Boylover Jesus

Greetings peers: Am I one of the few people that theorize that Jesus was a boylover? Of course I could be called bias for obvious reasons. Much like the blacks say Jesus was black, the feminists say Jesus was an egalitairan, the socialists say Jesus was a supporter of the communist lifetsyle, and so on. We have a Jesus who is everything for everyone and so I conclude that Jesus, at least for me, is a boylover. I have thought long about this, and studied it within the Bible and it's context's and the famed Morton Smith hypothesis of Jesus being a gay sex-obsessed magician, and many other theological studies. I find hints in our Scriptures that supports the boylove leaning of our Christ while on earth. To note the obvious that Jesus can be found in five different instances with children and showing his enduring love for them. He is often seen in depictions with his arm around a little boy telling him "I will help you, I am here for you, and if anyone hurts you it would be better if a millstone sank him to the bottom of the sea." Only a boylover could have that much overwhelming love for a child. Granted other than a parent who else could love a child to the degree of a religous boylover? I have written before about the Secret gospel of Mark and it's connantations, but alas I see a Jesus who loves boys. What do we see today in our churches and synagouges and mosques? We see a wave of exposure that ministers are having sexual relationships with boys. The Catholic priesthood has almost become synonomous with boylove, but now we see this spilling over into other denominations and religions as well. We have orthodox rabbis being exposed for having boylove realtionships, along with Anglican and evangelical preachers. With Islams expansion into the west we begin to learn of the enourmity of man-boy relations in those countries (of course any society seperated by sex is going to have extremist man-boy love). To put this abstractly "why are ministers of the sacred having sexual relations with boys?" Why is it not girls? Why not men or women? Why boys? Why is that the closer one gets to the spiritual the more probablity there is that the person is having sexual relationships with boys? We have devout men like St. Anslem and St. Aelerd who are self-admitted boylovers. We have in ancient cultures religious practices which center around boylove. In the ancient Summerian culture of Iraq there was a religioous rite which was where the celebrant of the ceremopny would have sex with the dream-symbol boy, that which represents the power of dreams in the God-context. To put into modern day terms imagine in the middle of mass the priest has sex with the altar boy as if it were just part of the mass and people accepted it as just another Catholic ritual (instead being outraged and calling the police). Why is this? Why is that Orthodox archminidrates are sleeping with boys while yet they are married? Why is it that Conservative Southern Baptist preachers who damn gays to hell are caught having sex with a memeber of the youth group? And the list just goes on. Thus we ask ourselves why? Is it something to do, to put into Jungian terms, "that which is primordial more induced in the spiritual man than that of the superficial unexamined person?" Is it this "ancient soul" idea that says that we, being spiritual people, are more connected to the true nature of mans depths and thus unite with the deisre to fullfill mans oldest desire, that of boylove. In the course of the evolutionary process did somehow certain people became more attached with that of man-boy love and it became an instrinsic part of the ever living soul which continues on? I have found that those who are involved in man-boy love communities, and the members of these websites are usually more intellectualized than the rest of humanity. Why? Because we must examine all previous presuppositions about life. We have the Sartrian freedom of not being able to accept societal "virtues" at point blank range. We are asked, for whatever reason, by life to examine what it means to be human. Not only human but a boylover, and most of all a spiritual seeker. We are forced to think and mediaite and look for meaning, whereas most people lead a life which does not ask to be examined. We as Christian boylovers are the modern day tax gatherers like Matthew. Our own poeple won't accept us, and all we have is each other. But besides children Jesus was most sympathetic toward the outcast members of society. It is because he understands that we must lead the examined life. I am a convert to Christianity and when I first became interested in religoon it was through boylove. Imagine if I had to explain to humanity how this God of ours reached me through boylove. Everyone would think me a fool and decieved. People like us cannot accept this abstract distant being we call God that who may or may not exist apart from the human mind contruction. We are asked to enter the spiritual life so very deeply because if for no better reason we have to ask ourselves "God, why the hell am I a boylover?" Thus the search continues. We are the outcasts of outcasts. Jesus sympathizes with us just like he did with the outcats of his own time. He knew that there are people who are ten-fold more outcatsed than he ever was and admires us for that. We are living in a world that has very few ethics and virtues that extend beyond "as long as it dosen't hurt anyone and you do it behind closed doors it's okay." But one of the few virtues that are held onto is "we hate pedophiles." That is probably the one last common ethics among the masses. And that is a tradgedy. We are their last common virtue, without us they have no one to bind them. Thus if ever there is a world in which pedophilia is liberated, by some act of God, what left will bind man? Can we live in a world which there is no one to hate? The old testament is a book which in large part is based on hatred for the others. Can we finally live in a world in which all people are accepted with the one common ethic "As long as you don't hurt anyone and do it behind closed doors it's okay. Well I've said enough for now My main question is "Do you think Jesus was a boylover?" "And why are minitsers of the sacred having in large part sexual relationships with boys?" Why is it that ancient American Indians partook in boylove as a spritual ideal, and also in Asian cultures. Why is it that boylove is th oldest form of sexual and emotional expression that we know? And if Jesus was the Son of God, the logos, then wouldn't he be that which stems from the base of the human condition that being boylove. God Speed David Postscript: "And all the disciples left him and fled as he was being taken captive, but a certain boy was following him wearing nothing but a linen sheet over his naked body; and the guards seized him, but the boy escaped naked, leaving the linen cloth. Mark 14 50-52 When no one else would follow Jesus, his loved boy would not lose faith in the man he loved, not matter what the consequences were. |
