Subject: What Will Be the Next Issue?

As Lois has pointed out, the "first issue" that the CofC wanted discussed in the Listening Circles following their creation was homosexuality.

If the Circles were not created specifically to faciliate reorganizing the church so as to permit it runaway homosexuality to come out of the closet, but to faciliate any number of issues, what will the next one be?

Some have suggested pedophilia. Another possibility is cannibalism.

Read on:

But research now suggests that cannibalism is far more widespread in nature than previously supposed, and that it was widely and actively practiced both by erly humans and by the first civilizations. Speaking recently at the University of Alberta, Philip Tobias, a leading expert on human evolution, described the overwhelming evidence for cannibalism among early human ancestors.

"An exhaustive survey by biologist Gary Polis showed cannibalism in more than 1,300 species, including some human societies where human flesh was the single great source of protein."

Among the experts, cannibalism is a hotly debated and emotion-charged issue. Still, given its obvious advantages plus our own history of cannibalism and its prevalence in nature, the wonder seems to be that modern humans have developed a repugnance for eating each other and have largely discontinued the practice.

Paul Tisdall, "Cannibalistic Taboos a Recent Development," Edmonton Journal, Jan. 2, 1983.

Just as the hierarchy saw an over-arching need to legitimatize homosexuality in order to minister to homosexuals in a Christ-like way, it may see a similar need should it open any mission fields in territories in which cannibalism is practiced. You will note how the above cited author insinuates that cannibalism is a normal part of human history, and that perhaps it is modern cannibalophobes who have shut it down.

Unfortunately, the reports of the prevalence of cannibalism throughout human history are as lacking in factuality as the claims of the prevalence of homosexuality.

However, as Dr. Henry Morris has observed, "Whether or not cannibalism has ever been consistently practiced for either religious or nutritional reasons, the significant point to note is that many evolutionists have tried to rationalize or justify it on the basis of its supposed evolutionary contribution. Even if ancient man never descended this low, it seems not too farfetched for modern men to seriously contemplate its possible advantages."

The way to legitimatize the unthinkable is to introduce propaganda that is untruthful, but to the point -- namely that (as the propagandists want us to believe,) the unthinkable has always in fact, been not only thinkable but has been acted upon, and it is only neurotic modern man, overpowered by higher religious scruples, that has squelched the practice of the unthinkable. That is, of course, until enlightened counter-reformers such as the propagandist discovered the "truth."

It is amazing that modern members of the CofC hierarchy have trouble believing that a literate, transcontinental civilization of Precolumbia Christians occupied the Americas, but they have no trouble believing that homosexuality, cannibalism, abortion, lesbianism, and same-sex marriage was practiced with regularity up until pesky Protestants began the Reformation.

There is even a homosexual activist who has published a book claiming that the medieval church had a ritual for same sex marriage, and that the postReformation crowd on both sides of the Protestant/Catholic divide are deliberately suppressing it.

It does not matter if the propagandists can supply no more evidence of the historicity of all these unthinkable things any more than Stewart Ferguson could find the gold plates during his archaeological digs in MesoAmerica. For them, truth consists solely of what the general population can be made to believe by artful propaganda and manipulation. Facts have nothing to do with it -- only the agenda.
