Gay tectonics

There have been some earthquakes in Israel of late and there's no doubt as to the reason. Even though there have been earthquakes felt at every square inch of the planet's surface ever since it had a solid surface, these are the result of tolerance. Israel decriminalized homosexuality in 1988 and has since affirmed civil rights for homosexuals and the beards are all in an uproar.

That's right, an end to the marginalization and dehumanization of Gay people has made the ground shake and we know it's true because Israel's own Religious Right says so. It's Yahweh, shivering in disgust and anger - the same old Yahweh who sat still and silent while they burned babies, Druids, heretics, Gypsies, Jews, Templars and scientists in Europe; the tyrant El who is the servant of evil; the impotent imp who occasionally destroys all life, but sleeps through millennia of slavery, cannibalism, nuclear warfare and even the presidency of the idiot Bush; the same shop worn bogeyman that has simultaneously punished and justified every war, every last human action, at least according to the ecclesiastical leeches who have sucked the life out of humanity since some proto-hominid man-beast figured out that it was easier to scare people than to work.

There is no freedom under the God these people have invented and precious little decency, love or compassion and if there ever is to be religious freedom it will be taken from the Religious Right by force.

They gotta go with what they have. Thing is, there are a certain type of folks that need someone to look down on, to discriminate against, to hate in order to make their own miserable selves seem somehow more that what they really are.
