Verse 16 My own private Idaho

Ive made a decision to visit Idaho for a few months. If luck is with me, the voyage will last a bit longer than before. No worries though, I plan on still ranting away verses for no one in particular. Mostly just an escape or vacation from this induced fake reality they have me stuck in. Hard to explain, but the insanity is missed. A person can only take the calming quiet for so long. Reality from a bottle cant be tolerated for ever with out a break.

Sorry for the coded numbers...but 4-8-15-16-23-42 does equal 180 and turning back sometimes is better than always moving forward. Time to return to what I know. This one is tired of being LOST without the others always around!

Verse 15 Insanity of Leviticus

The text of 18:22 has been translated as:

"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."
and another one...

"If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them." (Leviticus 20:13

This is the single most used text to promote Homosexuality as a sin, a deviant lifestyle, and ammunition from the extreme Christian right to keep Gay and Lesbians from civil rights in the world. My rant on this subject is to give you a different perspective on this Verse in the Old Testament of the Bible.

Definition of Abomination
# a person who is loathsome or disgusting
# abhorrence: HATE coupled with disgust
# an action that is vicious or vile; an action that arouses disgust or abhorrence;

Leviticus is the first of two (Exodus)books reportedly written by Moses during the 40 year walk out of Egypt back to Israel. The time-line is about 1400-1460 BC when this occurred. So basically 3,400 years ago.

If your still with me read these other Verses from the same book and let them enter your brain.

"For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother. His blood shall be upon him." (Leviticus 20:9)

"Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property." (Leviticus 25:44-45)

"Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard." (Leviticus 19:27)

"...and the swine, though it divides the hoof, having cloven hooves, yet does not chew the cud, is unclean to you." (Leviticus 11:7)

Heres my favorite...

"But all in the seas or in the rivers that do not have fins and scales, all that move in the water or any living thing which is in the water, they are an abomination to you." (Leviticus 11:10)

"They (shellfish) shall be an abomination to you; you shall not eat their flesh, but you shall regard their carcasses as an abomination." (Leviticus 11:11)

"Whatever in the water does not have fins or scales; that shall be an abomination to you." (Leviticus 11:12)

So in conclusion why is this crazy, yes I will say it, crazy as shit book that tells us being gay,eating Pork,seeing a women s flow,eating shell fish, and how to have slaves is so widely used to denigrate gays is just plain nuts. One has to cherry pick what one believes in this book. Our own prejudices allows us to use what we like and what we dont like. My main opinion is that if gays have been reportedly around for over 3,400 years then its not an abomination, its a normal occurrence in humanity and should be treated as such.

Just one more thing, Why when God was telling Moses all this, didn't he tell him the Earth was round and the Sun didnt revolve around us?

Verse 14 Love Thy self

"One tries in vein to find God or obtain faith in an almighty Yahweh. Yearning to feel unconditional love from him is fruitless, unless one is deemed worthy to do the same for thy self first."

Verse 12 Dream 3 Times

True Story...One night not long ago, I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the loo and piss. Sorry... no good way of saying that. Anyways, after finishing I returned to my bedroom to jump back in bed since it was still dark outside. Upon arriving to my bed I saw myself still in the bed sleeping. First confused and astonished as to what was going on. I concluded I was dreaming and still asleep, and then proceeded to lay down back inside my body, just like in the movies and go back to sleep. What seemed like an instant I woke up and it was daylight.
That being weird enough, the next night the same dream occurred and ended exactly as the first.

The third night it happened again but with two little twists. The first was when I got up to go piss I knew this was a dream and what my scrip was suppose to be. The second deviation was a bit more disturbing. Upon yet again arriving back to my bed,Startled by what my eyes were seeing, I made a hastily full stop. There was a dark shadow in the shape of a man standing between me and my sleeping body. As if the shadow was speaking, but only in my head, I heard "Not this time, you cant go back"! I instantly woke up very disturbed. I slept on the couch the next few nights.

Listen, Oh heavens, and I will speak, hear, Oh earth, the words of my mouth. Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants.
