I've heard the argument made that the Pope shouldn't be compared to Saddam Hussein for insisting that the killing of innocent unborn children is wrong. The Pope, however, does not only insist. He manipulates large segments of the population in order to enforce moral and political legislation and thus force the people into a moral behavior regardless of their choice. Male Masturbation, by definition, is also the killing of innocent unborn children. Yet men of the clergy and common men continue to support the church's attempt to forbid a woman her God given right to make a choice as to what's in her own body. Why is it that all these men, who are not at all without sin, continue to cast their stones upon our women today? 
Is it horribly unfair to make this comparison of the Pope? The Catholic church has waged wars which led to the killing of hundreds of thousands of innocent people in centuries long crusades and persecution, the covering up of the rape of nuns for centuries while the skeletons of their murdered babies lie under the dust of the church grounds and the covering up of the sexual molestation of children by priests at the hands the newly elected Pope, who now rises to power to champion the legislation of sexual activity through political oppression and manipulation of his masses. Is it truly horribly unfair to make such a comparison of a Pope who leads such an institution today?
While they decry the fate of "innocent unborn children", do they really care about the people who are living in the world today? Or do they simply wish to champion the cause of those who have not yet been born, while they blatantly disregard every person's God given right to make such choices for themselves? Who does the religious front really care for today?
It is not given by God to the Catholic church, nor to the Pope, nor the Rabbis, nor the Muftis to make such judgments. God allows us to make our choices and asks us to pay the price for them individually, as all women who perform an abortion do. If the religious front chooses to support a corrupt system which takes this choice away, then it must contend with the wrath of God for its rebellion against a fundamental foundation of our existence, which is given to us by God: Our own personal freedom of choice.
When religious men decry the ending of an unborn fetus' growth, do they decry the same as they wipe away the semen which may have spilled from them, whether intentionally or inadvertently? Would they truly support a law to put to end their right to masturbate and would they like to see this law enforced by the local police? Or perhaps by the Pope himself? Do supporters of the Christian Coalition say this knowing how many menstruations and lost eggs bleed each day from millions of women across the world?
If the separate or collective morality of Christianity, Judaism, Islam and all other religious institutions possess what their religious leaders believe to be the key to improving the life of everyone in this world, let them set the example and lead the way. If they're right and the people see that they have a truly better way, the people will be inspired to join them and bring a better world through their faith. Unfortunately, however, this is not the case at all with religious hypocrites. Religious leaders of all faiths and institutions have shown themselves to be nothing more than deceivers who hide behind a pretense of sanctity, in the name of God, which they use to oppress the people. God, however, is not the property of religious hypocrites. God sees the evil done in the world in his name and is not moved by those who continually take it in vain.
The moral solution which religious institutions offer the world becomes corrupt when they attempt to legislate it through a corrupt political system. This example which the religious institutions put forth leaves so much to be desired that one wonders what it is they wish to accomplish by enforcing their deceptive morals on society. Perhaps it will allow the Christian Coalition to enforce, for example, the regulation sexual activity for common people, while allowing the priests to rape their nuns in the church basements, as the law enforcement agencies turn a blind eye to it. Perhaps it will allow the government to force everyone to attend mass on Sundays - or better yet revive the crusades and mercilessly slaughter everyone who doesn't confess that Jesus is Lord.
I ask all you supporters of the Christian Coalition: In reading the Gospels, which I'm sure most of you must do, how do you believe that God and Jesus Christ feel about the church? Please think about this a little and try to remember the scriptures as they were given to you. Consider the plight of Mary Magdalene, for example. Think about Jesus befriending criminals and the trodden while showing them love and forgiveness and inspiring a change in them through their own choice. This, while he denounced the political and religious authorities who persecuted the common people of his time. I now ask you to consider the church and the role it plays in the world today. How do you truly believe God and Jesus Christ must feel about the church today?
I know the Pope doesn't desire for you think for yourselves, all of you who support the Christian Coalition. He says so himself in his denouncing of "extremist individualism". God, however, does want you to think for yourselves. That's why he's given you a mind and free choice. So just for a moment, I ask you to consider God's will and not the Pope's. If only for one fleeting moment.
