Mafia Lifestyle

Let's face it, we all have an almost morbid curiosity and fascination about the lifestyle of many people. Some are arrested as peeping toms, more are glued to the idol in your living room called the television set. The soap operas, the National Enquirer, People, etc., all try to give us a glimpse into the lives of the “rich and famous” and even the poor and depraved.

From the mansion on the hill to the hut in the valley, we have a wonderment concerning how other people live their lives. There is no such thing as a normal person, a normal couple, a normal home. The greatest adjustment in the life of a young married couple is to weave a new fabric of home life from the experiences of their families, their friends, their education. The foreign Christian missionary has trouble reconciling his servitude to the early martyrs who plowed through the foliage in preparation for him. He, likewise, cannot understand, at least this is my thinking, how he can give up so much while the elegant clergy, basking in the splendors of a great Cathedral, and well decorated manse lives in the bounty which God provides for both. It was reported this week that Franklin Graham, son of evangelist Billy Graham, has been receiving $1.2 million dollars a year in salary.

We hear the moans and groans of ministries pleading for funds and relating their hard work, troubles, trials and temptations (1 Peter 1:7). It is strange that the sons of these great preachers, if they have witnessed the despair and depression of their fathers, would want to follow in their footsteps. But, they always do, think about it. Billy Graham, Franklin Graham, Oral Roberts, Richard Roberts, Robert Shuller, Robert Jr., Martin Luther King, Martin Luther King Jr., Pat Robertson, Gordon Robertson, Jimmy Swaggart, Donnie Swaggart, Jimmie Baker, Jay Baker, etc., etc., etc. If life were so terrible in these ministries, if hunger were involved, I doubt these sons would follow their fathers even if they had the love for Christ, which they should have and must have, to be successful.

Of great embarrassment to the world's largest religion, the Catholic Church, has been the pedophilia of priest and the inconsistent lifestyles involving many priests such as the recent exposure of Pastor Andrew Trapp of St. Michael's Church in South Carolina who won $100,000 playing poker on a television game show. I actually heard him say in an interview, that he was “a good witness to those with whom he made contact”. He stated that he learned to play poker while a student at the seminary. That they spent most of their time playing pool and poker. Perhaps this is the reason in seminary-season and pastor-season Satan has so little difficulty in deceiving not only Christians but pretending Christians and lost sinners.

On the battle field, there is no time for relaxation. Satan is always on the job and God has no hands but our hands. A good example of what the Christian Church is up against is shown in the following “The Gay Manifesto” first printed in the Congressional Record in February 1987. Please read this and weep because it has so much truth even though it was presented as a satire. The truth is the truth whether anyone believes it or not. The past twenty years has brought out the truth of the following statement:

The Gay Manifesto

We shall sodomize your sons, emblems of your feeble masculinity, of your shallow dreams and vulgar lies. We shall seduce them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasiums, in your locker rooms, in your sports arenas, in your seminaries, in your youth groups, in your movie theater bathrooms, in your army bunkhouses, in your truck stops, in your all male clubs, in your houses of Congress, wherever men are with men together. Your sons shall become our minions and do our bidding. They will be recast in our image. They will come to crave and adore us.

Women, you cry for freedom. You say you are no longer satisfied with men; they make you unhappy. We, connoisseurs of the masculine face, the masculine physique, shall take your men from you then. We will amuse them; we will instruct them; we will embrace them when they weep. Women, you say you wish to live with each other instead of with men. Then go and be with each other. We shall give your men pleasures they have never known because we are foremost men too, and only one man knows how to truly please another man; only one man can understand the depth and feeling, the mind and body of another man.

All laws banning homosexual activity will be revoked. Instead, legislation shall be passed which engenders love between men.

All homosexuals must stand together as brothers; we must be united artistically, philosophically, socially, politically and financially. We will triumph only when we present a common face to the vicious heterosexual enemy.

If you dare to cry faggot, fairy, queer, at us, we will stab you in your cowardly hearts and defile your dead, puny bodies.

