href="http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2010/03/01/slovakia-to-hold-first-pride-festival/">Slovakia&#8217;s first ever gay pride march</a>. Busy sleeping, I wasn&#8217;t there for the event itself, though was affected by it due to the presence of hovering police or news helicopters disturbing my rest. And, presently, the sound of the concert a few blocks away is drifting through my open window. Bravo for them, I say!</p><p><img
class="alignright" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Gay Pride Bratislava 2010" src="http://www.colourplanet.cz/image.aspx?itemid=68656%20&amp;w=249&amp;h=175" alt="Gay Pride Bratislava 2010" width="249" height="175" />Slovak MP, former Interior Minister and head of the Christian Democrats of Slovakia party Vladimír Palko has weighed in on this development with a brief opinion piece published in three languages at <a
href="http://www.lavoce.sk/">La Voce della Slovacchia</a>, a primarily Italian-language news outlet on the Slovak scene. The piece is entitled &#8220;<a
href="http://www.lavoce.sk/2010/05/22/vladimir-palko-gay-marches-end-in-tyranny-2/">Gay  marches end in tyranny</a>&#8220;. Yes, you read that right.</p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>The homosexual lobby wants to achieve a situation where the homosexual lifestyle is respected by the majority society as something normal and natural.</em></p><p>I&#8217;m unsure, myself, what the &#8220;homosexual lobby&#8221; seeks to achieve in Slovakia. But if it includes this, I support it whole-heartedly. Because what we have in the meanwhile is a situation where it&#8217;s considered &#8220;normal&#8221; and &#8220;natural&#8221; to <em>hate anyone</em> operating outside the religio-culturally prescribed heterosexual model, and act accordingly toward them.</p><p>Palko then explains the &#8220;tyranny&#8221; he wants his readers to fear is coming, that they might grant him and his cronies more power:</p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;"><em> I will mention the example of Judge Andrew McClintock from Sheffield, who lost his judges robes because he did not wish to preside over cases where he would by law have to award guardianship of children to a homosexual couple. Another example is the employee of City Hall in London, <a
href="http://blog.echurchwebsites.org.uk/2010/03/09/lilian-ladele-christian-registrar-lost-job-refused-carry-civil-partnership-ceremonies-refused-permission-appeal-supreme-court/">Lilian Ladele</a>, who will no longer be able to do her job as wedding registrar, because she had a problem with her conscience in “marrying” homosexual couples.</em></p><p>So, what Palko wants those who read his screed to fear is that <em>government workers</em> will be &#8220;tyrannized&#8221;. <em>Awwwww</em>! It makes me want to go run right out and give the nearest police officer a great big hug.</p><p>As long as issues such as sexual orientation and marriage are to fall under the baneful gaze of states, it should be clear to anyone, Palko included, that the only proper function of the government employees handling them is to simply carry out the law impartially. And if they can&#8217;t handle that, fine, let them go out and get into an honest line of work instead.</p> <br

href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrahamic_religion">Abrahamic religion</a>&#8220;, a catch-all for all those faiths which trace their historicity to Abraham. Abrahamic religion is one of the cornerstones of the dominant social and psychological paradigm across great expanses of the globe and among billions of human beings today.</p><p>The story of Abraham and Isaac always really bothered me. Let&#8217;s take a look at Genesis 22 (yes, all of it, from the New American Bible translation):</p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;">Some time after these events, God put Abraham to the test. He called to him, &#8220;Abraham!&#8221;</p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>&#8220;Ready!&#8221;</strong> he replied.</p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;">Then God said: <strong>&#8220;Take your son Isaac, your only one, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. There you shall offer him up as a holocaust on a height that I will point out to you.&#8221;</strong></p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;">Early the next morning Abraham saddled his donkey, took with him his son Isaac, and two of his servants as well, and with the wood that he had cut for the holocaust, set out for the place of which God had told him. On the third day Abraham got sight of the place from afar. Then he said to his servants: &#8220;Both of you stay here with the donkey, while the boy and I go on over yonder. We will worship and then come back to you.&#8221; Thereupon Abraham took the wood for the holocaust and laid it on his son Isaac&#8217;s shoulders, while he himself carried the fire and the knife.</p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;">As the two walked on together, Isaac spoke to his father Abraham. &#8220;Father!