The evil in this world comes from the evil within the hearts of people. Evil does not come into the world from the essence of consentual sex between adults. It comes into the world from the evil in people's hearts, irregardless of religious creed, sexual preference or any other such things which the religious institutions persecute. Evil doesn't come from the secular world desiring a good life, just the opposite is actually true. Evil comes into the world from the oppressors who abuse the power given them in this life and unforgivingly trod the world with legislated false morals and corrupt government manipulations that enslave and oppress the people. Sexual activity, in and of itself is not an evil. Only evil thoughts and actions are evil. Pomposity and hypocrisy in the name of God are an evil and these are the calling card of the religious world. The secular world, with all of its sexual liberties, is far more kind, tolerant, humble and righteous before God, than the very best which the religious hypocrites of the Christian Coalition and religious institutions have to offer.
The pretentious sexual morality of the religious hypocrites of the world is one of the true great evils oppressing mankind today. Through it, the religious fronts of civilization point an accusing finger at the liberated sexuality of the secular world. The Bible itself, however, points to the opposite of this moral value as being the preferred and enlightened state for the collective family of mankind.
Before their fall, Adam and Eve were both naked and weren't ashamed. This is the highest state of human consciousness which mankind was in, before the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden.
As we enter into the age of sexual awareness in the world, we see a great deal of sexual innuendo, near nudity and a promiscuous indifference to sexual activity all about. The secular world has become indifferent to its sexuality through its liberalism. People are no longer ashamed to see nudity. No longer ashamed of their sexuality. We are now returning full circle, back to the highest level of human consciousness as espoused in the Bible: Naked but not ashamed.
Who is it then that continues to be ashamed - and why? Have all the religious hypocrites of the world eaten of the tree which God commanded not to eat of? Do they wish to keep all of humanity down in the pits of hell with the pretentious knowledge of good and evil which they espouse? Is it not clear how the opposite of the appearance of these matters is true? Is it not so plainly obvious that Jesus' message of love and forgiveness inspires the secular world today, while the church and the Pope wage the war of Satan and evil in their persecution of innocent people who have done no true evil?
God has never commanded anyone to be a Catholic or to pertain to any religion, of any denomination. God only asked that people love God and love their fellow man, even the worst of their enemies. If being a Catholic or being religious means becoming so judgmental about issues we don't yet fully understand, and not being able to love our fellow man, regardless of the choices they make, we then are faced with the choice between being religious or loving God. I say this for every religious denomination in the world, not only for Catholics. If one wishes to lean on a stable rock, then one must lean on God in truth and not on a church or a religion. The Catholic church and religious institutions are not a stable rock at all. They shall all fall, in time, just as the Temple in Jerusalem fell.
The time is coming for all people to make a choice as to where they stand with God. To look at our troubled world and make a choice as to how to make it better for the people who suffer in it. To understand that the church leads its flock as the blind lead the blind and to open our eyes and perceive the truth of the matters we once falsely held to be true. Jesus came into the world to set mankind free of lies and deception. The Pope, the church and religious institutions don't really wish us to be free at all. They do not like our "extreme individualism". They do not like any individualism at all, for that matter. They repress our God given freedom of thought and freedom of choice and attempt to take away these rights from the people.
The secular world must now prepare to resist this oppression with the help of the Scriptures which God gave us in order to see and show the light, the truth and the way. The time will come for everyone to choose which side they wish to stand on. In this battle for the soul of mankind, isn't it much better to make this choice through a deeper understanding of God's will, as opposed to allowing someone to abolish our right to think for ourselves? Isn't it better to understand the full truth which God has given within each and every one of us?
I make this appeal to all supporters of the Christian Coalition and to your sense of understanding. It's not the Catholic, Christian, Jewish or Moslem beliefs that raise the contempt of the secular world against the Pope, the church and the religious institutions today. It's when these beliefs are imposed upon society through corrupt government legislation that the problems begin.
The time has come for the secular world to demand from the Pope and his cohorts to remove their blood stained paws from the halls of legislature in Washington.
The Grace of God is with the secular coalition in its struggle for Truth, Justice and the well-being of the entire family of mankind.
