In which the pond reluctantly gives itself a last splash of Devine Ēostre reptile vitriole ...

The pond is well over the persecuted Xians routine that's been trotted out by the reptiles in celebration of the festival for the Germanic goddess Ēostre ...

The Devine rose on the Sunday to add her bit, but it was feeble - her main business was the bashing of transgender folk, because that's what bigoted Catholics do, persecute the different, humiliate and bray at them, and hurl abuse ...

This put the persecuting fundamentalist Catholic in company with the persecuting Xians of North Carolina, and the persecuting Islamic fundamentalists of Indonesia, currently intent on giving the tranny/TG community a hard time ...(ABC news here).

It made for an ironic juxtaposition, which is handy, because about the only thing that keeps the pond going is the need for iron in the diet ...

 

Elsewhere, the Devine dismissed notions of gender fluidity, and the notion of being transgendered as a tendency to psychotic episodes ...

It reminded the pond to spare a thought this Ēostre for persecuted transgender people, along with the many others of all persuasions that cop persecution from the likes of bigoted blinkered vicious bilious fundamentalists of the Devine kind ...

The trouble is, a couple of comments had already summarised all that needed to be said on the matter ...

But the pond is something of a record of the thinking of the reptiles on certain matters, so it felt the need to record what the Devine had to say about Ēostre. It's feeble and short - as noted the main mission this Sunday was to bash the shit out of TG folk - but for what it's worth ...

Well that wasn't worth much, but that's the way it is with the Devine. Unless there's room for venom and hate and fear and loathing, she really doesn't have much to say.

She really only gets going when she can talk of the long march of the nihilistic left and forces eating away at moral capital.

The notion that the Devine has moral capital, as opposed to copious and capital abundance of hate, provides more of that irony for the diet, and strangely reminded the pond of a Blake poem ...

Some have found this poem mystifying, but if you think of the Catholic church as the invisible worm, and the Devine as a sick rose, the meaning is clear enough ...(please, no correspondence on whether the pond is defaming roses, an innocent enough flower).

The Devine was hardly sufficient for a final word on Ēostre by the reptiles, so it was by the merest good luck that the pond stumbled on to the reptile editorial on the matter ...

A classic, n'est-ce pas? 

A message of hope?

Even while purporting to spread a message of Ēostre joy, they simply couldn't resist slagging off the Fairfaxians ...

Oh and the ultra-secularist greenie left, and so on and so forth ...

There's such a festering hate in the reptiles, it must eat at their guts on a daily basis ...

As for that bit about nuns, the pond couldn't resist wandering back down the road to The Devils  ...

The pond remembers having its thumbs tied behind its back and being made to kneel on the concrete in the playground in the hot Tamworth sun, and joining many others sent to the back of the classroom to wear the large Dunce hat, and copping solid whacks across the face for transgressions against Chris,t and being routinely beaten with a ruler ...all in the name of Jesus and the Pope ...

The sweating penguins were both unhappy and deeply disturbed - who can blame them, in full habit and sexual frustration?

Boys were frequently reminded they were hair-on-hands-growing brain-enfeebled masturbators, while girls regularly had the length of their dresses measured as a way of guarding against their incipient slutdom ...

There was much more, though none of it as bad as the physical rape and other molestation suffered by so many others at the hands of the Catholic and other churches ... as if the behaviour of Uncle Ernies in the home somehow ameliorated the institutional abuse ...

There's your persecution ... the persecution of the innocents ... yet the reptiles of Oz offer up as their joyous message of hope the mocking of the Fairfaxians and secularists ...

No matter how you cut it, these fuckers are fully sick in the head ...

Thank the long absent lord there was only one final par, celebrating the thoughts of a man who derived his notions of complimentary women from the situation of Adam and Eve ......

Yes, as Louis C. K. said in his show celebrating 2017, you can date that to Anno Dinosasur:

The Reverend Jeannette McHugh said the Archbishop's words were consistent with the fact that "the diocese of Sydney stringently upholds the teaching of male headship, which limits women from roles of leadership within the church and the home, whereby the male is the 'head' of the household and his wife is to 'complement' him his role". 

"Alarmingly, many men and women in the Sydney diocese believe this is the true interpretation of biblical texts written nearly 2,000 years ago, despite our education systems, the corporate sector, all tiers of government, the defence forces and sporting world increasing their dedication to initiatives that establish great equality and fairness to women," she added.

Oh fuck off you fuckers, and splash some of this on you for your Ēostre joy ...

Oh and just for the Ēostre joy ...
