Rambling of a Normal Guy: The "War" on the holidays.

Welcome to another edition of Ramblings of a normal guy. This is my special column, where I go off on wild rants complaining about the things that happen and affect my (and ours) everyday life. Because of the excessive amounts of stupidity that will be featured, a large amount of inappropriate language will most likely be used. Also expect a large helping of calling out and "I don't give a crap". Rated M for mature, and read at  your own risk.



Ah December,

For as long as I can remember, it was a super special awesome chocolaty covered the time that meant free presents and days off from lame school.  Oh yea! Take that stupid school and your “learning” and “building a better future”! Who needed such trivial things when I could devote my beautiful mind (lol @ Bush for that) to more important mental actives like building a kick ass snow fort to destroy my enemies with. Yes world, even at the tender age of ten I was mass producing snow castles to save us from the zombie apocalypses. You're welcome. However a curious thing happened as time progressed, and as I grew older. I learned that life wasn't all about bribing Santa with good behavior and getting the shit I wanted. No, there was also the “giving” part too. You see, this time of year isn't just about getting free stuff, it's a time to reflect on just how much our lives really don't suck (serious try being homeless first) and to share in the spirit of giving and good will to all. I don't know about you guys, but this is certainly something we can use more of... all year around too. As time continued to pass, as so it always does, I had the unfortunate meeting of another thing that happens this time of year. It’s when the entire population of "religious" dumbass comes out to pollute the world with their meaningless drivel and all around bullshit. This year, and I am sure for many years to come, it just seems like any idiot with a computer is trying to claim some type of a victim complex. Search any media sight; blogs, google, twitter, Facebook, TV (or hell, even Fox, they love to cause drama), and you will always see at least one of the following two examples posting or rambling off;

Religious Nut Exposed: With special guest Nate Phelps (1)

The Westboro Baptist Church (or WBC) is an Independent Baptist “church” known for its extreme stance against homosexuality, other religions, and anything else that tickles their fancy. They are also known for their greatly offensive protest activities against fallen service men/woman and high profile aka popular people. In this special section, we will explore their hateful and distorted “divine” teachings and expose them for what they truly are, a hate group who uses religion for personal power.  

Nathan "Nate" Phelps (born November 1958) is an author, speaker on religion and child abuse, and an LGBT advocate.  The seventh child of Pastor Fred Phelps, Phelps has been estranged from the majority of his family since his 18th birthday. Phelps has since declared himself an atheist. He is known for his open criticism of the Westboro Baptist Church through literature, interviews, public speaking at atheist conventions and his website. He states that his father abused him and the other Phelps children and believes that the church is an organization for his father to "vent his rage and anger." Today I am now happy to present part one of the email Q&A I had with Nate Phelps, otherwise known as the No H8 Phelps.

And so here we are...

With the final movie of the god h8's series now under review,  this blogger finds himself recalling the past and how much it has effected him. All I need now is some prune juice, a rocking chair and some kids to tell "back in my day"... When I look back at all the traveling I have done, all the people I have met because of joining the anti-wbc movement, I see how this endeavor has allowed me to see so much more than the sheltered child of my youth could. I have always said how there is a HUGE difference between saying and actually being part of a religion, but to see it first hand. It's can be a beautiful and wonderful thing at times or like in the case of our cult, perverted to be a horrid disgusting thing. I have seen how belief and faith are what truly makes a person, not just saying the religion they follow. I have seen that while life does get better, victory can not be claimed just yet. Hate, discrimination, deceit and just not giving a damn still have a iron hold. So much so that no single event will ever change it. Remember back a little under four years ago, when the presidential elections where taking place? For the first time in... well ever, a black man was running for the highest office in the land. Not only was he running, but with a amazing use of his well devolved public speaking skills he actually won! For many, this seemingly impossible election heralded the end of racial hate. It was thought that with the election of this single man the long history of inequality would finally close. >_> The whole race card thing would become a thing of the past, and things like "you're black" and "you're white" would be replaced with "you're human" Yea right, this is humanity we are talking about! Despite all the feel good mojo we had floating around, the worse still pollutes it. Violence and misdeeds committed against people because of bullshit excuse of race, religion, ethnicity, national origin, gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation remains a serious problem in America.

Bible Verse use:

1 Pet 1:21: Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.

Romans 15:4: For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

Luke 16:17: And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

2 Timothy 3:16: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness

And child protective services are where?