&#8221; he said.</p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;Yes, son,&#8221; he replied.</p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;">Isaac continued, &#8220;Here are the fire and the wood, but where is the sheep for the holocaust?&#8221;</p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;Son,&#8221; Abraham answered, &#8220;God himself will provide the sheep for the holocaust.&#8221; Then the two continued going forward.</p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;">When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. Next <strong>he tied up his son Isaac, and put him on top of the wood on the altar. Then he reached out and took the knife to slaughter his son.</strong> But the LORD&#8217;S messenger called to him from heaven, &#8220;Abraham, Abraham!&#8221;</p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>&#8220;Yes, Lord,&#8221;</strong> he answered.</p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;Do not lay your hand on the boy,&#8221; said the messenger. &#8220;Do not do the least thing to him. <strong>I know now how devoted you are to God, since you did not withhold from me your own beloved son.</strong>&#8220;</p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;">As Abraham looked about, he spied a ram caught by its horns in the thicket. So he went and took the ram and offered it up as a holocaust in place of his son. Abraham named the site Yahweh-yireh; hence people now say, &#8220;On the mountain the LORD will see.&#8221;</p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;">Again the LORD&#8217;S messenger called to Abraham from heaven and said: &#8220;I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that because you acted as you did in not withholding from me your beloved son, I will bless you abundantly and make your descendants as countless as the stars of the sky and the sands of the seashore; your descendants shall take possession of the gates of their enemies, and in your descendants all the nations of the earth shall find blessing&#8211;all this because you obeyed my command.&#8221;</p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;">Abraham then returned to his servants, and they set out together for Beer-sheba, where Abraham made his home. Some time afterward, the news came to Abraham: &#8220;Milcah too has borne sons, to your brother Nahor: Uz, his first-born, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram), Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.&#8221; Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Abraham&#8217;s brother Nahor. His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore children: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.</p><p>What lessons shall the child absorb and internalize, hearing this story retold in solemn tones by those he trusts, loves or depends on?</p><p>Invisible ghost speaks addresses man, and man responds &#8220;Ready!&#8221; &#8212; <em><strong>thou shalt obey the invisible</strong></em></p><p>Invisible ghost commands man to commit atrocity against his own family, to violate not only Isaac&#8217;s nature but his own. Does Abraham question? Hardly. Abraham speaks nary a word, but sets out meekly in compliance with his invisible master&#8217;s order. &#8212; <em><strong>submit</strong></em></p><p>Abraham lies to his servants by allowing the collective pronoun &#8220;we&#8221; was in &#8220;we will come back to you&#8221;, nevermind the horrors implicit in the idea that a man shall have servants. &#8212; <em><strong>servitude is fine for some</strong></em></p><p>Next, Abraham lies to his trusting child, and points to an invisible ghost as the solution to his questioning. &#8212; <em><strong>lying for your invisible ghosts is okay</strong></em></p><p>Next, <em>Isaac submits</em> to being bound by his father and condemned to death. A clearer expression of the horror contained in the commandment &#8220;honor thy father and thy mother&#8221; would be difficult to find. &#8212; <em><strong>&#8217;nuff said</strong></em></p><p>Then the invisible ghost comes along and says: &#8220;Just kidding!&#8221; Does Abraham object or rebel? Hardly, he waits for the <em>next command</em>. Does Isaac, the sacrificial lamb, say anything? Nary a word. &#8212; <em><strong>honor thy masters even when they deceive you</strong></em></p><p>Invisible ghost, now playing good cop, praises Abraham for his <em><strong>blind</strong></em> obedience, and REWARDS him! &#8212; <em><strong>the ends justify the means?</strong></em></p><p>Never mind its ahistoricity, anyone of conscience ought to burn their Bible after finishing Genesis 22, and condemn the behavior found therein.</p><p>Continuing on some themes I&#8217;ve set out before: Damn your holy books, damn your obedience, damn your culture. And fuck Jehovah.</p><p>And we haven&#8217;t even <em>mentioned</em> how this sick fucker sent his own son to be killed by his own agents to prove a point&#8230; maybe we&#8217;ll come back to that later.</p> <br
