Is Religion Gay?
I had an argument last night with someone about Islamic fundamentalism and by extension - and here is where he begged to differ - Arab culture and I said, "It's gay." Or rather, "It's homosexual." Because certainly gay is the wrong word in this context, "gay" being, in my opinion, a North American term chosen to represented "out" homosexuals by those same "out" homosexuals.
And I was talking about something completely different.
Now, I'll take a swipe at the other two religions (hehehe - I love doing that - limiting the insanity to three) later because I think they're homosexual, too - but I want to start with Islam because it so overtly seeks to deny women. And I'm not just talking about their rights, I'm talking about their existence. To my mind, Islam attempts to cover up women in a way that suggests the men who call the shots in Islam really don't like the female form to be visible in any way at all in public. This suggests to me that they feel threatened by it. And why would men in a culture where men hold all the power be threatened by women?
I'm just asking - why?
Because they're homosexual. That's why. Not gay - homosexual. I mean, all you have to do is take a look at any demonstrating crowd scene in any Islamic country and you'll note quite quickly that there isn't a woman in sight. And any time there is a woman in sight - she's covered head to toe in a shapeless robe. Sure, Muslim men say that this is because they don't want to be tempted to rape or behave otherwise inappropriately - but they WOULD say that, now - wouldn't they? Homosexuality is a bigger sin than honour killings. Of course, being raped is a bigger sin than honour killings, so... I'm sorry, but how homosexual is that...
To be fair, Christian Catholics also deny women - not necessarily by covering them up, although the official women in the Church - nuns - only recently gained the right to raise their hemlines a tad from ankle to knee - and they still wear a similar headcovering to that worn by Muslim girls in this country - but by segregating nuns in convents, out of sight of the men who actually run the Church, and by not allowing women to otherwise have any kind of visible role in the elaborate ceremonies favoured by Catholicism. I mean, why so afraid of being around women? I'll tell you why - because the men of Catholicism are homosexual. They don't want women around because they don't want women around. They rather be with other men.
Orthodox Judaism require women to shave their heads and wear wigs - the shaved head, I suggest, making them less woman-like, and that "two weeks unclean" thing is pretty clearly a sigh of relief for everybody that sex is out of the question for half a lifetime. Phew! Spend enough time worshipping and you could conceivably go for quite a stretch without being around a woman. I mean, who has the curly locks in Orthodox Judaism? Eh?
And since all of these religions view procreation as the only valid reason for having sex, well, that can really cut down on how often the male followers of these faiths have to do the dirty with a dame - riiiiiiight? Yeah. I'm right. That's why normal heterosexual men aren't big on Church goin'. Church goin' is homosexual.
I know, I know - I'm going straight to Hell. But what do I care? Heaven is gonna be full of closet cases.
