2006 and society is as backwards as ever!

Is it 2006 or 1966? It doesn't matter because society is just as backwards as ever. Why can't we progress.

We are born into this world free spirits here fore a purpose. We choose our parents, our body types, our life style. Yet, when we get here society in general throws us many curves and challenges.

Is this why spirits come to earth in human form? It meet challenges? To test ourselves? Or to teach? Maybe a little of both!

Why as a human race can we not learn? Why are we so backward when it comes to gender issues, sex issues, work issues, homosexuality and matters of global natures.

War? Why are human beings so hateful? So ready to fight and kill each other?

And we kill for religious sake? In the name of god, kill thy neighbor and cheat our brothers and sisters.

By all means, hate anyone and anything that is different than you.

The Catholic church tells us to hate homosexuals! The audacity of it all! Black and white; right and wrong; heaven and earth. I hate the church! The church makes people hate each other and causes wars. God (the universe which lies within) would be so disappointed!

You know what I think? The church and bibles were created by human beings; men wanting to control and rule over women, children and men of weaker status so they created groups and rules and social status and built invisible made up moral issues to hold others captive in ritual regulation or be damned to hell.

I know far too many children all ages between 26 or younger to mid forties who are afraid to tell their parents they are gay. I'm sure parents are suspect, usually being gay is slightly obvious. Children are afraid of not meeting their parents expectations and therefore are very afraid to tell their parents.

Why can't parents be more open to their children? "Know that I love you and you can come to me with anything and you'll never disappoint me, even if you were gay" But parents are selfish and I guess afraid too. But, come on give the kid a break! Some kids are on the verse of suicide when it comes to telling their parents. I have never heard of a parent wanting to commit suicide upon finding out that their child is gay. So, you tell me, who has the toughest part? I say the poor kid who is born into the world and going against the narrow grain of society.

And why are we so boxed into rules and regulations regarding life styles and changes? It's all about control! Through the years the controls have loosened up slightly. Remember the movie "The Children's Hour" where Shirley Maclaine fell in love with Audrey Hepburn and was so ashamed she ended up hanging herself. Why depict such narrow minded strict social expectations. The message was - if you can not follow the social rules feel free to kill yourself. Differences were not tolerated!

Homosexuality was considered a mental illness - can you believe it! Yes, people it is all about a few wanting to control a majority of people.

And same sex love was forbidden and couples could be incarcerated if caught making consensual love.

What an awful sick selfish and self-serving world we live in. Just because some old white male got some brainstorm up his ass or maybe something else and he liked it but it caused him shame. So he striked out against his own.

When I was a kid, anything pleasurable was a sin. I say screw the church! How dare you tell me who I can love and who I can't love. All you do is make up the rules and try to enforce them through fear and shame; just like the government. It's all about control. You can't be a big shot and rule over others if you cannot fear them into submission and control. Oh, and by the way, people who are dominated and controlled will end up hating the ruling people and turn on them so be careful and beware!

People can only be suppressed, dominated, and controlled for a period of time and then they gain the strength to rise up and strike back so stop making fools of people and even bigger fools of yourself.

It's human nature for males to want to rule, dominate, boss and think they need to be teaching all the time. Sometimes it is very tiresome to listen to men preach and teach all the time; when they are no smarter then the woman they are preaching too! Yet, she sits there meekly letting him think he actually knows something. Such bullshit needs to stop. Stop catering to weak males who don't know anything any more than you do! Lady, get a life! If he can't measure up get rid of the extra burden. Who needs 'em anyway! Get a good education; a good job and you won't have to sit and listen to all the bullshit when he wants to buy a 42" TV instead of a much needed refrigerator. Some men are nothing more than big kids anyway; so why burden yourself? Dumb that load! But my you my mother was part of the problem telling me to cater to men; to make him appear smarter than what he actually was. Kiss his ass, because socially he is more important than myself..

This is the way I was raised. I was told to let him think that he won whatever game we were playing and let him think he needs to teach me everything he thinks he knows. Oh, and he has to drive the car and he always knows just where he is going. Thank god for seat beats and bucket seats! And young women use to sit on the console on a little cushion and risked her life just so she can sit by him. How ignore is that? He controlled the finances and rules of the house.

In the fifties woman had no rights. He could institutionized her and the children without a problem. Women had no rights. Now you dare tell me that the bibles are words of god and I will tell you "bullshit". Human males wrote bibles and rules to suit their own selfish means. I will never believe anything else.
