“And for this reason,
a man shall leave father and mother and cling to his wife and the two shall
become one flesh.”(Gen 2:24)
Dear God,
This instruction
is not very clear. Did you intend to identify the man as "male" and
the wife as "female"? These are very critical points that need
confirmation.
We are most confused on
this matter and conjecture that the man could be a woman and the woman could be
a man as a result of their disposition and resolved same sex attractions (SSA). Is it not the heart that matters and not
reality?
Yes, we
understand that when Adam (the male) saw Eve (the female), Adam identified her
as “wo”man. The simple fact is you brought her forth from his side and that is
why she was so named. But we have moved beyond all that and do not see that same
natural creative process in place today.
We, instead, are attempting to bring forth
males and females from test tubes and Petri dishes, cloned from hamsters, and
guineas pigs and we are even now transgendered (ing) our children with the
blessing of your ambassadors who scream for SSA justice in so many of your progressive
churches.
From our
new perspective, a man could leave father and mother and cling to a wife who is
in fact a “man” emulating a “wo” – (male acting out and emulating as a “female”
in manner and disposition). Again maybe
it is not gender that matters but one of disposition? Or again the case could be that a wife leaves
father and mother and clings to her husband who is in fact a “fe” (woman acting
out and emulating as a “male” in both manner and disposition).
We are not
sure you had a definite and clear plan when you placed Adam --the male -- in the
Garden with Eve -- the female? Are you sure her name wasn't Steve, not Eve?
Maybe you
were testing us to see how long it would take us, your creation, to figure out
that there was no plan or maybe to discover “that it is the natural law that kills
and it is the spirit of experimentation that gives life.”
Yes, we are
able to identify and name matter as you instructed our parents to do. We can
discern neutrons, protons, electrons, pre-creative strings, gravity, dark
matter (nothing to do with Satan), but this male and female, man and wife
business is too confusing.
We have
more important things to concern ourselves with including the latest fashions, hooking
up with as many same-sex and opposite-sex partners as possible. We have to root
for Obama Care so that others pay for the increase in our sexually transmitted
disease. We have to find new ways of preventing the conception of males and
females, and then terminating them when they are conceived – especially the females
which are a real economic burden. And again it is important that we find others
to pay for our actions – especially those horrible intolerant Christian
followers of yours.
It seems – given
what was stated above – we have a good argument against there being a Divine plan
for a male and a female to marry since we do not really want to be fathers and
mothers - just irresponsible boys and girls.
And if that
is what we want to do, You (God) must have willed it because we were taught by
our pastors that “God does not make junk.”
As such, we have concluded that everything “we will,” you must have
willed and then created.
It is
amazing how clear things become when we have this one-sided conversation
(prayer) with You.
Sincerely,
Lawrence Fox
P.S. Please
do something about that awful Catholic Church that teaches that You created humanity as male and female, and for
this reason a man (male) leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife
(female) who also left her father and
mother to cling to her husband. And get rid of that annoying expression: “And God saw that
everything He made was good.”
