God is pan-sexual

 
My girlfriend's friend's boyfriend posted three articles on facebook, and they are so entertaining that I knew I had to share them.

1. From The Onion,

"Transgendered Sea Anemone Denounced As 'Abomination' By Clergy"

"This filthy anemone, which exhibits both male and female characteristics, is turning our oceans' intertidal zones into dens of sin and perversion."  . . . 



which is a spoof related to these next articles.


2. From LiveScience.com, posted: 16 June 2009 12:02 pm ET

"Same-Sex Behavior Found in Nearly All Animals"

Examples of same-sex behavior can be found in almost all species in the animal kingdom — from worms to frogs to birds — making the practice nearly universal among animals, according to a new review of research on the topic.  

"It's clear that same-sex sexual behavior extends far beyond the well-known examples that dominate both the scientific and popular literature: for example, bonobos, dolphins, penguins and fruit flies," said Nathan Bailey, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Riverside.

. . .


3. From the SF Gate, July 1, 2009, an article by Mark Morford,

"Confirmed: God is slightly gay. "

. . .  [excerpt]

Because if homosexual/bisexual behavior is universal and by design, if gender mutability is actually deeply woven into the very fabric of nature itself, and if you understand that nature is merely another word for God, well, you can only surmise that God is, to put it mildly, much more than just a little bit gay. I mean, obviously.

But let's be fair. That's not exactly true. God is not really gay, per se. God is more... pansexual. Omnisexual. Gender neutral. Gender indeterminate. It would appear that God, this all-knowing and all-creating and all-seeing divine energy that infuses and empowers all things at all times everywhere, does not give a flying leather whip about gender.

Or rather, She very much does, but not in the simpleminded, hetero-only way 2,000 years of confused religious dogma would have us all believe.

. . .

[and another favorite quote from the article:

God's motto: Look, life is a wicked inscrutable orgy of love and compassion and survival instinct, shot through with pain and longing and death and suffering and far, far too many arguments about . . .

[and one more line:

. . .  as normal as a warm spring rain falling on a pod of giddy bottlenose dolphins having group sex off the coast of Fiji  . . .




Hope someone else enjoys the reading too.

Wow, that God is Gay article is a colossal monument to stupidity. There is such a staggering amount of bad logic and uninformed assertions I can't even begin to address the problems. As a tongue in cheek, limp wristed jab at the right wing, perhaps it is a bit amusing but that's about it for literary value. I wanted to engage in some actual debate on some of the misguided points in there but realized by the time I finished reading that there is no way anyone would take his argument seriously. Let me give one small jab. If we derive our morality from the behavior in the animal kingdom then absolute sexual freedom becomes the norm *and* so does violent murder. Hey, if I can see one species doing something, it becomes automatically OK for my species to do it! Wooo! I'll take your homo animals and raise you a wooden club to the head. If I sound ridiculous it is only because this author does too for using the same logic.


Only truly small minded people (of which there are plenty in the religious world, and the world at large) will be shocked at that LiveScience article. Educated religionists won't bat an eye because none of their ethical rules of conduct are derived from the animal kingdom. In fact most major religions derive their behavioral rules from a supernatural, metaphysical being. It is precisely because their gods are *not* of this world that they worship them. Quoting this article to support gay arguments is like quoting Oscar Wilde to debate about car transmissions. Referring to this science here reveals a huge ignorance on what religious systems of belief are actually saying. It is helpful to know what you are talking about before speaking.


Now the Onion is one source I always quote. Excellent writing there!

Matt, dude...




...AWESOME.



Thank you for that. Seriously.



Now, if only we could find a way to spread this to every person of every church.


Get them to shut the fuck up with their "Homosexuality is totally unnatural, blah blah blah..."


Again, awesome. Thank you.
