Stupid things religious people say

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

If you were a Catholic, you would be reading this book.



From the preface by the cardinal:

In the Author's story, there is nothing further from his mind than to consider homosexuality as something innate. This is another deception perpetuated against human freedom. There is no scientific proof of genetic homosexuality that is therefore either unaware or obliged. Even if science can demonstrate that homosexuals are born, the fact remains that this cannot reduce the freedom of the individual to his choices and behaviors. The teaching of the Church, an expert on humanity, is clear when it condemns sin, that is, the conscious and deliberate rebellion against God, but never the sinner. It is no coincidence that has filled the sky with saints and has never sentenced anyone to hell, while warning that perdition is a possibility and a danger.

Big news for you, Luca - you’re still gay.

Poor god, such a wimp scared of words!

I’ve used the expression, ‘By the great, golden, greasy gonads of God!’, and have yet to be thunderbolted. There’s a lesson in that.

Yabut, you were standing at your anvil, with a near-molten strap of iron in tongs in one hand, and a two-pound sledge in the other. He was afraid of you.

Fair point. God is stumped by iron. All-knowing, all-powerful creator and sustainer of an infinite universe, and a handful of rag-tag Canaanites with iron chariots stopped him cold.

Granted, being married to a proper Catholic woman is not much different than being gay: sex once a week, at most, on Saturday night with the lights turned off.

Or as John Boyne describes in one of his novels where a gay man is trying to marry a woman who doesn't know about his secret: “Because if that’s what you think, Cyril,” she continued, “you have another thing coming. I don’t do that with anyone. And after we’re married, don’t expect it on any night other than a Saturday, with the lights off. I was brought up properly, you know.”

So Luca didn't become non-gay as much as he realized that being married to a woman lobotomized by religion is also gay.

Have you actually met any Catholic women?

I'm talking about proper Catholic women. And yes, I remember a particular Catholic woman when I was around 11 years old who told me she was 35 years old and that she's a virgin and that she always objected to having sex with her boyfriends.

Proper freaks, in my experience. Turns out taboo is sexy, if all the fetish porn didn't drive the point home by itself.

Oh, please do fuck off.  I was raised in the Catholic church in a very, very Catholic part of eastern Iowa.  Your one encounter means jack shit.

[The Grand Nudger]

The idea of a 35 year old catholic woman lying to an eleven year old about her sex life is great though. Was it a nun, was she undressing as she told the tale?
