My pen-pest, Luce, gave me some
rambling advice last week regarding the entire hubbub going on in the world. He
touched on Pope Francis, gay marriage, the end of the world, the Planet Nibiru
and the ancient question of tasting evil. He writes:
Dear Deacon:
I am so happy that the world is
evolving the way it is. I like the way Pope Francis says something and it seems
to morph into what I like. I like the fact that it upsets some and gladdens
others. Isn’t that the essence of fun? It’s like a great food fight.
The supreme court is very much “dead
on” regarding allowing people to be happy in their choice of life partners and
I love the fact that the Church, while seeming to hold to its antiquated stand,
embraces the rainbow of love that you all have wanted since my first
conversation with Eve in the garden. You know, as Pope Francis said, “who am I
to judge!” I’ll be in Philly when he comes hoping his words will continue to be
taken hostage for the good of my oppressed. I’ll bet you didn’t know the
oppressed really belong to me.
In my first conversations with
your ancestors (before they were rudely evicted from Eden) I told them they had
a right to know the taste of both good and evil. Ever had sweet and sower pork?
Ever had grapes in a chicken sandwich? Well that’s how it is with the tastes of
good and evil. Good and Evil are like "soup and sandwich, anytime or weather; soup and sandwich go together," as the song goes. In the end evil is necessary to make something taste good. Can’t
you see?
And now there is all this talk
that because the Supreme Court made its decision to hold County Clerks across
the nation “to the fire,” the end of the world is at hand. I love all this
hyper talk about the Planet Nibiru and the prophecies of the coming doom. The
YouTube videos of the coming doomsday are boring compared to watching all the
unrest and squirming going on of all the new agers and church groups watching
the propaganda of the coming end of the world. There are YouTube videos on the
coming “Three Days of Darkness,” “Planet Nibiru’s planned trajectory from
behind the sun and how we will see the “two suns” soon on the horizon. You can
tell I love YouTube.
By the way, the end of the world
has nothing to do with gay marriage or global warming, with President Obama, or
Donald Trump for that matter – I do love that man by the way. He is so honest
and y’all are just itching for true honesty in politicians. Trump appropriately
has found the scapegoat that will blossom into a national catharsis. Beating on
the immigrant, especially those from Mexico will catalyze support across the
board for a future president who has no religious convictions that he’s aware
of -- My kind of guy.
Sorry for my ramblings Deacon,
but there is lots to contemplate. Deacon, you can’t be serious about “hating”
the way you do. If you continue to teach what the Church teaches about gay
marriage, you are a “hater.” You will lose lots of friends and eventually, no
one will listen to you much less read your column.
Come over to my side. By loving the
activity your church advocates against, you will love those who do those
things. Love what you call sin; and voila, you will love the sinner too! Don’t
you see the logic?
You can’t have happiness inside a
jail cell, especially if its for some ridiculous pietistic and even
hypocritical stunt to promote some political moral standard. Bend a little;
compromise a little. You can taste good even in the midst of what others call bad.
All you have to do is change the meaning of words – that’s all it takes. My
point is this: Sacrifice is a bad word. Compromise is a good word. Sacrifice
brings things into conflict; Compromise leads to peace. So Deacon, stop hating.
Remember, there is no evil other than your stubbornness to evolve into a “total
modern being”. Blessings and curses
haha! Your True Friend -- Luce
To the Reader: My only response
is, run the other way --- considering the source.
