A declaration that I felt compelled to make

I do not enjoy being vilified solely because of my visage or a poorly chosen user name that I once for a period of time used many years ago. My skin is brown and I have a mustache, but I am neither "Digital Devil" nor the Devil.

Contrary to certain gossip and possible lies that might have been told about me, sometimes by certain of my own family and many times by people from my hometown of San Luis Obispo, I am not evil, but I have never made claims of being perfect. I believe that most people who make claims of actually being perfect are at the very least imperfectly honest, at the very least to themselves.

I believe that the telling of lies can at times be a serious sin, sometimes depending on the kind of lie that might be told and perhaps also on how adamantly the liar adheres to his or her lie or lies. At the very least, certain of the lies that might have been told about me are possibly grossly exaggerated truths.

As an aside, I tend to believe in God more than I do in family but also in family more than I do in religion. My past religion was Roman Catholicism, but I am presently no longer a Roman Catholic, tending to perceive the bent of that particular religion as possibly being too white supremacist as well as too Italian centered.

I still harbor certain Christian and possibly even Roman Catholic tendencies, but do not call myself either. Nor am I a Jew or a Muslim. I simply call myself a "Theist"; I believe in God and in the Ten Commandments and to a certain degree in Jesus Christ. But I dislike authority, including the authority of a priest, pontiff, rabbi, or minister breathing down my neck and trying to define my personal nuances of belief for me.

You have said your stepdad who is the guy who keeps you fed and a roof on your head since you can't hold a job might have sexually abused you how your family supposed to think about that? Do you even do charity work help old ladies carry their groceries from the bodega? Keep the barrio clean?

I believe that despite its imperfections that the Roman Catholic Church remains one of the best religions in the world, possibly having the best truth of a divine Creator and the most fervent devotion to the Holy Trinity that might exist. But I am too rebellious to be a Roman Catholic, so I humbly depart that faith. Also, I have certain trust issues that might be a barrier to my faith in that particular religion.

Homosexuals being welcomed by the RCC might be a risky move. But I have often found the OT to be too hard on homosexuals. I personally believe that homosexuality might mostly be a sin but not so evil an act that it would deserve the punishment of being stoned to death as the Law of Moses might prescribe.

The RCC has been typified in the past as being a "hospital for sinners" as such.

Post by Dan Urtiz
But I have often found the OT to be too hard on homosexuals.
My Bible has 7 specific verses condemning homosexuality 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 New International Version (NIV)
9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men[a] 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

1 TIMOTHY 1:10
KJ21 for whoremongers, for those who defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine
ASV for fornicators, for abusers of themselves with men, for menstealers, for liars, for false swearers, and if there be any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;
and for sexually immoral persons, for homosexuals, for kidnappers and slave traders, for liars, for perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine,

Romans 1:26-27

Paul writes: "God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error."

Jude 1:7
"Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire." (KJV)

All those are from the NT.

By the way, I do not have a stepdad, never have, and have never claimed to have one. The man who resides here with my mother and I is simply her tenant and possible friend. He assists with some of the overhead of all three of us residing within this home, but he is not the one who feeds us or keeps a roof over our head. My mother mostly does that on here own. Even in her older years, she yet works taking care of my adult autistic nephew, who is quite helpless in his affliction.

I have an actual father, who is still alive and with whom I still infrequently keep in touch. My mother and father are divorced under the eyes of civil laws, but in the Roman Catholic religion there is not necessarily truly such a thing as divorce, and I do not believe that annulments are either granted or should be granted casually by the RCC as such.

I did once mention that a man might have fondled me and I him, while both of us had all of our clothes on, when I was about twelve and he twenty-four years of age. I can almost forgive that man for the sexual part of his offense, since I might possibly have been old enough to have known better at that age. But I am not as forgiving about the lies that I suspect such a man might told about me regarding the details of our misconduct. The man in question was a Mexican laborer, the likes of whom worked with my father, and neither my stepdad nor a relative of any kind.

I never ejaculated, to the best of my recollection, when that man and I partook of our mutual sin. I was possibly too young to ejaculate at that somewhat tender age. But I did occasionally climax. I suspect that such a miscreant might not have been the only one who told lies regarding such an affair, I might add. Certain relatives, including certain cousins, might also have told lies. I am not inclined to trust my family very much, at least with regard to the moral merit of simple honesty. I sometimes feel as if I can almost psychically "feel" their lying.

You have said your stepdad who is the guy who keeps you fed and a roof on your head since you can't hold a job might have sexually abused you how your family supposed to >think about that? Do you even do charity work help old ladies carry their groceries from the bodega? Keep the barrio clean?
By the way, I do not have a stepdad, never have, and have never claimed to have one. The man who resides here with my mother and I is simply her tenant and possible friend. He assists with some of the overhead of all three of us residing within this home, but he is not the one who feeds us or keeps a roof over our head. My mother mostly does that on here own. Even in her older years, she yet works taking care of my adult autistic nephew, who is quite helpless in his affliction.
Great on her.

I have an actual father, who is still alive and with whom I still infrequently keep in touch. My mother and father are divorced under the eyes of civil laws, but in the Roman Catholic religion there is not necessarily truly such a thing as divorce,
LOL silly one Rudy Guiliani and his wife of many years were given a rcc divorce the rules only apply to the plebes.

He was catholic like you correct? Might have fondled you?

Not always so great, from a certain point of view. The work is a bit demeaning and gross. Can you imagine, a twenty-two year old adult of large size, still taking a crap in diapers under his pants. My mother has to change her grandson's diapers. And the pay is fairly low for the fifty plus hours per week that she tends to put in; but my mother is often a good sport about it.

The plebeians, if that is what you meant by "plebes", might often be better Roman Catholics and overall Christians than the upper classes are. The NT might condemn wealth, or Mammon, to hell in at least one or two verses after all.

I do not at present talk to bishops or priests. Remember that I am no longer a Roman Catholic. I instead take my counsel from a divine spirit God.

The NT seems to me to condemn divorce anyway. It might be popular opinion and not strict adherence to the word of God that leads the RCC to allow infrequent annulments.

I believe he might possibly have been a Roman Catholic, although I never did ask him if he actually was Roman Catholic as such. But I doubt that his transgression should be blamed on his Roman Catholicism. Besides, he was and probably is not a priest (nor should he ever be, in my opinion), and I was not an acolyte of any kind. Simply said, it was not necessarily ecclesiastical abuse.

He did fondle me and, to my chagrin, I in turn him. I only said "might have" because I am not sure that "fondle" was the best word for what we both did. Also, it was while we both had all our clothes on, and it might not even have happened all that often.

Not exactly the same. A climax, or orgasm, can be "dry" when one is young enough.

I meant to say "their lying" here and not "they're lying".

Certain of them might be, at least insofar as telling the straight truth is concerned.

I do not enjoy being vilified solely because of my visage or a poorly chosen user name that I once for a period of time used many years ago. My skin is brown and I have a mustache, but I am neither "Digital Devil" nor the Devil.
Dude you are a non entity no one is vilifying you.
I felt the urge to come back to this quip of yours. In my opinion, no human being is absolutely a non entity and we all matter at least a bit. I disagree with Pope Francis if he says otherwise. Also, some people are sadists and like easy prey. Such sadists might go out of their way to vilify someone who might be easy to vilify, regardless of the reason for it. It might simply give them...pleasure.

Yes that is why they are called sadists and/or predators.
