How the Gift of Life is an Offense to the Giver of LIfe

The doctrine of "the stain of original sin" is a doctrine taught by the Catholic Church. It is a doctrine that claims every human is born with the stain of "original sin" on their soul, thanks to the disobedience of Adam and Eve. 

First, God wiped out humanity with a flood for the effects of this sin. Then He had the bright idea of being born human, but withholding from himself the stain of such a sin. Then he killed his human avatar, since God himself, who is said to be able to do anything, is nevertheless incapable of actual death. So, he incarnated into a physical form so He could kill himself, and experience the process, meaningless as it is to Him.

Life, from this perspective, is an offense to God. The doctrine of original sin clearly demonstrates this, for it means that every "gift of life" God gives is a gift God Himself is offended by.  

Nor does anyone who receives such a "gift" have the right, or the choice, to refuse it. 

Yet the gift of life which unavoidably comes with the stain of original sin is so offensive to God  that nothing less than a life long devotion and obedience to a Church that claims to be "infallible" in all of its moral claims, even though it has demonstrated to be in practice no better than anyone else on the planet. 

And anyone who dares to repay the gift of life with such a sin stained soul, so that infallible church preaches, is deserving of eternal torments, and nothing less.

Why Christianity is More Unnatural Than Homosexuality

I grew up in a family that is about as homophobic as Phil Robertson and the Westboro Baptists, only they're not quite as boisterous about it; at least not in public anyway. They have also conveniently convinced themselves  that their homophobia is really just their unique Christian ability to "hate the sin, but love the sinner" (even though these very same Christians adamantly refuse to accept that people can "hate Christianity, but love the Christian").  The sexual superiority complex necessarily relied on by such Christians is, of course, blanketed beneath the lambs wool of the Christian humility of serving "God." They interpret their fear of those who are different, in other words, as simply proof of their intimate knowledge and love of God. And the only thing such Christians are more sure about than that their own personal version of "God" exists, is that such a "God" would never want people to be homosexual - no matter how ma...

Why Are Republicans Pro Life?

Most people don't realize that the Supreme Court has been in the hands of the Republican party since at least 1970! In fact, even in the landmark case of Roe v Wade that legalized abortion, SCOTUS was inhabited by 6 Republicans and 3 Democrats, and the vote was 7 to 2. One of the reasons is that the Republican Party has absolutely ZERO desire to win on the abortion issue. And that's because abortion gives the GOP a clear focal point with potentially unlimited organizing power. And it's an even simpler message to sell than religion, since we are "pro-life." (if that was true, however, they wouldn't be actively trying to repeal healthcare for up to 30 million Americans, nor would they be so pro-gun, pro-war, pro-death penalty, pro welfare cuts, pro- social security cuts, pro- drone strikes, etc). The Republican party officially became "pro-life" in 1976, thanks to Jesse Helms (R-NC). The only reason no serious challenge was brought within the pa...
