Being Gay is Disgusting

“Of course I know the Ten Commandments,” I hear you muttering. “Worship only God, no idols, observe the Sabbath, don’t kill, steal, lie, cheat on your spouse...”

Yeah, that’s not them. It’s a common mistake, and before I did my homework, I, too, was blissfully unaware that the Ten Commandments we were taught as good, God-fearing Christian kids are actually not the rules that were called the Ten Commandments in the Bible!

But a little background first. There are 95 uses of the word “commandment” in the five books of Moses. Well, that’s in the King James, anyway. In the TNIV (“Today’s New International Version”), this number drops to just 10. The others have been changed to “commands” in any place that doesn’t refer to the “Ten.”

Significantly, Yahweh talks about keeping commandments three times before the Ten make their appearance in Exod 20. See Exod 15:26, 16:28 and, yes, even way back in Gen 26:5, where Abraham “kept my commandments, statutes and laws.” The TNIV changed this to “commands, decrees and instructions.” In a Hebrew Torah, it’s the same word in all locations. It’s easy to see that in some bibles, the translators don’t want any hint that “commandments” or “laws” existed prior to the Mt Sinai event.

Pat Condell probably wasn't hugged much as a child. He's pretty pissed at all things religious and has a rather large anti-religion following. An anti-religion following is much like a religious following, but with much less paedophilia.

In this video, Condell suggests that the act of a Catholic priest sodomising an altar-boy might be a little bit naughty, and in just four minutes, also touches on such moral matters as nazis, condoms, abortion and guilt-derived abstinence.

So Richard Dawkins was in Australia the other day for the first National Godless Heathens' Convention on Sin and Debauchery in Melbourne. During his visit, he participated in a televised panel discussion about how cool God is. In this video extract, a questioner asks Dawkins which orifice it is, out of which atheists obtain their absolute morality, since obviously the Absolute Morality of the Bible is off limits for them.

The professor suggests that we use reason, of all things, to develop our code of morality.

Obviously, Richard's totally wrong. He seems like a clever man, so he should already know that we're only treating women equally now because over the past hundred years or so, God has been subtly changing our hearts.

The funny thing about morality is that it is entirely subjective. What does that mean? Well, I'm glad you asked.

Something is 'subjective' if it is viewed differently depending on who is viewing it. For example, say I want to film my male dog shagging another male dog, like in this video. It's a fair bet that some of you would find that immoral and perverted, yeah? And that's a perfectly reasonable position to have.

But on the other hand, some of you might find the video to be thoroughly hysterical and so would not consider the filming of it to be 'wrong,' particularly if I am just filming the dogs' natural behaviour and I haven't specifically trained them to be gay dogs.

This strapping young lad on the left is William Shakespeare, a totally gay Thespian and playwright. I mean, just look at him! He married Anne Hathaway, possibly to hide his gayness. The dirty old man was four hundred and twenty-six years older than her!

Anyway, Willy once wrote, in an unknown play called "Hamlet," which I think was about a guy whose name was Hamlet, that "there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."

His point was that an event is just an event. Concepts such as "good" and "bad" are based on your own desires, upbringing and philosophy.
