TRADITIONAL VALUES AND SHAZAM! BOOM! PART TWO | 2007-01-12
Everybody says that if you put down a black, a black should object. If you put down a Jew, a Jew should object.
According to Traditional Values, when Jesus said, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," he excluded every one of us living today. Can I, on behalf of every black and Jew, object to this? You see, every one of us living today, including Holy Minorities, are part of the population Traditional Values excludes from Jesus when he spoke the Golden Rule.
According to Traditional Values, at the instant of conception there is a "SHAZAM! BOOM!"
At that instant, the new person should be treated as you would want yourself treated. But when the black and the blond marry, all that matters is that THEY are "in love," and, above, that the guy in the dress shouts SHAZAM!
To hell with the kids.
Literally.
The problem is that neither you nor I nor the other six billion people on earth were around when Jesus said "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." This did not apply to you and me, since we were not in the "SHAZAM!" stage, much less the "BOOM!" part.
Jesus did not say to only be good to those who are here now. Early Christianity did not believe there would BE a future, so I doubt Jesus worried about it much. But had he known that his Second Coming would be so delayed, the churches would not have been closed in the meantime because people like me and you, future generations who had not been SHAZAM/BOOMed yet, didn't matter.
No, a man in a dress screaming "SHAZAM!" won't substitute for a genetic morality.
