Advice Goddess Grates

Letter of the Week

We’re not exactly sure who brought us this week’s letter of the
week, as she flies under the righteous handle of Mora Lee Sound. But
anyone who calls out the Advice Goddesses’ panties has our respect. Go
Mora Lee!

Amy, the Advice Goddess,
My commentary is in reference to your wellspring Source of advice to Nun for Me in last week’s paper:

Is this really what our world has arrived at? Has God been replaced by a goddess whose “good advice” is to ditch the woman with high morality and a sense of self-worth in favor of floozies who will drop their pants at the first fluctuation of a hormone?

As for Biblical criticisms, please open your Bible more often than you open your “after-one-night-stand” birth control pills, and you might see that the Old (Mosaic) Law Covenant in which disobedient children were “stoned” was replaced by an entirely New Covenant dominated by Christian principles. (Romans 7:6) Yes, “principles” – another word you may want to look up in the dictionary, the other dusty book presently buried by the thong undies of your avid advice-takers.

Sadly, in a world devoid of that antiquated word, “principles,” there is plenty of “free sex” to go around. Let’s not quickly forget that there are also free unwanted pregnancies, free HIV, free human papillomavirus, free heartaches, free divorces, free fatherless and motherless children. Such a “free” world …

Keep on advising, keep on liberating, Miss Alkon.

Mora Lee Ignorant: Practice what you preach. Remember that the Old Testament is about half of the Bible and is not ‘replaced’ by the New Testament. Investigate the origin of the current version of the Bible you mindlessly thump. Read the minutes of the Council Of Nicaea convened in 325CE and again in 333CE by the Sun God Emperor Constantine, the Father of the Christian Bible. Learn why Constantine picked and chose only a very few of the over 4700 relevant Christian manuscripts then available to be included in the Bible they were manufacturing. Learn by their own words that the newly constructed Bible was created and used by it’s originators as propaganda to control the unruly masses giving them problems along trade routes. Learn that Sun Day was a day named and created, set aside as a day of leisure by Constantine to worship the Sun God. Learn that Dec. 25th was THE major Holiday for Sun God worshippers, called, “The day of the Emergence of The Sun.” Learn that the Divinely Inspired Constantine, “The Father Of The Bible,” suffused with his newly acquired Christian values, summarily put to death his wife, his son, a nephew and his wife, and had co-emperor Licinius and his son strangled to death.

If you want to have a philosophical discussion about morality based on reason and logic, I’m all for it. But the moment you bring up Christianity, the Bible as a basis, you signal you haven’t got the tools necessary for such discourse.

While you get up to speed over the next several years, I’ll continue to enjoy reading Amy, who appears to be a hell of a lot more informed about human nature than any Bible Thumper I’ve ever met.
