The true Beloved of God

The LGBT issue is particularly a hot sensitive matter, especially for the very religious - mind, not only Muslims as some might have imagined, but actually also Christians and Jews.

Staunch or devoted followers of the 3 Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) have been taught since Day 1 by their respective religion that homosexuality (I will be using this as a generic word for the entire LGBT community) is an abomination in the eyes of God.

Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination - Leviticus 18:22 (KJV)

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them - Levitcus 20:13 (KJV)

As we can see (just using the Book of Leviticus in the Bible as one example) the Judeo-Christian religions condemn homosexuals to death. I am sure the Quran has an equivalent but I'll leave that for you to find out, wakakaka. But just imagine how devoted Jews, Christians and Muslims would perceive the homosexuals.

And that's precisely what we have been advised to watch out for, by none other than Syahredzan Johan, political secretary to DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang.

Syahredzan is a great guy so do read his article in the MM Online's Most Malays didn’t vote for you, Kit Siang’s aide tells Pakatan in which he highlighted 3 important points for Pakatan people to consider vis-a-vis the LGBT issue, namely:

(a) The majority of Malays did not vote for PH,

(b) Those who voted for PH did not do so because they want Malaysia to be more ‘progressive’, and

(c) In Umno and PAS, we have two far right opposition parties now pushing the conservative agenda.

Thus, what he has been saying is to be careful of the still very conservative Malay electorate when it comes to liberal policies regarding the LGBT issue. That is, if you still want their votes in GE15.

Back to the good olde Bible - Then of course there is the biblical horror story of Sodom and Gomorrah, both of which were allegedly destroyed by their Israelite god for their abominable sins of 'suka-masuk-belakang', from where came the word which Malaysian have been most familiar with, namely, Sodomy, Sodomite and Sodomiser (though the last is more used by Continental Europe).

Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed by the Israelite god with fire and brimstone (meteorite strike???)

Lot's wide, Ado (Edith) turned back to look and was turned into a pillar of salt for her disobedience

alas, a woman always cropped the blame in the bible

Hmmm, tell me why the word Gomorrah hasn't been used, eg. Gomorrahiser? Wakakaka. But the Arabs have the word 'liwat' which came from the name 'Lot' (of Sodom and Gomorrah) or more precisely the 'people of Lot' (meaning the annihilated residents of those sinful towns).

But mind you, do NOT believe in the story of the Battle of Gibeah, also all about their residents' sinful love of homosexuality, which modern biblical scholars discovered probably happened about 300 years later when King David murdered King Saul and butchered the latter's entire family, and nearly decimated most of the clan of Benjaminites (from the House of Benjamin).

Battle of Gibeah
massacre of Benjaminites by Judeans 

Their murderers the Judeans (King David's tribe of the House of Judah) fabricated the story of the Battle of Gibeah (cloned from Sodom and Gomorrah story) and transposed it 300 years earlier, to demonise their mortal enemies Benjaminites as sodomites since 300 years earlier.

But then you have to question if the Benjaminites were so awful, why was it that 300 years later, the people of the 12 Houses or tribes of Israel chose a Benjaminite as their first king, namely, King Saul from the House of Benjamin. So we can see, thanks to modern-day biblical scholars, fake news existed even during King David's days.

And ironically, one of the best known story of homosexuality was that of King David (Dawid) himself and his lover, Jonathan (Yehonatan) the son of King Saul.

18 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

2 And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.

3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.

4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.

- 1 Samuel 18:1-4 (KJV)

What an irony that King David himself, hero of the Israelites and even modern day Jews, and Beloved of God, was himself a homosexual or more probably, a bisexual (semua pun 'makan' kaukau).

Should the clerics of the Abrahamic religions then continue to condemn the LGBT community even until today when their greatest religious warrior was a LGBT?

If the LGBT community are so evil as per the claimed assertion of religions (by only clerics, and not god himself), then doesn't that prove god has failed in preventing their existence and in many cases, quite brilliant talents?

Well, god has not failed but certainly it disproves the bullshit of clerics who have been having a hard time for millenniums trying to spin away King David's evil, homosexuality, treachery to his nation, adultery, murders, etc etc etc. And David was/is claimed as the so-called Beloved of God.

It's actually the LGBT community who are the Beloved of God, for they have been His creation (if not, whose then?).

KUALA LUMPUR, July 9 — The rights of lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders (LBGT) have nothing to do with religion, Klang MP Charles Santiago said today.

The DAP lawmaker said that his press statement showing solidarity with pro-LGBT campaigner Numan Afifi Saadan, who has since resigned as Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman’s press aide, is in line with Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that states all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.

“Unfortunately, many people have twisted my statement into a religious matter, calling me derogatory names. The demeaning name-calling and subtle threats are the same that the LGBT community endures in the country and in their homes,” Charles said in a statement.

He countered allegations that he was anti-Islam, pointed out that he fought “tooth and nail” for Rohingya Muslims to obtain citizenship rights, condemned their persecution by the Burmese government, and led a delegation of Asean parliamentarians to refugee camps in Bangladesh on a fact-finding mission.

“The government has a duty to protect the rights of all citizens irrespective of their sexuality and gender identity. But laws that work against the rights of the minority community create obstacles for the government to do so,” Charles said.

He called upon the government to decriminalise homosexuality and repeal all laws discriminating against the LGBT community.

“In asking for decriminalisation, I advocate for the safeguarding of the civil liberties of this minority group,” Charles said.

He stressed the need to be inclusive, embrace diversity, and respect those who are different from the majority.

“We need to understand that everyone has a right to live in an environment that is free from fear and hatred. As the celebrated Indian poet and writer Rabindranath Tagore said, let my country awake to that heaven of freedom,” said Charles.

Numan, who has publicly advocated for LGBT rights, announced his resignation from Syed Saddiq’s office today amid controversy surrounding his purported appointment.

The Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) lawmaker said in response that he respected Numan’s decision and that Numan would “always be a bro”.

Charles Santiago is absolutely right in that The rights of lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders (LBGT) have nothing to do with religion, but with the invincible prejudice and mafulat-ish malice of the clerics in their narrow misguided teachings.

Ameen.
