Happy New Year!

 

Happy New Year! Today we shall contemplate in the name of god being played the ultimate Simon Says game. What has history bourne us in the name of god? What do the sacred texts say? A mating game forbidding carnal knowledge with family, friends, or even several acts with one's spouse. A legal game pronouncing the penalty of hell for several identified offenses. A lifestyle of labor if you want to be worthy to eat in community. Simon Says to stick to breeding with your spouse, obey or go to hell, and work until you are dead. In the name of God of course.

So mate with your spouse no more, no less. No knowledge. No family sex. Definitely no sex with friends. Family members should not even see each other naked! Why not? God says. That is what history reports. No exploring postures or sex acts with your spouse. Just breeding acts. No contraception either. Make babies. The goal of sex or marriage is to mate and make children. Why listen to this sex guide? The legal game.

The legal game in the name of god says violaters of god's law will be sent to hell. Disobey Simon in Simon Says and you are out of the game. Disobey god and you go to hell! No other purging of offenders will do. No wholesome penalty was presented. God created us so can do as he pleases with us. He can even send us to hell for not playing his game by his rules. Tyrant. Mean bastard. Self-appointed judge and jury. Call it what you would.

Work, work, work. That is our instruction for life besides mate and obey or else. No creating and enjoying sharing creations. No abundance of conjuring from one's mind's eye all one wants or needs. No miracle multiplying of loaves and fish to fill the world with food. Just go to work or you are unworthy to eat. Not working as long as you live means you are a no-good lazy bum. It is the curse of god on us for the first disobedient couple we are descendants of. The good book says so. 

That is the sacred texts report. Mating games, legal codes, and descriptions of hell may vary by the specific sacred text but that is the Simon Says games in the name of god played with gullible humanity. Whether played by god or priests serving themselves a religion to promote in god's name who knows? God of course is the creator who can do as he pleases with his creations all these religions teach.
