As always--my books: King's Books!
Pope Francis has ignited another unearthly case of controversy; specifically, he may back down from his reported vociferousness concerning entrance into the Empyreal Spangle (Heaven); nonetheless, his theology outshines his confused critics.
The Gospel of Mark; moreover, Chapter 2 verse 17 of the King James Edition clearly explains the necessity of Christ, it boldly daring: "When Jesus heard it, He saith unto them: They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick--I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
As a result of this effulgent epiphany, Christ offers up a theological maxim that those whose earthly motions are benevolent will inherit heaven regardless; it is the lewd and lascivious that need the attention of a spiritual healer in order to pass beyond the Sublime Perimeter of it ALL. Still, all religions believe they singularly possess the axiomatic key to a perpetuity of a paradisal afterlife--what hogwash. Ordained a priest in 1507, the most infamous Dominican Friar of the 16th Century, Luther was the ruination and retardation of a blossoming brilliance known as the Renaissance; specifically, even Nietzsche argued that the Papal Authorities had finally embraced the essence of art and science--all this to be sucked backwards into the ignorant vacuum of a man unable to endure asceticism, making Saint Paul's intellectual bullshit just as important as the Gospels Themselves.
Are we really to adhere to the notorious notion that only a singular religion will, if properly executed, inherit the delicious domain of heaven? Maybe the malicious Methodists? But screw the polytheism of Hindu Holy Men, crafting excellent karma for their eternal ride into the celestial ocean, right? Deny the agnostic Doctor who spends his whole life sweetly healing, yet cannot wrap his educated self around an omnipotent, loving God. This is crap. And Pope Francis has once again displayed his denial of these demonic traits that haunt supposedly holy religions--even if he shies away and regretfully retracts his statements. Nobody knows the truth save for the most lunatic of mystics, denying earthly existence as commands a compulsion to know the truth of God; alas, Pat Robertson's cerebral arteries are clogged with the mystery beef of bologna; still, truth resides within his faith and determination to eagerly inject salvation into the monstrous masses. The Torah, New Testament, Koran, Gita, Epic of Gilgamesh--all religious doctrines have truth and lies. This is the dangerous dualism of humanity. But we have to accept that--our imperfection, never blindly believing the balderdash of an umbrella theology. Man is good; man is a son of a bitch. Being a Methodist is not the singular path towards heaven.
Sincerely, Mark David King