There is a common bond that links all of the Earth based faiths together, a need for simplicity. Pagan's do not over complicate lives or teachings. They do not rely on “the great mysteries of some far away place” when the Divine is present all around us. They live their lives with nature, not against it and do no harm and do what we will. It’s even reflected in another of their many sayings “in perfect love and perfect trust.” In short, it means when one is giving ones self to another or to the Divine, on does without reservation, with nothing but love in their hearts and bearing no ill. No what if’s, do double standards, just like the Beatles, all we need is love. To fill ones lives with such senseless hate, it's considered a abomination! Why fuzzle your life with stupid drama when you don’t have to? This is why I am so disgusted already with this video, how could the WBC do this to a child, then display it proudly like that? What this cult is doing to this child, the hate they are filling him with… it unforgivable. Even worse, they (the kids) are seen as disposable shields rather than a life.

Bible Verse use:

Rom 1:21: For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Isa 48:11: For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this. How can I let myself be defamed? I will not yield my glory to another.

Isa 45:12,18: It is I who made the earth and created mankind upon it. My own hands stretched out the heavens; I marshaled their starry hosts. For this is what the LORD says--he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited--he says: "I am the LORD, and there is no other.

John 8:44: You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Psalm 76:10: Surely the wrath of man shall praise you; the remnant of wrath you will put on like a belt.

Amos 3:6: When a trumpet sounds in a city, do not the people tremble? When disaster comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?

Anyone else love how the video opens with "God hates idols" and her admiring herself in the mirror?

Perhaps ignorance really is bliss? When you (claim) not to know, or willing fool yourself, it seems the sky’s the limit! No one can judge you, no one can make the foolish claim of being better than you. HA! Simpletons! I’m kinda surprised the WBC doesn’t have that as a sign yet…When you are ignorant to the fact that you are doing ill, when you mistaking believe the world revolves around you, how could you possibility do anything wrong? After all what’s the point of following the evil vile laws of "imperfect humanity" when god himself has giving you a personal “you are elect do what ever you want” card! I wonder if the various family members of the cult are even capable of rational thinking any more. Of course when you consider how excited they where over the 9/11 event, I think we may have our answer. In today's video, we have host Rachel Mii attempt to persuade the viewers that god is the source of all happenings in the world. This would included the fact that every “disaster” is punishment from god because of what ever the WBC happens to be protesting at the time. They are still on gay people right? Or is it 7/11 and wawa now? Much like the previous installments of their God H8’s series, they do little to hide their ignorance and egotistic attitude.

The fact is they are right, and you are wrong, and there is jack shit you can do about it. Just like last time, and times before that, I will show you just how wrong they are.

And so the lady of Summer took her leave to rest,

In her place the Man of snow and ice came.

He would blanket the lands in both frost and cold,

Till the earth was ready to wake once more.

Me too little buddy, me too.

Have you noticed the change in weather recently*1? From a bloated nose to dragged out kicking and screaming headaches, you bet I sure have. Nothing beats doing paper work with a 12 on the earthquake scale headache. /sigh If at any point you where wondering what happened to me on here and on twitter, well now you know. That and a shit ton of work kinda knocked at my door... Have to pay the bills right? But enough about me, and I'm not really in the mood for a long opening, let's get to this video! Today’s video from the ever loud mouthed cult of hate is entitled “God loves the sinner, hates the sin”.The idea of God loving the person but highly displeased with the sin comes from two different sources, one being the bible the other a saint of God.

Bible Verse use:

Lev 19:17-18: Do not hate a fellow Israelite in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in their guilt. Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.

Video had to be switched, other one taken down.

I embed the above video (don’t worry, I’ll still have some cat pics somewhere in here) today because I think it speaks a lot to my discontent and sheer disgust of this WBC video, and well the cult in general. We have so many problems in the world; more than one person can ever fix, is it not time we come together as a whole and address these problems? Shouldn’t we abandon silly notions of skin color, sexual preference and even religious prodigious to work together to better the world we live in? I mean we only get one, it’s not like we can all move to Mars after trashing this place. Love can and will find a way, but only if we give it a chance!  Look at these kids, all of them from different backgrounds; you think they care what the color of a person’s skin is? What their faith is? If they are gay or straight? These kids are suffering from serious illness, and they still create something so ... glorious! How frigging amazing is that?!?! They create a beautiful world by light and shadow, and I am not ashamed to admit it brings a tear to my eye. The shear beauty, the... damn I could go on and on about them. But regrettably this little musing isn't about them, its about... not so happy things. Back at the WBC, spewing hate, purposely causing pain for some fucked up ego? Disgusting! This will not help our future, this won’t help anyone! It’s horrid, its- sorry, I seem to be going off on a rant here…

Me too kitty, me too...
