I am reading an excellent book by Elizabeth Gould Davis, “The First Sex.” In it, she describes society’s utter failure that stripped the divine and in it’s place stood the machinations of man. Man, even at his best, operates in forcing himself on society. To explain, I will point to the way man’s inventions have impacted society: skyscrapers – raping the sky with it’s projectile structure; even churches, the glory of man, have a steeple. Think about that. If a steeple isn’t a phallic symbol and the vast expanse of sky isn’t God’s canvas, I don’t know what to tell you.
According to historians the shape of the cross is, in fact, a symbol of intercourse with the lateral part representing a woman’s pelvis and the longitude, a penis, penetrating her. Since Jesus is supposed to be God’s son who suffered on a cross one could say, it represented Jesus or man penetrating the sky. Or you could say that the crucifix is a picture of Jesus/Son of Man, suffering as he rapes the sky. It really makes sense to me now.
The pained expression on Jesus’ face is incidentally probably what the clergy look to while they vandalize and rape women and children. As if God made them perverted and forced them to penetrate anyone.
I would like to express myself more clearly. The Christian Church is like a machine that is constantly whirring but going nowhere and producing heat in the process. People are encouraged to visit the Church on Sunday and add money to the machine so that the ministers can buy oil to lubricate their useless machine. Everything about the machine screams “struggle” and encourages people to use it as a flotation device while holding on to it’s cumbersome and jagged edges. People come to the machine with eyes low, begging Jesus for forgiveness but the more they pretended to repent the more they cursed his name – after all, wouldn’t God’s son have helped them not to sin in the first place? Also, when someone is drowning, would you hand them a cross or a bible, a thought or a prayer?
Men are wired differently than women. The average woman knows or has experienced being in the flow – an effortless state of non-doing where the divine expresses its creativity through her. Some men experience being in the flow through yoga or other skills, especially music. Women are playing a symphony with a team while men are performing endless guitar glory solos. I can confirm that when women think, they are considering the well-being of the ones they love constantly. This is what develops the flow that drives the cooperative movement of the masses. It’s a behavior that can be likened to the flight of starlings in tandem.
Men have a kind of plodding movement that tells the whole story. In the Bible, the man, Adam is cursed with having to cultivate the land in total struggle. He is kicked out of the Garden of Eden and forced to labor for his nourishment.
Don’t get me wrong, I think the whole Bible is a fairytale woven by someone who is bitter enough to think that God had cursed him because he ate “forbidden” fruit. If God was too stupid to put a fruit tree that he forbade it’s eating in the middle of the garden, I would imagine that Adam is past feeling guilty. I mean, who is the boss in this situation? Especially since Adam was too innocent to know that he was naked. I mean you can’t make a naked baby hungry then tell it not to eat the lowest hanging fruit in the garden! He doesn’t even have the sense to put clothes on.
A friend of mine quoted a saying that “words are a finger pointed at the sky.” Jesus was known also as the “Word” as was the Bible. Jesus in this scenario is obviously the accuser which is why “it pleased God to crucify him.” It pleased a lot of people who saw Jesus as their accuser when he said things that indicated that “thoughts” were “bad” or wicked and that he never experienced these things. He is the reason Christians are constantly comparing and judging each other. He is the angry, petulant, helpless, spoiled, and rich antithesis of what a loving figure should be. He wants to ascend to heaven but the divine said we don’t want you here. And could anyone please tell me when it’s ok to take a widow’s last coin when you are getting donations from more able parts of the population? Also, since when is God worried about your savings account? I think he’s more concerned about you tithing every week when you can’t even afford to pay the light bill. Come on!
