When Does Innocence End?

Yeah, jbor said that too yesterday - but again: what blasphemy, in
Weissmann's humble opinion, have the monks committed if not buggering the
boys. And we know that this was (and is) common practice. Whether those
monks were vaguely benevolent like jbor believes - I doubt that. What
sources do we have from those days? Memoirs, diaries - definitely no
Herero-sources.
Again, how come that for the boy the name of god is a metaphor for being
sodomized, if I'm wrong?
And if I'm wrong here there still remains the connection implemented by the
author of the text through letting Weissmann think of missionary blasphemies
while the only one who is "blasphemical" in the literal sense of the word
jbor has explained is Enzian?
They "corrupted" me too by instilling Christianity, all that shame and guilt
thing - but I don't call "the name" at the "act" and brought up under
Christian rules in an unchristian society hasn't made me gay, apart from the
fact that I don't believe that homosexuality is a Christian sickness or a
"malfunction" at all. It's just a way of making love in another way (The
Greek Way, Lot 49) I don't share. I got a certain taste for kinky things but
. . .to answer one of jbors earlier questions (11.09.): yes, I do believe
that important and great literature like this has altered my view of the
things around me, my values.
I wish you the double of what you are wishing me.
V. will be fine.
