flatlander divine eros
Life in Lubbock, Texas, taught me two things:
One is that God loves you and you're going to burn in Hell.
The other is that sex is the most awful, filthy thing on Earth
and you should save it for someone you love.

Yep
this sounds like
what a lot of churches teach
however inadvertently
what great irony
in Mr. Hancock's words
mr. hancock
is a texas troubadour
with joe ely
and jimmy dale Gilmore
they are the flatlanders
do all the Christian churches in some way or another
inculcate this sort of demented catechesis
I wonder?
the sensible catholic way has always been
that love is to be channeled into holy order
in the 17th - 18th century there was a morality
that took on some severity in some catholic circles
I know pascal struggled with all of this
it was a knee-jerk reaction to the reformation churches
and a response to growing liberalism
in regards to human relationships
priests were observing the physical decadence
venereal disease and women cast into utter desperation
and forgotten and discarded by 'progress'
which followed in the wake of "enlightened human desire"
the enlightenment era was distinctly anti-hell
I've been working on a song
focused on the life and times of norma mccorvey
with some of these sordid themes involved
nice to have you back in the fray
as it were
