SWEET JESUS CHOCOLATE SCULPTURE EXHIBIT:

March 30-2007:

SWEET JESUS Chocolate Sculpture!

ATTENTION:

When that Danish cartoonist published a male wearing a SHASH (Arab head scarf), with what looked like a lighted fuse, purported to be a terrorist. This comic figure was interpreted as an insult to the prophet Mohammed. Violence broke out throughout Europe. Followed by demonstrations through the middle east.

Now, an artist has published a sculpture of 200 lbs chocolate of Jesus called (sweet Jesus), with his genitals showing. The Catholic Arch Diocese resents this sculpture as an embarrassment to their saviour.

CONCLUSION:

I have always said, if you are willing to condone FREE expression when it suits you. So long as the expression does not interfere with your religious icons.
Then you must be prepared to ACCEPT free expression when it affects your Icons too!

How Does A Nation Repent For Its' Wrong Doings?

How Does A Nation Repent For The Wrongs It Has Done To Others?

For example:

Britain has ruled most of the world for thousands of years, enslaved Blacks, Indians, and other peoples of color for centuries. And has never paid any reparations for their deaths, and degradation.

France has also done similar things, when they were a conquering sea and land grabbing power. And no reparations were given to her victims or countries either. Which were raped of their mineral, human, and cultural resources.
Spain too was a sea power in her time. Enslaved the Americas with her hired plunderers, thieves, and Christian devils. Killed the Incas and Aztec peoples spirits, stole their gold, and forced them into accepting Christianity as their Primary Religion.

Germany under Adolph Hitler said they were the master race, and would rule for a thousand years. They barley made a thousand days, before the were defeated by a coalition of Caucasian cultures countries like themselves.
Britain no longer ruled the waves. And could barely save her Bottom, after the pounding that Hitler's forces gave them at home and abroad.

Then came the advent of The US industrial power machine. Which said in no uncertain terms to Winston Churchill. Role over bloke, and make room for the new Britannia.

And the killing took on a new face, a new protector, and a new frontier!

Should SEX Education Be Taught In The Churches?

Should Sex Education Be Taught In Church?

Tonight on Paula Zahum's show on CNN, I witnessed a clip about a preacher and his wife, telling followers that sex is okay to have. A clip on this subject as it was being delivered by these two individuals was shown, and her two hosts, a Christian male, and female Moslem asked to give their opinion oabout this clip.
The Moslem woman felt that sex education is good, even in a church situation, if people are encouraged to abstain from it until marriage. And that even though it is a natural act, it also has to be indulged in responsibly.

The male Christian felt that the preacher is using this message as a ploy, to lure people to his church. And he does not have a building either to do this work. And he feels that this is only a fad that will pass, like so many others before.
This Christian failed to realize that Jesus never had any building either, when he was conducting his ministry. He used the highways, byways, open pastures, or anywhere that people will listen.

However, they both felt that marriage is the place where sex should be indulged in, and experienced for what it is, even the pleasure aspect.

CONCLUSION:

Incidentally, historically marriage is sanctioned by the church between two people. A male and a female. But it developed legality several centuries later as a necessity, to ensure commitment, legal rights after one party dies, custody rights for the children, property ownership, titles, and other personal belongings of the deceased.

The GOTHIC Personality Trait:

WordUP:

The GOTHIC Personality:

Have you ever wondered why so many predominantly White youths seem interested in Gothic art, art forms, and the Gothic genre.

Well, the word GOTHIC is defined as those things related to doom, gloom, the macabre, superstitions, the dark, sinister, and grotesque.

And why does so many White youths, both male and female find it so appealing, to want to live a certain life style that says graphically, that they are Gothic believers, contributors, and supporters of things Gothic.

Does this mentality evolve subtly within the minds of this particular group, or is it something that was learned, or adopted?

Whatever it is, I am always interested to know why so many youths are drawn to this seeming life style.
