Then something grabbed my attention as I was searching the Internet for religious nuts, I had an awaking while watching a video about people that protest fallen soldiers funerals. People call them nut jobs and all kind of filthy names, even I had the same reaction. Until, I thought a little deeper. I wasn’t about to excuse their behavior based on the fact that these people seem to have a lower I.Q. than Forrest Gump or by the fact that they may have experienced Stigmata. I understood that there is a need for religion. It gives these type of people something to do, something to focus on. It really scared me to think what they would be doing if they had no point of focus. What kind of carnage they could or would inflict upon mankind if not for some kind of guiding light to distract them from the realization that they have no purpose to exist. Then it all became clear to me, why and how they became who they are. I even started to understand why some dumb-asses blow themselves up in the name of Jihad, just as all the Jerry Falwell’s, Jim Baker’s and Profit Muhammad’s have figured out. I will tell you.

A long time ago, before education, cable television and the Internet, people were ignorant because they didn’t know any better. Witchcraft was against the law and during the Crusades, so was not being a Cristian. People were basically stupid and apparently still are. But we can change that and here is how.

What if I were to tell you that if I had created a colony in the middle of nowhere and convinced people to get away from the Right Wing “Call of Socialism” or the Left Wing’s “Spread the Wealth” programs? Do you think people would follow? But what if, just for a moment, you think about this. A new nation. One that is founded on morality, principle, goodness and everyone can get into heaven easily. I will give you an example.

If I were to take 400 young children along with their parents and cut them off from all the distractions of today’s society, put them in a self sufficient atmosphere. Teach them about goodness and morality. Do you think it would work? What if I told them that they were created by a being that contained itself with The Great Soda Can and did so that all would be able to share of it’s greatness? I would give them rules to live by so that we would have a just and righteous life, have them donate monetary goods to me in-order that I, their leader, would distribute them as the great one saw fit. That I was chosen to led them away from all the horrors of the world, into everlasting redistribution. That every time someone drank a soda, they would be rewarded. Do you think it would work? For those of you that say it couldn’t, just look around at all the different religions, with all the beginnings and tell me different. Children are brainwashed and indoctrinated everyday by different religions and they all say the same thing, “This is the only way and all others are false prophets.” They grow up believing in fairy tales that scientifically make no sense. I could even make them believe that if they sacrificed themselves in the name of the Great Soda Can, they would live forever; moreover, that if they destroyed the enemies of the Great Soda Can; they would rewarded beyond comprehension.

Mankind has been turned into sheep by religion and evil men. But I do not blame the evil men, there will always be those willing to take advantage of others. I blame the sheep for being too lazy to think for themselves or too scared to venture out of their years of repetitive rhetoric.

This is only the beginning of a series of articles that are aimed at waking people up from the prison that they have put themselves in. To free them from the bondage of evil men, books written by evil men in the name of a creator and to free their mind and heart.

For a heterosexual person, what if society told you that your natural emotions and love for the opposite sex was wrong and that you needed to be cured through therapy? Could you, or would you even want to be gay only because the majority told you that is what you should be? The religious followers have a tendency to think that people have a choice to be gay or not. So to them I ask, why would anyone choose to be persecuted and shunned?

I had a discussion, in length, with a Southern Baptist. I was trying to point out that if what you feel is natural, how could it be wrong. It was her assertion that sexual orientation was a choice. After some debating over what people feel, versus what people do, we came to the basic understanding that it was a choice to “Act” on your emotions, but it was not a choice to have them. With that, I gave the example, “you mean it’s not a choice if a priest is gay, but it is a choice if he acts out by molesting little boys?” After that, I guess you could say that we came to a point in which we could agree to disagree.

If society told me that it was wrong for me, as a man, to be with a woman, then society would have to find me guilty because I have no control over being attracted to the opposite sex. If I had to hide that or not pursue those feelings, my life would not be a happy one.

I can see why there is confusion though. If you’re a woman and you’re only attracted to other women, then why would you make yourself look and act like a man? Same on the other side, if you’re homosexual man and only attracted to men, then why would you make yourself look and act like a woman? As we all know, perceptions can mean everything to a lot of people; especially to those with tunnel vision.

I have a family member who just happens to be gay. When they told me about it, I had no idea because we had not seen each other in years. Even though I was accepting because I loved them, they wanted to explain what it was like for them. They said, “You know that feeling you get when you hold someone close to you that you love and you can feel the bond of emotion flowing between your heart and theirs? Like when you got married and you felt like your wife was apart of who you were?” and I said yes. “That is what it is like for me, I don’t see the outside of my mate, only the entity of who they are.” And with that, I understood.

American Psychological Association: What about therapy intended to change sexual orientation from gay to straight?

All major national mental health organizations have officially expressed concerns about therapies promoted to modify sexual orientation. To date, there has been no scientifically adequate research to show that therapy aimed at changing sexual orientation (sometimes called reparative or conversion therapy) is safe or effective. Furthermore, it seems likely that the promotion of change therapies reinforces stereotypes and contributes to a negative climate for lesbian, gay, and bisexual persons. This appears to be especially likely for lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals who grow up in more conservative religious settings.
