GoRemy, Habib Abdul Habib

Upper left corners make him happy.

One of my students made me aware of this comedy sensation today.  I laughed so hard.  I don't know his real name, but I'll go with his youtube name and character name.  I hope you enjoy the videos.

GoRemy was interviewed by third degree, Anderson Cooper recently.

A word about Arab Americans

Ralph Nader,
Lebanese American

I am one.  My family is mostly French Canadian and arrived in this land in the 17th Century.  There is some Syrian in my family as well.  I am not alone.  There are millions of Americans who trace ancestry to the Middle East.  AND MANY OF US ARE CHRISTIANS!!!!!

• Maronites, Melkites, Chaldeans, Copts, Antiochians, and dozens of other Christian churches which are descended from the 12 apostles, have churches and congregations in the United States.
• Jesus' first miracle happened in Lebanon at Cana!
• Christians were first called "Christian" in Antioch, present-day Syria

Cana in Lebanon was Jesus' first miracle

To love Jesus and the ancient church is to love people from the Middle East!

Here are some Arab Americans of note.

The Starship "Enterprise"

Sixth Degree: The Starship Enterprise


Fifth Degree: George Takei

Fourth Degree: Clint McCance
Mr. McCance's apology on Anderson Cooper's show is here.

Third Degree: Anderson Cooper

Is Anderson Cooper gay?
Delving into such a question is itself sin.  His struggles are his problem, your
struggles are your problem.  In this age of 24 hour gossip, it's tough not to wonder.

Second Degree: John Stewart
Stewart has interviewed many first-degreers.

Are Homosexual Persons Damned?
Being gay is morally neutral.  So is being alcoholic, being diabetic, and being heterosexual.  The sins we struggle with don't make us sinful unless we DO them.  Being gay isn't a sin, but having sex with people of the same sex is.  Being an alcoholic is not a sin, but getting drunk is.  Being diabetic is not a sin, but abusing food and your body is.  Being heterosexual is not a sin but rape, adultery, abortion, fornication, and pornography ARE!  Listen to Father Larry Richards discuss this topic.

If you hate homosexual persons, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.  You cannot be the arms of Christ, the hands of Christ, and the mind of Christ with a homosexual person if you harbor hate to them.  The hate will kill your soul, not theirs.  If you really want to help others, learn to love all people.

Discuss with your spiritual father, spouse, friends, etc.  Go to confession.  Pray, read scriptures and repeat.

Unless you forgive, you are damned!
