Uh oh!
Oh noes! The atheists and antitheists have wandered to the Curt Jester entry on homophobia! Look how ~*~*edgy*~*~ and rebellious they are, spelling “God” in lower case! My poor brainwashed mind can’t handle their crushing wave of logic.
I’m sure we can talk some sense into God.
I’m a huge, huge Beatles fan, but can’t stand “Imagine” on multiple levels. So this, even though it’s a crime against the general principle of song parodies and has about three times as many syllables as it ought to, really made me laugh. I can’t embed Vimeo videos here, but check out the link for video of the performance.
Imagine there’s no heaven,
It’s easy if you try
Imagine there’s nothing real but what you see
Isn’t that a cheery thought?
Imagine all the people living for todayImagine there’s no heaven or hell
And while we’re at it, no moral justice
No more consequences for what you do
You can cheat on your wife, no problem
(Everything turns out right anyway)
Wouldn’t this really be
A wonderful world to live inYou may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
And we all know truth is determined by majority
So come along and we’ll be as oneImagine no possessions
It isn’t hard to do
Imagine not being responsible for anything
Or caring how it’s treated
Life would be sort of like the public library
All the books with the pages ripped outImagine not wanting to own anything
Imagine not having the things you enjoy
So imagine not caring what you have for dinner
And no passions too
Imagine what it feels like to be a brick
Living as a brick for evermoreYou may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
So if we get enough people together
I’m sure we can talk some sense into GodImagine no religion
No Jesus Christ to tell us what to do
Just all of us sort of figuring it out
And everyone stopping being selfish
A brotherhood of man
Because……it’s a nice thing to do
Imagine all the people
Achieving an uncorrupt, socialist world state all by ourselvesWell maybe that’s a little hard to imagine
But go ahead anyway,
After all we’ll show God we can be brave
No-ho-ho matter what He thinks
Like the Mormons. But not.
I really have an issue with the USCCB’s pro-marriage ad campaign. Stable marriages are important to the Church and to society, but the issue is a lot more complex than the ads would have you think.
The real problem is the timing, though. One blog that regularly annoys me with anti-Catholic bile had an entry about it (linked) which, under the bile, has a point. There must be better uses for that money that won’t set the Church up for more ridicule at a time when stories in the news are not really helping our worldwide profile.
Note to self
When reading stories on local Latin Masses online, it’s probably wise to ignore the reader comments.
