Leaving a Sinking Ship

Uh-oh, the Hitler Youth says that gays are destroying the rain forest. He appears to be wearing a dress for the delivery, too. It's all very Village People. People should not get all worked up about this. The Gay is more powerful than the Pope. It is an ineradicable vice because some people love it in the butt so very goddamn much. Many of them work for the Pope, if you knowwaddamsayin.

Meanwhile, I cannot understand the fidelity of smart people to a fancy-dress pageant of liturgical hokum and moral atavism. Is it the stained glass? I think that shit is pretty too, but unlike cock, it doesn't send me to my knees. The Church is a vast edifice of metaphysical gobbledygook and moral hypocrisy. Always has been. The "New Testament Jesus" is a fictional character, and if the Church wants to put him in a fridge and nuke him, that's their prerogative. They own the brand. I swear to you, the Risen Incarnate Son of the Tripartite God is not directing the temporal or spiritual acts of a two-millennia-old confiscatory hierarchy, any more that Yuri Geller really bends spoons with his mind or Project Weapon X really created the Wolverine.
