i must expose them to the light of day.
hold that thought, another rant came into mind this morning, just as i started to sit down to write this, namely the legalized discrimination law passed in Arizona, that says it is okay to deny services, based on the belief a potential customer may be gay and hide it under the spiritual camouflage of “religious freedom.” seriously, how the fVck to they think they are kidding, it is bias pure and simple, and the fact that the elected officials of any state would put forth such bullsh!t, is even more incredulous. i know the religious right is beginning to realize they are on the wrong side of history and soon will be nothing but an insignificant, however vocal, minority in this so-called “CHRISTIAN” country and all of the resistance to opening the door to equality based of sexual preference, is their last gasp. this will not stand the judicial review, as it certainly is a taking and an institutionalization of inequality. the fact that it is even being advanced, is such a slap in the face of those so-called “Christian” values, especially treating others as you would have them treat you, that any real “Christian” should be shrinking in shame and remorse. just as people of color were once seen as chaff and property, and women not smart enough to vote, so will this institutionalized bigotry be seen in the final analysis, and those who base their actions on their place in the afterlife, may want to really consider how the institutionalized hate they support, looks on the balance of their sin ledgers. before you take umbrage, let me perfectly clear, whatever it is that you believe is fine by me. i may have my issues with organized religion, but the rant above is directed at those morons who believe they have the right to impose their twisted morals and social beliefs upon me and justify it as the will of GOD, well i got news for you, IT IS NOT!
okay, time to comae back to reality. yes i have very strong opinions, and yes, like those i just ranted about in the preceding paragraphs, i have been known, more times than i am comfortable admitting, to force those opinions down the throats of others and make it look like i was acting in a spiritual manner. just as the fVck you very much i received the other day, played over and over in my head, because i am guilty of taking the services and kindnesses of others for granted, so does this whole “i am fVcking you over because, spiritually it is the correct thing to do, and here is why!”
it may be true, that my opinion is valid and yes even spiritual, that does not mean i have the right nor the obligation to force you to see things my way. that certainly is a behavior i came to the rooms, possessing and apparently it will be one that continues to play over and over again, until the POWER that fuels my recovery, chooses to have it removed. although, i am less guilty, these days of acting on this, the fact that i feel some passion about the inherent evil in Arizona, means that i am still actively practicing that behavior, and perhaps a new question for my TENTH STEP, is also in order namely: “did i bully or bludgeon anyone today, into seeing things my way?”
not a bad addition to the formal process of STEP TEN, that is already working me over. as nice as sitting here and expounding on that idea may be, surreality does call and i need to head on over to work. perhaps, i can be a rock-star today and get the project i have been struggling with done.
