Jesus was a common name in biblical days. There were a number of men named Jesus from Damascus. This Jesus got together with his male friends, not for gender relationships but to discuss the problems of the day and try to solve them. If you are a radical religionist and don 't believe in the rights of gay men–what nature proves on each one of our distaff breasts–it is par for the course in the the game of war. Historically religion started out as fear, superstition and absolutist near-sighted faith in mythologies–what persuasions are still based on today.
Dear Ones,
Around the table as these gentlemen ate and drank no one mentioned the latest war and how Hebrews could combat it, as today Syria and other key places in the Middle East are in roaring flames during the endless circle of revenge among three Abraham related religions still primitively slaughtering one another–all originally from the same Semitic family.
It must be emphasized for those against homosexuality, the biblical scribes, both gay and straight, were writing religious books when men believed every time there was an eclipse a monster was biting a chunk out of the moon. This mind-set led to primitive works that were anti-gay, as the originators of the world said they were from only one god in a universe of many mythological deities and goddesses.
The burning endeavor of Jesus was to spread non-violent love versus terrorism. No one can deny mortal Jesus was a gentle, moral, humanitarian interested only in the welfare of children, women and human rights. His general characteristics leaned toward a nurturing feminine way of life.
Jesus the peacemaker was very creative in his thinking since he was not inclined toward any warrior god strategy or man-made aggressive dogma burdening humanity. And despite man's prejudices, all human beings start out as women with breasts. Underneath stuffed shirts of bigoted men are female teats determining gender, along with glands and X-Y chromosomes. Each of us have both female and male characteristics. It's called nature.
Jesus was an activist for peace. Can anyone imagine Jesus the reformer beheading another human being or torturing to death anyone who didn't follow the golden rule, "Don't do to others what you don't want done to you"–similar to words that Confucius, Buddha and Muhammad taught.
Yet extremist religious radicals later twisted and manipulated the words of these prophets for their own profits. They began to kill heretics–infidels who don't believe in their man-made doctrines–shades of the Christian Inquisition and its torture against heathens, the disbelievers. Radical Muslims are now copycatting this violence in revenge of centuries of religious arrogance and suppression or rival faiths. Retaliation is an endless game of war
Mohandas the great Gandhi was the modern world's supreme advocate for world peace. He magnanimously said in a metaphor, "I am Hindu, Christian and Muslim. He was an honest, strong man who believed what was in his heart. He was a friend to all. As one person he united the fighting religions as he practiced non-violence. And when he died these rival sects openly wept as they mourned his death and adorned the streets with flowers. There is no greater tribute that that–for the cause of equality, what Gandhi taught. No amount of militant medals can top that.
Jesus, a man of peace had a heart that was young and gay as he and his friends decked the halls in gay apparel as they promoted harmony throughout the land. But today Hallmark greeting cards changed the 1800s lyrics on Christmas ornaments to "Don we all in fun apparel, fa la la la la la la la la." And the public response was, "It's OK to be gay! Fix your dumb ornament!"
