Why is it that some people just feel a need to come to your face and say that your religious beliefs are wrong? Does it in any way change anything at all? I find that the most insistent and vexing anti-religious interlocutors are those who have no solid theological, scientific or even philosophic basis with which to challenge my Faith. All they have is guilt and the will to do away with it.

On Homossexualism

Until 1973, homosexuality was recognized as a disorder. After 1973 the matter became political and no longer scientific, so scientific argument was compromised entirely and I won't even go into that. Homossexuality was (and sometimes still is) regarded as a deviation of the natural norm. Frankly, it is isn't it? If we take away all the propaganda and all the moral onus that's associated with the issue, everyone KNOWS it is not the natural norm to be homossexual just as it isn't normal to be a paedophilic (distinctive clinical causes notwithstanding). That having been said, I personally feel that, unlike paedophelia, pursuing homossexuality is an issue of individual conscience insofar as it affects adult individuals who decide about their lives "conscientiously". No one has a right to PERSECUTE homossexuals socially just as no one has a right to IMPOSE homossexuality on Society or any subgroup thereof. This should NEVER have become a legal issue. I believe it did solely on account of interested parties. It is indeed hard to be a homossexual. I've homossexual friends who accept their inclinations and those who don't. Of those that accept them, some act upon them and others refrain. They all have a hard time dealing with the reprecursions of their choices. That I may have friends with different lifestyles, beliefs and divergeant sexual orientation does not mean that I agree with them on all their choices. I may like the person, respect their choices and still disagree. Likewise, disagreeing with any stranger about their choices does not immediately mean that I nurture any resentment toward them. Is that such a difficult concept to understand?

On all issues of modern moral controversy: It must be said that making something LEGAL doesn't necessarily reflect that it will also be MORAL or RIGHT. More often than not, it merely means it is CONVENIENT.

Modern Lies

The worst kind of lie is the one hiding behind the truth because it deceives further. It is more insidious and therefore more effective and potentially more harmful. We must keep in mind that a lie that is 99% true is still a lie.

The universal golden rule is to “do onto others what you would want done for yourself”. It is a good rule that promotes social harmony. So why do we keep trying to bend this rule to “have others do what you’d rather not do for yourself”.

More and more, I become convinced that noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good.

There exists no democracy today that can afford to submit to the will of the people without disrupting the affluence of banks and corporate conglomerates.
