Red Birds Turn Into Yellow Dogs

Lo and behold. God's law changed over the weekend. Read about it here.

I'm glad for the little girl and her family if this means something to them. The important thing here isn't abortion rights or rule of civil law. It's all about the transparency of religious hypocrisy.

What this proves is that there is no absolute law of God, at least when it comes to the Catholic Church. First, theology is about controlling the people. When they rebel against that control, punitive measures are taken. If punitive measures are not effective and the people continue in their rebellion, it becomes a problem of retreat and retrench. Damage control and public relations. No thunder. No burning bush. Not even any thumbscrews. Just impotent old men. Blustering in the rapidly cooling twilight.

They cringe. They whine. They slaver. And back down. One unsteady step at a time. The will of God dwells in the plaque clogged, neural synapses of an octogenarian, ex Hitler youth poofter, in a frilly, brocaded, satin mu mu and red patent leather slippers. Eyes sunken and unfocused. Slack jawed. Drooling.
