Faith or sword?

Am fascinated by the HooHaaah, Hoopla and “Manipulated Public Display” of this recent “visit by papa*” to Sydney. Hey ho, rally the troops of children. Is the Vatican worried that the people of Australia – long known as “independent” and resourceful thinkers – will drive a wedge somewhere .. heh.

Long story, I guess.

For a start, the priesthood on Mons Vaticanus had this tendency to cut off their own genitals in service of their “Goddess” long before Constantine – consummate politician, manipulator, and Roman Emperor that he was.

Secondly, the Romans never managed to invade or convert Persia (now known as Iran) from their basis of faith in the unknown.

And so, the seeds of the current conflict in the “Middle East” began .. long before any “New Testament” was written, codified or “doctrinised” some 1700 earth years ago; and became a “faith based” battle.

“Jesus” (the psychological indoctrination by the priesthood of Rome) versus “Mahomet” (the written thoughts of some philosopher from the desert tribes).

Gaaaah! Can't help thinking that there is something significant [apart from the “vulva” fish-head hats] in “The Red Shoes” .. heh.



[* as far as I can find out, Jeshua never advocated that anyone, apart from “God”, be the “Father” .. but that's a long and involved story. Also, can't really figure out how the Judeans became involved in the struggle, since they were a wandering tribe, intermediaries everywhere – hanging on to their own independent Faith in “God the unknown”; caught in the middle, apparently .. always the convenient scapegoat.]

Would it be correct to infer that you are not presently a practising Catholic?

I see those shoes and I keep thinking "Wizard of Oz".
Is it a coincidence that the stage play "Wicked" has opened just when Prada-Pope arrives...?

Fuck history, it's just a bunch of monkey crap in the ruts of time and space behind us. The future is ahead, we need to keep looking ahead.

I just wish they'd piss off.

Red shoes? Vulva hats? Pfff, that's nothing! How about those crazy Muslims? They go throw rocks at a big slab of marble and even the men wear dresses (don't even get me started on the women's clothing). Or those silly Jews with their funny little hats, not eating pork and sticking little bits of paper in some shitty old wall. Or those ridiculous Buddhists and their silly flags, toga wearing monks and giant statues!

Fuck the bogeyman in the sky God, the only thing that matters is spirit. Fuck the pope, fuck all bibles, fuck all that shit. I've been called an angel but it offends my soul when someone thinks I'm working for some bogeyman in the sky.

Fuck him, if he is so powerful he can do his own damn work. And if I am working for some bogeyman in the sky that cocksucker isn't paying me enough.

And in my heaven the bar is open 24/7 and full of fun willing women, so if you think I'm going to any other heaven you're full of shit.

LOL

Davoh said...

Depends on what one means, Vincent. If you are referring to the teachings of the big "C"'s on mons vaticanus .. definitely not, never have been.

However .. "catholic" is an adjective derived from the Greek adjective 'καθολικός' / 'katholikos', meaning "general" or "universal" .. so yep, guess that my beliefs are somewhere there .. heh.

We all understand what your attidudes are Billy B .. not necessary to be crude .. heh heh.

Could write much more about all this, but am not the most fluent writer.

Davoh said...

to where? wt.

Vincent said...

I've just been reading the "Cardinal Manning" section of Lytton Strachey's Eminent Victorians. Well worth getting from the library. Illuminating about Popes, red shoes or not. (Those read shoes, they are something to make one wonder, I agree.)

It also amongst other true stories, has a piece about Florence Nightingale.

Easy reading (all things considered) and hilarious, I mean full of deep irony.

Davoh said...

Vincent, you red (oops) read too much.

lemmi, would much prefer the "statues" erected, later, by the readers and followers of Sidharta, than any other "icons" .. enough said.

Vincent said...

Davo, I've hardly started. This is my weekend orgy of reading: several books all on the go. I haven't been reading enough lately, for lack of good books, and it has made me morose.

bbc, you dumb cunt, history gets repeated -by mugs like you, without the brains to notice it.

Vest said...

I have a post in seven parts done over about a week last Dec, some pretty stiff reading Re "What the Faith Industry doesn't want you to know".

Vest said...

Thinking out loud r.h you seem to have a brainless history of quoting filthy expletives not worth repeating.

R.H. said...

Read the comments. I used an expletive once, he said fuck five times.

Wake up to yourself.

R.H. said...

Blog persons swear to impress each other, thinking it's grand prose; it isn't.
I'm in control of language, having said fuck since I was two years old; the bourgeoisie have just started.
I avoid swearing where I can, which is most times, because it ain't smart. But if I have to do it I'm way ahead.
At the other end, there's boneheads thinking big words equal euridition. They don't. Truth comes in a plain wrapper.

Vest said...

rh, as you quote'it aint smart to swear, surely you cant be that smart to admit you do swear occasionaly, even if only once as you suggest; will still deem you a failure. Stick to your own linguistic stock, being smart is not indicative to cleverness.

Just get that feeling u r a lousy listener too, sucking an ice cube may help you.
Have a pragmatic day.

Every ^$&#@*^ year on Shicklegruber Day the bloke in the red shoes shuffles off to his local RSL in Krautland where he casts aside his pompous vestments to reveal him wearing leopard spotted vest (oops) shirt beneath his favourite fatherland youth uniform. then in unison with former cronies blurts "Seig heil" in remembrance of his former god.
Am I bitter, of course when several of them blokes became OZ cits before the fifties - went to Korea and get a #^*^rh^*^#rh*^ Gold card.

Vest said...

bbc. It is important you read my latest post, with your expertise you should cop a doctorate with min fuss.

Vest said...

:Its the Moira Shearer 'The Red Shoes' show".

R.H. said...

You think you're clever?

Try again.

You want an argument? Go see King Gerry, it's all he does.

"Truth comes in a plain wrapper"
Yep. Well done, Davo.
