A suggestion to God for a miracle.
August 28, 2011
Dear Lord,
The Chinese have 30 million more boys than girls. Wow! That looks to me like a social problem in the making. Announce in the world in some way, say through this blog, that you have solved this problem a long time ago in the homosexual.
So you gave us this homosexual to help us straights and bi’s that two people can find the sort of happiness that is only possible in the union of “one fleshâ€, that marvelous realm where one can be naked in public (a public of yourself and one other) and not be ashamed and can just be him or herself in the company of an intimiate friend. You becomes officially friends, friends for life, friends you can depend on, with divorce an utter taboo, friends who will never let you down and to whom you could be spontaneous with your thoughts and your actions and never hold anything back. Being yourself in company, as will be the case at the End, is the greatest joy of a human.
So two people are needed to constitute this union, and that’s all the humans can handle, given their limited condition in existence. So any two people (with health considerations, e.g., unprotected sex with siblings is a no-no) can experience the unique and unfathomable joy of one flesh. All they have to do is to make an absolute vow of unbreakable connection with another person with that same understanding. So this joy ipso facto excludes divorce as a consideration (though measures will be needed to phase this in).
OK, so then the reason for the two sexes is, in the nature of things, the drive for procreation. But it is in and of itself, on the rational plane, an toy to be enjoyed by two adults who constitute a single, one all-containing flesh (consciousness, i.e., no secrets).
So, rationally considered, we recognize the utility of a population which would be able to enjoy life to its fullest (in terms of marriage), except that it could not yield children. Children who were available (and here there is danger already of a market economy) could be adopted by those who could have no children but who want them.
So, give us, O God, the homosexuals as a nature, even if only an inevitable second nature, and use them to dampen the excesses of the out-of-control heterosexual world. Give us a means to encourage one behavior over the other, depending on whether we need more or fewer children.
Consider the recent discovery of science:

This indicates that bisexuality is a fact. I mean, it is real and no more explicable than the bent of some for their left hand. Except here we have the ambisexual man (only men were included in the study). So it is going to be ok with being a bisexual person. They do in fact exist. How many, who knows? So in this miracle of creation, O God, let us have just enough bisexuals and straights and gays so that we could in that way manipulate the population of this great globe (that is presently shrinking with regard to space and resources).
In fact, O God, I suggest that the miracle be that all humans are bisexual just as all humans are ambidextrous, only we prefer in different ways.
You have already reaveled this to me through my dear friend Jodi who was so straight and forward as to be magician, and who admitted that it did happen that once in his life he saw another boy, and got turned on. So he was 10,000 to 1, but that’s still bisexuality.
I know this myself as a bisexual. You lean this way and that, and for some it has been 100% (so far!) one way and no the other, and nothing wrong about that.
So, I would suggest, O God, that you announce that you gave us (and it seems so far to be unique to the human) the left hander to be that oddness for us to get used to before revealing the solution to all of the problems of this earth, a bisexual population that we would treat rationally in a universal encouragement of happiness. Once we realize that we are all bisexual as this study suggests to me, then we can start raising our children differently and have the churches, for example, suggesting to us to suggest more visit-your-boy-friend and less of girl-friend, unless we need more children.
Now the only thing, it seems to me, O God, that is really standing in the way of this recognition (at least as a real possibility) is the present state and condition of the Christian world. Perhaps the change could come from Europe. How to convince the Christians that to accept bisexuality (which includes then also homosexuality) is not contrary to Jesus according to our gentile interpreter, Paul, for where there is love there is Christ? Paul spoke against same-sex sex. The only way to have that jive with the modern world, remembering, as we must, that You (God) are limited by the condition of the man whom You created, is to realize that Paul spoke to his time and his understanding and we, in his footsteps, speak to our time and our understanding, and where what our unity (ourselves and Paul) is is the dedication to Christ and his rule of love.
