IN THE BEGINNING


i walked in and stood against the rear wall. a man and
woman each holding microphones were standing about
thirty feet away. a woman near them asked a question

" why are you in this lifestyle ?"

the woman replied

" that's the wrong question. i mean we're brought up
in a judeochristian country and we've all been to church
and everybody around us has been and our parents and
so on. and when you're there what happens ? you're being
humiliated. a man is standing raised above you and the
literal subtext of everything he says to you is

" sinner ! fornicator ! whore ! "

the man spoke

" look at the book. look at how it starts. in the beginning
the world is made perfect without man and woman.
but they appear and what happens ? sinning. fornicating.
whoring. the descent of the world begins. and we're
taught this from the earliest age. all of us are taught this
and our parents and their parents before us "

the woman continued

" my friends can you see it ? we're taught this and it is
the basis of our culture and who we really are. we are
people who want and need to be humiliated. look at
what we do to ourselves and each other. so no, you're
asking the wrong question. you really should ask

" how can you not be in this lifestyle, in one form or another "?
