Pope Benedict continues to show why modern day religion isn’t about GOD, or about keeping one’s soul safe. It is about power, about wielding unlimited power so as to insure that the wealth of his institution continues to prosper, and grow. His delight is evident, at the divisions growing among the Anglicans, yet it worries him too, as people continue to find God’s path, despite his efforts to hide it, to oppose it.

It is erev Yom Kippur, and I sit back and wonder about all those who I may have hurt, have slighted, and then I see stories about people like Phelps, Richardson, Dungy, Pace and so on, and I wonder, can mankind really afford to be paying this steep of a price for Free Will? I read about kids who are more likely to be bullied and abused if they are gay, than not, then I hear people say being Gay is a choice and I cringe. I wonder if the kid being tormented at school, would agree? I question how could any sane person believe that someone would choose to be vilified, humiliated, hated, and treated like dirt, as many homosexuals are in American Schools today, and then I thank GOD that I was born in Canada.

Don’t laugh. With a government right now that secretly targets its own citizens, that admits to running secret prisons and to illegal wire tapping of its population. It isn’t a huge stretch to see this happening as well. I mean look at the rush to pass amendments to deny equal rights already? Look at how so many Religious Leaders are leading the charge into Court to deny equality to Gays. Hell look at the recent firings of federal prosecutors ( see comment ‘Gonzales In Hotseat’) simply because they wouldn’t back off targeting Republican Friends in their criminial investigations.

To me, it sends a signal of why Gay Rights is important. Too many young men and woman have hidden who they truly are. The result is that one lives a lie, and somehow I just don’t see that as being beneficial to anyone. GOD made us who we are, so why should we hide it? Because it might cost us money? Power?

In Iraq you have genocide happening, and not like the world is unused to this type of warfare. After all there was Bosnia not that long ago, or how about Darfur? Hey, we can’t forget Rwanda can we? All this in the name of GOD, so I wonder… when did GOD become the GOD OF WAR?

What we, the world, has done for 58 years now hasn’t worked. When will we be honest enough to realize this and look for alternative ways to solve the problems of the region? When we will be honest enough to admit we goofed and start addressing the real issues?

Thing is, in all of my reading of the Bible, Koran, I simply don’t find anywhere where God himself says, that we gays & lesbians are evil or godless. In fact I find more proof than not, that God is the creator of all mankind, which makes him my creator too, not just Stephen Harper or the new leader of the Southern Baptists.