[I'll bet the Mormons can figure out a way how to introduce this in to their doctrines. It may be more difficult for the Muslims. They don't have a current Prophet.]
What we get from Paul (and Acts 15) is the liberty of the Gentile Christian, the most amazing creation in human history which even Kant had to take note off (being entirely without any law), and where law is not needed because the heart already belongs to Christ.
The appeal of this Gentile Christian could be enormous. What a simplicity to living! What clarity! This is unmatched in any of the present takes on the communications humans report with You. Here, with the law of universal love as the single principle upon which all actions whatsoever must be judged, all we have to do is to figure out through science how best to become happy people, and to provide for all the wants of all, and a world fit for children to be raised in.
So You sent us the left hander to make fun of, although we are only making fun of ourselves, and now, O God, make known to all that all humans are bisexual and that’s the way you wanted to, so that we could use our heads and solve all of our problems in this world.
Let the Christians keep the label marriage for those humans (all bisexuals according to this miracle) of different sexes with respect to children only. The homosexuals should take no offense at this. They will say to their children, Sure it would have been different if Daddy 2 or Daddy 1 had been a woman, but it would also have been different if Daddy 2 had been a different person. We only know how much we love you, etc.
Now once Christianity becomes heavily Gentile, i.e., accepting all humans as bisexual (but still leaning differently toward one sex or the other), then the conversion of the world will not be far behind. Many other religions will fail because they are not simple but thoroughly complex as to what is needed to win something from You. Most will probably fail for this reason. Why settle for the complex instead of the simple? The mark of a trickster is to make things complex.
And the reason the concept of the Gentile Christian will have appeal is due to its clarity and its moral, and that’s because what makes it simple is that it is moral; for being moral it has to be simple, enough for children to grasp. Thanks to Mr. Immanuel Kant for this insight.
So that’s the prayer, O God, and my humble suggestion, let us come to know that your miracle of creation of the human is signaled in your creation of us as both ambidextrous and ambisexual, and also as rational. And those three things set us ahead of the animals, but no longer as predators but now also as conservators. You have given us rationality (in order to spy you conceptually) and have made us ambidextrous as a parallel, given our condition, and then the great gift, our own ambisexuality. By putting the rationality and the sexuality in a framework of universal human love, we would find, as your Ghandi told us, that we already have the solution to all our problems and needed merely to share what we have (and we don’t mean market!) as spontaneously as we can.
So I would humble suggest, O God, to carry this further, to reveal to the pope and to the Mormon Prophet and to all the Muslims and all the world the knowledge of this miracle. That You had given this capacity to us in Paul’s Gentile Christian but which was smothered by the doctrinal factures that beset the Christians and it turned into a mess, and we see now that the Gentile Christian was there all the time, only we weren’t looking right. It took so long for us to realize our left-hand rejection. Just think, we were really denying ourselves, and denying a Your miracle on our behalf. For what is more queer than a ambidextrous population being consistently 10% left handed? Unless it is a ambisexual population that is 10% gay or bisexual?
So give us this miracle and open the eyes of those stuck in details instead of principles of universal action, and let us see that we should be happy for the homosexual, for he has given us this insight about ourselves, that we are all bisexual and many have simply not had an occasion to see what we mean.
Thanks be to God for all things.
Wouldn’t that be something! Our salvation (as an earthly creature) lies in the homosexuals and we have thrown stones and crucified them, not realizing that we were all bisexual and thus killing ourselves. I don’t guess we even need the left-hander anymore. Science has made a good start in showing that we are all bisexual anyway.
My guess on the Muslim take to all this is this: Allah made some people different as a “test and trial” for them, and he made homosexuals and bisexuals in order for them to not express themselves, just as a test and trial, so they can understand why they are ending up in a higher or lower paradise or a higher or lower hell.
I guess “straight” would mean “not turned on by the same sex so far”, and “gay” “not tured on so far by the opposite sex” and “bisexual” “turned on by members of both sexes”.
