How Big is God’s Hypothalmus?
For people who believe in God, it is pretty universally agreed that God is a guy. I am talking about the Christian God, of course. Although no one has seen him…at least no one that I know…he is generally depicted as an old guy with a snowy white beard and flowing robes. Our Father is apparantly a close relative of Father Time and Father Christmas. Maybe they are all the same guy. No one has ever seen any of them, so certainly no one has seen all three in the room together. He could be just one man hiding behind three screen names. He would probably hang out in a chat room called Dieties, Icons, and Idols Cafe along with Buddha, Mohammed, Zeus, and the like.
But many followers of the feminist movement think of God as a woman. Goddess. I guess that’s understandable. After all, it is said that man (as in all humankind, not just the ones with cocks) was created in God’s imagine. Naturally feminists would have a God with boobs. But not big juggy-type boobs that cause men to objectify women. That’s the God of frat boys. (that and the creator of the pony keg.)
So it should follow that gay men would see God as gay. Have you ever considered if God is gay? There certainly are clues that could lead to that conclusion. Think about it. There is no Mrs. God. And there’s no sign of him going out with a woman. In fact, he spends a lot of time hanging around with other men. Take all those angels, for example. In the Bible, all the angels are men. Only in Nativity Pageants, children’s coloring books, and Aaron Spelling TV shows are angels women. You never see mention in the bible of the Angel Elizabeth or the Angel Staci (with an “i”.) But you do read about Gabriel and Lucifer. Even if there are some female angels floating around Heaven, who was clearly God’s favorite?… Lucifer. The one with the goatee; The one who is always impeccably dressed; The one who hung out with Eve (the original fag hag) in the Garden of Eden just to get to her boyfriend who, in turn, ate the forbidden “fruit.” (ADAM: God, I was soooo drunk!); Lucifer. The one who hangs out in the steam room; The one that God kicked out because he was over his attitude. And who is going to try to deny that Lucifer in his Satan persona is really an S/M bondage master? Coincidence?
Not convinced? Then consider Jesus. What is a symbol of worship in Christianity? The crucifix. Jesus on a cross. Sinewy, 3% bodyfat, six-packed Jesus on a cross. Now tell me gay men don’t worship a body like that. Did you see “The Passion of the Christ?” I wonder which disciple got Jesus’ Soloflex after the acensioon?
So, if God is gay…what does God look like? Like the straight people’s God, it probably depends on who you are. Even so, the gay God wouldn’t be the “traditional” God (too old). He wouldn’t be Buddha (too fat). Allah? Too ethnic. You ever realized how many deities would never get their personal ads answered? For some gay men, God would be Calvin Klein, for others it would be the guy that’s in Calvin Klein, and for others it would be the guy coming out of Calvin Klein. The list is endless.
I guess what it boils down to is God is who/whatever you worship. Hopefully who/whatever it is something/someone that touches you. Spirtually, I mean.

Thanks for a great laugh!
Now I can’t get the song “He Touched Me” out of my head.

In my mind, God is Divine. Divine as in Pink Flamingos.

Speaking of Soloflex — that guy from the early commericals was fairly heavenly too.

So Tony what about you? Your thoughts on God?

Man was created in the “image” of God, not the “imagine.” Physically, Mentally, Emotionaly, Spiritually, like God. Male AND Female created in the image of God. It was only after He created Eve that God after that last signal portion of creation said, “It is VERY Good.” After showing Adam, as he named them, that all the animals had companions and that he had none; then Adam was put into a deep sleep and Eve taken from one of his ribs became his wife to complete the creation. They two were one, so that together they reflected their Creator. Together they were the image of God. Male & Female and told to multiply, procreate. Hardly a “gay” image. Gay relationlships are not “piped” right to procreate and thus could not have followed their Creator’s mandate to be “fruitful and multiply.”
Let me make it very clear, God sent His Son into the world, not to condemn but He gave His Son so that we might not perish. He gave to all the universe that gift to overcome what they lost iin Eden when they believed Satan’s lies mixed with truth.
That “all” includes gays. And “all” have siined and come short of the glory of God. Each in his own way. Because we were born with a “natural” tendency to sin, in what ever fashion, does not make it “normal” or acceptable to God when to accept into our lifesyle either the inherited or the cultivated tendencies to sin.
What is usual is not always normal. It is usual, because of diet and lifesyle and inherited tendencies for a man of a certain age to develop an enlaraged prostate that may develop into cancer, but it is a stretch to say that it is normal.
Well, forgive me, but I have tried to be brief, but if I tell it all here you wont buy the book. Thanks if you’ve read this far, Jim
PS He mentioned this genetic proclivity, you could say almost promised it: “I, the Lord thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, AND showing mercy unto thousands of generations of those that love me and keep my commandments.” It’s in the book.

Enjoyed the article.
The sum total, all in all, from beginning to end for me “Just” IS.
Thanks for making my research on hypothalmus much more enJOYable.
Glad Jesus lived and died…died and lived.
I hope one day someone will say that about me.

what is this?

Quite a few days late and many dollars short — I can’t believe I missed this post!! Quite good indeed!
What is the essence of God? I think He’s a regular old bloke who likes to have a beer and a good chat and just get to know us. And for us to get to know Him. He probably likes a game of pool too.
I think most importantly, He wants for us to take time to forgive, listen to, and understand each other. Forgive grudges and misunderstandings, and learn to love without condition. Otherwise, why would he arrange for chance meetings on some dumb social internet site for a guy from Missouri to a guy from Tennessee?
Mysterious ways indeed.
