“Who the hell is the Vatican to declare who is saint and who is not - sacrifice makes a saint, not allegiance to the Vatican. A saint is determined by action and action alone - saintliness is not the possession of any barbaric institution to be endowed on people - saintliness is the plain ordinary drive within each human to become less animal and more human.”
― Heart Force One: Need No Gun to Defend Society
― Heart Force One: Need No Gun to Defend Society
“The Jesus portrayed in the United States, Europe and many other parts of the world is, quite ironically, a homosexual Jesus from the Renaissance, because that's what Da Vinci and Michaelangelo, both gays, loved to paint in the churches. People often claim that there is no proof of this but how could there be any concrete proof? First of all, being a homosexual could get you to be burned alive in a public square, and second, only the Vatican would offer jobs to artists. So imagine having to work for a boss you hate and at the same time, while being afraid he knows about your personal life and kills you. The mental pressure of these artists must have been brutal, which is why they compensated for it by hiding meanings inside their art, and just as many musicians and other artists do today when they want to tell you something that can end their career. And what a greater way to take a piss at the Vatican than that of painting Jesus as the men they loved? That's exactly what they did. Today, christians worship gay men while Da Vinci and Michaelangelo are still laughing somewhere. Because that's what great artists do, they laugh at the dogmas of society.”
