My psychiatrist is a loony bird
if I can rant and rave when I'm crazy on this bloog
well then dammit all if I can't rant and rave as a sober graduate student at the Pacific School of Religion
yep
that's right folks
your Goose Wrangler is getting a higher education, and he's not even getting high anymore!
But my fellow students
Stoned
Drunk
and they call themselves Christians...
and still sucking on the lie of separation from GOD
Well they must be High
because this place is a JOKE
Seminary!?
It's Kindergarten
I'm taking a New Testament Class from a Franciscan at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific (an Episcopal Seminary next door), and we don't even have to read the Gospels beginning to end! IT'S a JOKE! ARE they afraid that if they make the students read the whole document the students might realize what a bunch of BULLSHIT it is?! I've been reading it now, over and over, and Scottypants has been making notes...
and here is what it looks like:
The Old Testament just goes downhill after Genesis 1. After the 6th day God looks down and sees his creation and it was most excellent. That about sums it up. Why didn't they just leave it alone? Well instead we got hundreds upon hundreds more pages of a jealous, racist, angry, insane God, perpetrating atrocities, punishing the innocent, ordering the deaths of women and children, swallowing his own chosen up in floods and chasms, and just being an ordinary average prick.
Well, there is your God, and you can have him. Then this Rabbi Jesus came along to liberate his people from their sin, he came to forgive them in the name of a kinder version of God, but his people really didn't want to hear what he had to say so they had him hammered up on a cross to die. So the real lesson of the New Testament is don't question authority, don't knock over the money changers in the temple, don't challenge the higher ups, unless you want to get killed. So there is your story, but somehow this forgiving guy, by the time we get to the end of the New Testament, has been set up next to God in Heaven ready to Judge people and send some to everlasting condemnation, and some to eternal salvation. Well what the hell were they thinking? The Church survived. Judaism survived to keep it's people in the bondage of separation, in the illusion of separation from their fellow man by way of their supposed chosen status, even though we all know that we are all of us human beings god's chosen, Abraham was supposedly a direct descendant of Adam and Eve, just like the rest of us. There were only two to begin with right? Well that makes us all one big, discombobulated, and terribly confused family. And that big Jewish text (the Tanakh, AKA the Old Testament) survived with a tiny little addition called the New Testament, so the rest of the world could inherit this wonderful message of an angry, punishing, insane God, who needed to send his own son as a sacrifice, to die for the sins of his own creations. Thanks.
Once again, we are all Jews. Mislead, entrapped, fooled. God still wants us to stop killing each other. You can put any label on us you want. We are ONE HUMAN RACE.
Aloha.
