“Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from
the LORD out of the heavens. Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire
plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the
land.” That’s what the Genesis19:24-25
tells us that happened when human beings deviated too much from saintliness
in the ancient times. As a result, since then, Sodom
and Gomorrah
have been associated with sexual debauchery and by extension to all sinful
activities that the human denizens of this planet can come up with.
But on 2008 AD God has to be already pretty upset with us.
Actually, by ancient standards I think HE has to be pretty pissed off. Let’s be
honest, we have way surpassed Sodom and Gomorrah excesses in all conceivable
ways. And not just in two cities. No, this time we extended the pinnacle of
sinfulness into a global scale. Think of anything that’s explicitly forbidden
by the heavens…and I can tell you for sure it’s on somewhere today on a daily
basis. The last spill from that cup? Katy Perry and her song “I kissed a girl”.
Homofobic anyone? Femalehood assertiveness maybe? Besides the song’s melody
which I find pretty awesome, we have here a clear example of our modern times. Is
it decadence, which I am sure all the puritanical bible- totters will rush to
label or just that human race is finally becoming a grown up baby?
Not only homosexuality is no longer repressed in our society,
but we reached the point where it is actually becoming the latest craze to be
sampled. After kissing a girl, “the taste of her cherry chop-stick” Perry tells
us, made her feel good, not only good but in power and of course this doesn’t
mean a hoot to her per se “Don’t mean I am in love tonight” she
continues singing after openly confessing “It felt so wrong, it felt so right”.
Did you had a chance to watch the video on YouTube? It’s awesome.
Maybe I’ve been living in my puritanical shell for too much
time, but I sense another pre and post milestone in public deviance here. Here
we have a successful commercial song that encourages us to go gay. Mmmm, grande,
like the Italians would say. “But a lesbian kiss doesn’t mean to be gay necessarily” lots
of people might be inclined to claim. Well, according to a social study done a
couple of years ago, it’s not what you say but what you do. Incidentally, that
study found that men performing occasional homosexual acts considered themselves
‘straight’.
But wait, there is more. Woody Allen, l’enfantterrible
of the U.S.,
just got in the bandwagon of the homosexually bonanza. Did you had a chance to
watch Vicky Cristina Barcelona? With their three-some thematic I am sure French
will love it –which probably is the required catalyst for foreign movies to get
successful in Europe. But the transgression
won’t stop there. Penelope, check. Scarlett, check. Developing photography both
alone at night, check. Go, go, go watch it!
Sorry for that detour, guys, I have to regain focus. Ok, so
in the end, what Katy Perry song is actually telling us is that we reached that
point where sexuality is actually blind, like Mrs. Justice, and is out there
for you to go try it.
But this time, in a twist with ancient times, God won’t
punish us for it. There is not going to be a rain of brimstone or anything
celestial going on. But how we know that? Well, we know it… first, because it
didn’t happen inspire of what’s going on. And second, we know it because if in
any case sulfur rains or whatever catastrophe happens –which, by the way it is
happening constantly around the world- it will have a known cause. The supposed
“punishment” won’t be out-of-nowhere and therefore won’t be closely associated
with heaven’s chastisement. No, the times were sodomy and sinfulness triggered
sulfur rainbows are gone forever. We have our brightest century awaiting ahead.
Enjoy it.
