In The Press (reply)


So the braying Bridgetown godbotherers want me “outed”. What, have me placed in the stocks or pillory in the village square for public humiliation or perhaps a stoning would appease your sky daddy ?

“Show him no pity. Do not spare him or shield him. You must certainly put him to death. Your hand must be the first in putting him to death, and then the hands of all the people. Stone him to death, because he tried to turn you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.”

You’ll find that in Deuteronomy.

You could put on your fancy white robes and pointy hats and set a cross alight on my front lawn.

Of course it’s only the fundamentalists who would adhere to such rantings and I’m sure you could cherry pick the good bits out of your holy book and dismiss the suicide, incest, bestiality, sadomasochism, sexual activity in a violent context, murder, morbid violence, use of drugs and alcohol, homosexuality, voyeurism, revenge, undermining of authority figures, lawlessness and human rights violations and atrocities.

Happy Easter
