A Culture of Selfish Homosexuality

I can’t get the thoughts out of mind. Anderson Cooper 360. To put it bluntly, my title would be Pedophiliac, Incestuous, Homosexual Priests. I understand the need to expose this young man’s pain, a youth in distress with seemingly no where to turn. His parents are divorced. He has no one to talk to. He turns to his priest. His priest immorally, selfishly, and hedonistically takes advantage of his new charge. Did we really need to hear the sexually explicit reflection of this activity? Does it do more harm than good to hear details of pedophilic crime? Then when one ponders the onslaught of recent news stories in America documenting similar occurrences, what are we to think of our current culture? From where did this misuse of the title of religion come? Religious extremism has been blatantly forced into our culture since 9/11. It is not difficult to understand, the misrepresentation of religion for selfish and often violent reasons. “God says we must kill the infidels.” Now must we must include our domestic sexuality, a God given privilege traditionally delegated by marriage, in this phenomenon? How could polygynous Mormons, depraved serial killers, and murderous, drug-addicted, pedophilic, homosexual priests subvert our culture in America? What has happened to our country that we have allowed this to proliferate? What has happened to our very existence that there seems no way out except to submit to such evil and heinous behavior or suffer genocide? Has hope of happiness, health, and prosperity been lost in American society, and why? Viewing the recent wave of lobbying for mass acceptance of homosexual marriage, warning flags should be appearing everywhere. Of course it is wrong to stereotype. Because a few bad apples have crept into the sack does not mean that all are bad. With homosexuality still a largely misunderstood social behavior, it would be advantageous to raise a cautious eyebrow. In the past homosexuality has been accepted but kept on the low down. The humility shown by the purveyors merited acceptance by society, but the current trend in most of our commercial sports must have influenced this act. Recently humility in life in general has taken a back seat to selfish grandstanding. Lost was the sense that we were excelling with a purpose in mind greater than our own monetary gain. In was the act of parading one’s own personal achievements provocatively in the faces of our competitors. Media has fed on this mistake, erroneously adopting this behavior as a means to sell their product. This was the beginning of the shallow and meaningless capitalism the rest of the world loathes. “Do you not mean anything more than yourselves?” In a nutshell when religious pundits say, “Any religion where God sacrifices His own son, is not any religion I will subscribe to,” should summarize the selfishness. The whole point of religion, the meaning, the soul is exemplified by this epic event. God sacrificing His only son is what puts human life in perspective. You will always know there is something far greater than your own existence as a human being. God sacrificed His only son, Jesus, for us! This is humility, a kind of humility the entire human race should reexamine and adopt, because without it and God, there is no future for us. Heterosexuality comes from God. The quintessential relationship of a man and woman is one thing that defines human existence on earth. Consequently the spoils of this relationship are the rewards we reap for Christian behavior. During the decade of the l980's, this was at the forefront of pop culture. The screen writer John Hughes best personified this American/human behavior in his successful films. Whereas 9/11 has cast its shadow of doubt on our cultural heritage, we as a country can not allow a violent, foreign, tyranneous regime operating under the guise of religion to attempt to reshape our personal values. If we are to continue to develop and flourish, we must keep abreast of our recent and historical cultural heritage and not allow the attacks of evil to subvert our country.
