It's Friday, Lanny is in town, It's my last day of having to support 270 users all by myself... the weeks is over. I have been in a funk all day. All these good things are arriving but I can't focus on them. There are tons of things I should be doing, things I have to do before I leave work today but I can't concentrate on anything other than the horrible news I read this morning about the two kids (and they were only children) who were murdered by the Iranian government for being gay.
The poor kids spent the last 14 months of the short lives in jail waiting to be killed. I keep thinking that could have been me and what would I have wanted to do in the last year of my life. Would I be able to read the books I always planned to read? Would I be allowed to talk with my family? It's all just too horrible to put myself into those shoes and yet I can't stop.
I'm sorry but murder is murder, be it in the name God, lust, greed or any of my other beloved deadly sins. It's interesting that most murders are committed because of one of the sins or God. Does that make God a sin in an abstract way? I am beginning to think that for some people God is one of their deadly sins, they leave all logic and peace behind to reap the havoc they believe their God has empowered them to do. I find it hard to believe that so many people are stupid enough to believe that god loves them more than his other children and wants them to murder his other kids... what kind of crazy parent would want that. I'm sure we all agree that kind of parent shouldn't be allowed to have kids.

Eric, i've seen this both ways.
1) they were having consentual sex, either together or with the 13-year old boy mentioned in the article
and
2) they were raping the 13-year old, and then confessed to having sex with each other in prison.
If it was rape, hang the fuckers higher than Haman. I don't care how young they are - raping somebody is about the worst thing you can do to somebody. I had just a taste, and . . . there's no real way you can say how you feel. how violated and unclean and . . . . If they did that, I hope they died very slowly, and their victim gets some measure of peace from this.
If it wasn't, I hope someday the bastards running Iran get overthrown and then their victims gets their hands on these bastards and does something really painful to them. There's some poetic justice in charging them under their own laws for murder and apostacy (since islam is a religion of peace, and you're supposed to CARE for widows and orphans, not MAKE them - their interpretation is as base a perversion as I can find) and then imposing their own penalties for it.
Either way, I think we make God feel very sad some days. and this is one of them.
At least in my case, he was horny, and I was just a plaything to him - something to be used and discarded. I wasn't human, I wasn't real - i was a toy for his sick games.
I don't think murder and mutilation have that same distinct feel of being so . . . I don't know how to describe it. Most people don't get a sick feeling of pleasure from murder - although some do.
Torture, though - isn't there a line about wht to do with your torturers when they start to enjoy their work? There, I agree with you - it's got that same sick current of pleasure in taking away someone else's control over their body, their mind, and using it, using them, for your own gratification, whatever they think about it.
Perhps rape is a form of torture?
