which are a commonplace in business
life is that he has such ready entry to the media of communication on
which his power depends. The newspaperman looks to him for news. And by
his power of giving or withholding information the politician can often
effectively censor political news. But being dependent, every day of the
year and for year after year, upon certain politicians for news, the
newspaper reporters are obliged to work in harmony with their news
sources. Propaganda is of no use to the politician unless he has
something to say which the public, consciously or unconsciously, wants
to hear. The criticism is often made that propaganda tends make the
President of the United States so important that he becomes not the
President but the embodiment of the idea of hero worship, not to say
deity worship. I quite agree that this is so, but how are you going to
stop a condition which accurately reflects the desires of a certain part
of the public? The American people rightly senses the enormous
importance of the executive's office. If the public tends to make of the
President a heroic symbol of that power, that is not the fault of
propaganda but lies in the very nature of the office and its relation to
the people. this is in or around TIJUANA hOBO rABBI no I believe in
one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, all things
visible and invisible; And one Lord Jesus Christ,only Son of God,
begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light,
being one with the Father; by whom all things were made; who for our
salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of
the Virgin Mary,and was made man; was crucified also under Pontius
Pilate; he suffered and was buried; and the third day he rose again
according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on
the right hand of the Father; he shall come again,to judge both the
quick and the dead; whose damnation shall have no end. I believe in the
Holy Ghost; who proceedeth from the Father; who with the Father and the
Son is worshipped and glorified; who spake by the Prophets. And I
believe one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church; I acknowledge one
baptism for the remission of sins; the resurrection of the dead, and
life of the world to come. AMEN.
