It's a Sin … and that's why we like it

For everything I long to do / no matter when or where or who / has one thing in common, too:
It's a, it's a, it's a … it's a sin. It's a sin. ~ Pet Shop Boys, It's a Sin
Sin is rubbish. Utter fucking rubbish. I am somehow expected to believe that there is some omnipotent being in the sky who, even though "He" is responsible for all of creation, mostly spends his time being a peeping tom. I mean sure, He is also supposedly concerned with whether humans actually do bad things, like stealing and killing each other, but when you consider the amount of time humans spend having sex (with themselves or others) compared to the amount of time they spend actually going around committing violent antisocial crimes, God must essentially be a career pervert who plays policeman in his spare time.
God: "Did she just stick that dildo up her ass?! Oh my Self … onanism and sodomy in one go … and now she's taking My name in vain …" [shifts in His seat] "… that's actually rather hot."
[angels start twittering]
God: [coughs—straightens Self up] "TO HELL WITH HER! Fucking humans … always so damnably embarrassing …"
… that's your Great and Powerful Oz, who I am supposed to bow down to and live in fear of? Really now? How in the fuck am I supposed to take Him seriously as any kind of respectable moral authority when he's equally as concerned with my sex life as he is with whether or not I torture and kill small children? And not only is this God a fucking nosy little pervert, he's SO susceptible to flattery that no matter how horrible your sins, all you have to do is say you're sorry and bow down to His "son", and you're forgiven?! Fucking hell! What a racket!
In short? Fuck you and your moral blackmail. Because that's all it fucking is … blackmail for the superstitious.
At length? It all started out reasonably enough with the no killing and stealing and lying business. I can get behind that. Not because of the Hell thing, but because it's just good to be nice, and you don't have to believe in eternal damnation to know that. The no shellfish/no pork thing was OK at the time … food poisoning must have been ugly back before refrigeration and microbiology. Even the whole sex taboo nonsense is fine, in context: Back in the day when humans lived in somewhat small groups that were in danger of being attacked by other neighboring small groups not only did it make sense to strongly encourage procreative sex above all else, but protecting the stability of a small community by protecting the sanctity of families was also important. Not only is there strength in numbers, but you don't want Bob stabbing Bill in a jealous rage just before the neighboring heathens attack.
But hello! It is 2007 … almost 2008 … there is NO fucking shortage of humans on this earth, we have enough scientific understanding of the natural world to avoid red tides and cook our food properly, and so really, the only purposes I can see for Western religion at this point are to: a. attempt to control people who are so fucking morally crippled they need to be frightened into being nice (and these people don't give a flying fuck about your eternal damnation bullshit in the first place, as far as I can see), b. give a sense of purpose, guidance and meaning to people who lack a sufficiently developed sense of self to feel worthwhile independent of their religious beliefs (much the same purpose served by patriotism, as far as I can see), and c. perpetuate the power and influence of existing religious organizations (much the same purpose served by most governments, as far as I can see).
Frankly, I think these are all shit reasons for trying to interfere in the private lives of consenting adults. You really think God cares that fucking much about my sex life? Fine, game on! Let the great cosmic pervert mark up my personal damnation scorecard however He sees fit. I see your "sanctity of marriage" and "moral purity", and I raise you 30 years of masturbation, a divorce, an abortion and almost 15 years of gloriously sinful unmarried fornication and sodomy (not necessarily in that order). If I end up in an eternal lake of fire, you win.
God: "Ah, another Catholic priest is raping little boys … *heavy sigh* Did he at least say confession?"
St. Peter: "Let me check … yes, yes he has. Just yesterday in fact."
God: "OK, good. He's still on the guest list then."
St. Peter: "Now, this little masturbating sodomite on the other hand … not a sign of contrition. Not one. Absolutely shameless."
God: "*sigh* Yes well. As I said, to Hell with her. Can't be bending the rules just because she's got nice tits, after all."
"Guilt.— Although the shrewdest judges of the witches and even the witches themselves were convinced of the guilt of witchery, this guilt nevertheless did not exist. This applies to all guilt."
F. Nietzsche, die Fröliche Wissenschaft, § 250.

3rd November 2007 at 1:48 pm | permalink |To say the least. ;-) I figured it was a safe wager to make, all in all.

1st March 2008 at 4:11 pm | permalink |See that's why I think God doesn't give a shit about sex. In the 10 commandments it says, don't fuck your best friends wife, don't oggle her goodies, and done lust after someone when you already have a wife. SO essentially, DON'T FUCKING CHEAT. WHich is a good rule to go by. Send those fuckers to hell.
No where does it say that we can't have really great sex with everyone we want! I thought God said to be fruitful and multiply too…

30th March 2008 at 2:54 pm | permalink |Let's say there *is* a large omnipotent almighty, creator of the universe and the everything being.
Do we, humans, who are really peons in the whole scheme of the vast and and enormous universe really believe that we could insult such a great being with 'deviant sexual behavior' or *any* of our actions for that matter?
That's awfully bigheaded of us.
