BBC十一月十二日星期日的新聞報導。強姨（Sir Elton John）發表談話，建議把所有有組織的宗教（Organised Religion）通通給禁止掉。為什麼哩？因為這些有組織的宗教總是在宣揚對於同性戀的憎惡感。所以，雖然強姨也認識一些熱愛自己所信仰的宗教的同性戀人士，但是為了謀求「大我」，相信禁教這種建議也會獲得那些朋友犧牲「小我」的奉獻的！
強姨還說，他小時候也很愛主日學的那些故事呀！而且還會很細心地收集主日學老師給的貼紙和書籤，放進自己的書本之中呢！（是呀！是呀！我小時候也超愛那些金句卡片的呢！）但是，怎麼長大以後，才發現那些耶穌基督關於要愛鄰人如同愛自己的教訓還真的是只有留在主日學裡面！這些有系統也有龐大組織動員力的宗教完全不是那個樣！
這些宗教在幹什麼哩？儘在那邊宣揚和鼓吹歧視同性戀或者是認為同性戀不正常，不為神所喜愛，所以一定要認罪悔改的話語。搞的好像同性戀是公敵似的！這些宗教之間的紛爭也足夠引起第三次世界大戰了！（是呀！是呀！譬如說某個基本教義的基督教國家－美國，就明白挑上了伊斯蘭國家呀！）這些領袖沒有要對話解決紛爭的意思，這其實是完全違背了世人需要宗教的基本要素呀！
布魯斯早先跟我提到強姨的這番話，還語重心長地跟我說，「我終於知道為什麼之前約翰藍儂希望這世界上沒有宗教了！」
話說回來那位行為很光怪陸離的彭女士吧！（也不是我故意要挑她，只是真的隨便看就可以看見很多讓人覺得好笑的言論。）她在某篇回應網友的文章之中就寫下來「我不喜歡並不妨礙您喜歡或不喜歡，這是兩碼子事。不必說服我。」雖然是說她就是不喜歡蔡明亮近期的電影，讓網友也別想要說服她改變觀點了。可是，馬上就有聰明的其他網友問她，如果這是她的標準，為什麼還要去妨礙同志婚姻呢？那人家喜歡的很的事情，她不喜歡也用不著去妨礙人家爭取平權吧！還要鼓吹上帝聖靈感動台灣各地的人們不分宗教地來反對這事。這不是就是兩套標準嗎？
布魯斯一直對於這種「我就是不喜歡，你要尊重我不喜歡的權利」的說法（口吻、思想）很有意見。之前，某個曾經還算有交情的朋友說出這樣類似的話，讓我和布魯斯都感覺很吐血。原因？很簡單，因為雖然這句話看起來好像保全了雙方的自由，但是其實是一種高傲的歧視。為什麼？因為這句話其實就是關閉了所有交流和溝通的可能，而去強迫他人要「尊重」另一方的「就是不喜歡」。
有句話說，眼睛裡是大便，就看什麼都是大便。那麼到底是眼睛的問題？還是真的是所有事情都是大便哩？
話說回來，如果這個人要對方「尊重」他「就是不喜歡」的權利，那麼他又怎麼會一開始就用「強迫」的口吻哩？就是這樣吊詭和矛盾。
回到強姨的訪問，那些有組織的宗教之所以讓人感到心寒的也就是這種「假裝尊重但是其實是直接強迫」的態度。
我們能夠怎麼辦呢？就是繼續發聲，繼續讓人聽見。這沒辦法靠別人，還真得自己來！所以，同志們，繼續加油吧！真的是「革命尚未成功，同志仍須努力」呀！和平、奮鬥、救自己呀！（救自己就是救同胞呀！呵呵！）

Sir Elton: Ban organised religion
Sir Elton John has said he would like to see all organised religion banned and accused it of trying to "turn hatred towards gay people".
Organised religion lacked compassion and turned people into "hateful lemmings", he told the Observer.
But the musician said he loved the idea of the teachings of Jesus Christ and the beautiful stories about it which he had learned at Sunday school.
And he said there were many gays he knew who loved their religion.
'Doesn't work'
His comments were made in a special gay edition of the Observer Music Monthly Magazine, where he was interviewed by Scissor Sisters' Jake Shears.
"I think religion has always tried to turn hatred towards gay people," he said. "Religion promotes the hatred and spite against gays.
"But there are so many people I know who are gay and love their religion."
According to the singer-songwriter, 59, his solution would be to "ban religion completely, even though there are some wonderful things about it".
He added: "I love the idea of the teachings of Jesus Christ and the beautiful stories about it, which I loved in Sunday school and I collected all the little stickers and put them in my book.
"But the reality is that organised religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate."
He also said that the problems experienced by many gays in former nations of the Soviet bloc, such as Poland, Latvia and Russia were caused by the church supporting anti-gay movements.
'God's people'
And he called on the leaders of major religions to hold a "conclave" to discuss the fate of the world - which he said was "near escalating to World War Three".
"I said this after 9/11 and people thought I was nuts," he said. "It's all got to be dialogue - that's the only way. Get everybody from each religion together and say 'Listen, this can't go on. Why do we have all this hatred?'
"We are all God's people; we have to get along and the [religious leaders] have to lead the way. If they don't do it, who else is going to do it? They're not going to do it and it's left to musicians or to someone else to deal with it."
He also said he would continue to campaign for gay rights.
"I'm going to fight for them, whether I do it silently behind the scenes or so vocally that I get locked up."