We shall write poems of the love between men; we shall stage plays in which man openly caresses man; we shall make films about the love between heroic men which will replace the cheap, superficial, sentimental, insipid, juvenile, heterosexual infatuations presently dominating your cinema screens. We shall sculpt statues of beautiful young men, of bold athletes which will be placed in your parks, your squares, your plazas. The museums of the world will be filled only with paintings of graceful, naked lads.

Our writers and artists will make love between men fashionable and de rigueur, and we will succeed because we are adept at setting styles. We will eliminate heterosexual liaisons through usage of the devices of wit and ridicule, devices which we are skilled in employing.

We will unmask the powerful homosexuals who masquerade as heterosexuals. You will be shocked and frightened when you find that your presidents and their sons, your industrialists, your senators, your mayors, your generals, your athletes, your film stars, your television personalities, your civic leaders, your priests are not the safe, familiar, bourgeois, heterosexual figures you assumed them to be. We are everywhere; we have infiltrated your ranks. Be careful when you speak of homosexuals because we are always among you; we may be sitting across the desk from you; we may be sleeping in the same bed with you.

There will be no compromises. We are not middle-class weaklings. Highly intelligent, we are the natural aristocrats of the human race, and steely-minded aristocrats never settle for less. Those who oppose us will be exiled.

We shall raise vast private armies, as Mishima did, to defeat you. We shall conquer the world because warriors inspired by and banded together by homosexual love and honor are invincible as were the ancient Greek soldiers.

The family unit-spawning ground of lies, betrayals, mediocrity, hypocrisy and violence--will be abolished. The family unit, which only dampens imagination and curbs free will, must be eliminated. Perfect boys will be conceived and grown in the genetic laboratory. They will be bonded together in communal setting, under the control and instruction of homosexual savants.

All churches who condemn us will be closed. Our only gods are handsome young men. We adhere to a cult of beauty, moral and esthetic. All that is ugly and vulgar and banal will be annihilated. Since we are alienated from middle-class heterosexual conventions, we are free to live our lives according to the dictates of the pure imagination. For us too much is not enough.

The exquisite society to emerge will be governed by an elite comprised of gay poets. One of the major requirements for a position of power in the new society of homoeroticism will be indulgence in the Greek passion. Any man contaminated with heterosexual lust will be automatically barred from a position of influence. All males who insist on remaining stupidly heterosexual will be tried in homosexual courts of justice and will become invisible men.

We shall rewrite history, history filled and debased with your heterosexual lies and distortions. We shall portray the homosexuality of the great leaders and thinkers who have shaped the world. We will demonstrate that homosexuality and intelligence and imagination are inextricably linked, and that homosexuality is a requirement for true nobility, true beauty in a man.

We shall be victorious because we are fueled with the ferocious bitterness of the oppressed who have been forced to play seemingly bit parts in your dumb, heterosexual shows throughout the ages. We too are capable of firing guns and manning the barricades of the ultimate revolution.

Tremble, hetero swine, when we appear before you without our masks.

Presidents, politicians and some pastors will welcome every type pervert into the institutions of decent people. It is beyond the comprehension of most Christians who have ever read God's word, that the Episcopalian Church will ordain a homosexual bishop, homosexual pastors and condone same sex marriage. A repudiation to our blessed Lord and his holy bride the Church. Martin Luther, the Great Reformer, in his last sermon at Wittenburg in 1546, said the Jews were big liars. I wonder what he would say about his own church, the Lutheran Church, and their voting to put gay pastors into Lutheran churches at their meeting in Minneapolis 463 years later. Even after a tornado appeared from nowhere, and disappeared into nowhere, after it had torn up the roof where the convention was meeting, partially destroying the Lutheran Church across the street, these pretenders did not get God's message, nor have most pretenders during my lifetime. Satan is amazed, having a rollicking good time at the ease with which he is taking over America, the Christian Church, a surrendered world.
