Reel Squeal

One of the persons to whom I have sent many of my letters and articles is the actress…….. Though I never actually received a letter from her (until yesterday), she obviously read what I wrote since she never asked to be unsubscribed (other artists simply canceled me off). I consider her to be a talented and lovely artist, though she was involved in some brief obscenity and radical feminist themes (which is a pity, since it demeans her noble and true feminine nature). I like her for sincerity and will continue communicating. I might be fooling myself, though and may really be just in contact with her secretary and not her at all. Anyway, this is the reply I received yesterday after I had sent her an article on homoeroticism:
“…F**k off! I hope you can take burning in hell, if it really does exist, because if you actually read the book you so highly praise called The Bible, you'll know that we were all created equally and those that don't think so...well they are the ones that God is disgusted with.
You've obviously never experienced true love in your sad little life. I feel sorry for you.”
Yes,……., we are created equally, but are not created the same. Sameness is not equivalent to equality. Our equality consists in our basic dignity of being human beings and children of God. God created an Indian different from a Black man and an Asian different from a Caucasian. He created a woman from California different from one in New Jersey or Boston. A  Jew is neither a Protestant nor a Moslem a Catholic. A woman possesses feminine qualities that are essentially different from those of the masculine ones in men. God’s garden has a variety of lovely flowers and they all possess the dignity of a flower. The rose will not deny her “roseness” just because she is jealous of the buttercup and attempt to imitate or become her. She has her specific beauty and particular difference which removes nothing of her dignity. The gardener too, recognizes this fact. Women must recognize and accept the fact they are different from men and that this difference constitutes their dignity and pride. They need not be ashamed nor feel inferior nor attempt to be men and deny their nature, but know that it is society that needs to change its mentality towards them and not vice-versa (trying to mutilate themselves in order to fit into a man’s macho world).

A tendency is not the same thing as an action. People who have a tendency toward gambling, drinking, promiscuity, violence, homoeroticism, etc. does not signify that they actually are gamblers, alcoholics, adulterers, assailants or homoerotics. Tendencies are not sinful actions. Science is still baffled with their genetic ties, and therefore those who feel such things should not think anything shameful on their part since it is pre-determined and does not involve free will. Moral actions only come into being when one is truly free to make unobstructed decisions, free of instincts and emotional blockages. The degree of freedom that someone possesses in order to make a real decision determines the culpability and morality of the action that follows. If a criminal puts a gun in my hand, secures my fingers and presses my index finger and someone gets killed, I am not at fault for this. If I freely seek a revolver at a gun store, load it and shoot someone I hate, then I am to blame. All homoerotics, in their conscience, know the amount of freedom they have when performing their actions. They can fool society by their sophistic arguments, but they can’t deny their conscience.

I have many friends who are homosexuals. They battle their vice and are extremely good and well-intentioned people. They want to be free of this oppression in order to live free and tranquil lives. They tend to be polite, caring, respectful, friendly, humorous, kindhearted, humble and charitable. I admire them for their goodness and sincere warmth as human beings. I know others, though, who are nasty, backbiting, insulting, hateful, spiteful, cynical, extremely selfish, intolerant and arrogant. These I have no pity for, but believe they should get a good spanking and have their ears boxed in order to show some respect and consideration for others. We must always distinguish, however, sin from the sinner. Homoerotics, as far their being is concerned, are good, but homoerotic acts are immoral because no human has the right to exploit another human to his personal and selfish advantage. Homosexuals can become great friends, if they like, but must never self-manipulate each other for their mutual destruction. The closer we are to God as His real image, the greater our dignity will be. The further we go from God and the image we are supposed to be (by all sorts of immoral acts and decisions),, then the less our dignity will be.

………. says I have never experienced true love. If that were the case, then I would not be able nor have the courage to write this article. It is precisely the love in me that spurs me on to help her with her weakness. Now my only sadness is to see her in bondage to this humiliating vice that prevents her from truly being her feminine and free self as an authentically fulfilled human being.
