Ky Dickens new film "Fish Out Of Water"


"Fish out of Water" by film maker Ky Dickens explores the current misconceptions about the bibles interpretation of homosexuality. Ky is featured in the Windy City Times December 12 2008 edition.

"Religion is a complicated topic. Add in homosexuality, and get ready for an onslaught of people saying, “You're wrong,” “That's sinful” and “We'll never see eye to eye.”

"With her new documentary, Fish Out of Water, Chicago filmmaker Ky Dickens tackles both sides with an arsenal of honesty, passion and a little yellow bird."

(Doubt) follows 'Catholic Woodstock'

"Some prefer to call it a Catholic Woodstock - a festival of peace, love and Christianity.

But the message of World Youth Day has been undercut by the controversies of the recent past: the sexual abuse scandal which refuses to go away.
In the lead up to the event, Australia's most senior Catholic, Cardinal George Pell, has faced fresh allegations of a cover-up in the case of a young man indecently assaulted in the early 1980s.

In a report which generated a barrage of negative headlines, the ABC's Lateline programme revealed the shocking story of Anthony Jones, a religious education coordinator, who was indecently assaulted by a Sydney priest, Father Terence Goodall.

Originally, the Cardinal dismissed Anthony Jones's allegations of sexual assault, saying the church had received no other complaints against Father Goodall.

But newly-uncovered documents reveal that Cardinal Pell was aware of another allegation against the priest."

Vatican's Christmas Message : Religious creedence to violence in it's purest sense

If the planet is to be saved we must save ourselves from Gays and Transgender people and save the rain forest.
Religious creedence to violence in it's most damning form.

In the event of a natural or man made catastrophe that endangers humanities survival the average Joe (now a average hate filled homophobic Catholic, Mormon or Islamic bot)will find a rope and hang a gay or transgender person.

All this on Christmas eve on the heals of the Catholic and Mormon contribution to the passage of prop.8 and its recent Opposition to Decriminalization of Homosexuality

From the "leader" of the worlds largest "christian" religion.

On Christmas eve there were people responding to this message by wishing the Pope was dead.

On Christmas eve.

One Christian wishing death on another.

Great job Pope. I will not allow anger and hate to rule my life. You are an example of where that leads.
I will make rational thought, prayer, and love and hope my standard. Everyday. God Bless us.
