ok, first off
let us set something straight
philosophers are nothing more
than professional bullshit artists
now that we have that settled
we can move on
let me tell you how I feel
I am a good man
I don’t go to church
but you couldn’t tell
just by looking at me
I am polite
courteous
I use my signal light at every turn
don’t smoke
don’t drink
well I don’t drink as much
and my perversions
are nothing more than late night cinemax
the only thing that scares me
is that I am completely normal
you probably couldn’t pick me out of a crowd
and if you did
wouldn’t remember me the next day
completely fucking normal
but what makes me different
is the fact
the one little simple fact
that I don’t need some religious crutch
to hold me up
to help me get through the day
I don’t need your savior
your god, any god for that matter
and I sure as hell do not need some
pedophile in a priest suit
to sprinkle me with holy water
just so I can sleep at night
you may call this harsh
but harsh is waking up in this reality
that for 2000 years
people have been deceived
by what they so sheepishly believe
from the Jews to Jesus
all pretending they need us
but only needing our money
so they can build bigger temples
just so they can get more money
to build even bigger temples
I saw this sign today
upsetting me to anger
3200 babies killed by abortion each day
how about this for you
3200 cultures
3200 civilizations
killed by Christianity
want to talk about death tolls?
try counting the crusades
then the introduction of disease
to an entire continent
leaving nothing but beautiful ruins
to unravel ancient mysteries
entire fucking cultures
gone
because some militant bible missionary
feels god wants him
to go to Africa and convert tribes
and wipe away cultures
raping heritage
and this idiot has the nerve
to get in my face and act so holy
yeah, from Jews to Jesus
Mohammed is as full of shit as the rest of ’em
you got god’s chosen people
self deluded ego maniacs
fighting over holy land
over 3000 year old real-estate
and that’s what it is really
ruined real-estate
by bloodshed, by war
the very nature of their being
tarnished by hypocrisy
love thy neighbor
only if he is a Christian and you are a Christian
only if he is a Muslim and you are a Muslim
only if he is a Jew and you are a Jew
thou shalt not kill
unless they think or worship differently than you
then let your yards become a killing field
daddy o daddy o oh dad…
with your Sunday morning routine
thinking church will make you a better man
pathetic
wake the fuck up people
where is your god
not here, that’s for damn sure
don’t get me wrong
I am not saying that atheism will save the world
but you will never see an atheist killing an agnostic
because of their beliefs
sure I’m a nihilist
but I am a realist
and I realize that religion is full of shit
prove me wrong
show me one real, and I mean real miracle
something that will prove god is here
and if he is here
where is he
why would this god, this perfect all knowing god
create a world filled with hate
filled with hunger
filled with death
filled with a bunch of idiots who kill in his name
which never made any sense to me
that killing is ok, if we are doing it for god
sounds sort of like sacrificing doesn’t it
they don’t believe in our god so if we can’t convert them
kill them
it’s ok, it’s for god
this is what he wants us to do
are you fucking insane?
can’t you fucking read?
but that’s what I am dealing with
dealing against
a bunch of clueless sheep
who lack the mental capacity to think on their own
who need to be told how to live
what to do
when to eat
and more importantly
who to kill
I gave up on god a long time ago
I have lived a good life
probably do a lot more good things
than your congregation of hypocrites
but I am proud of you dad
you are no longer a holiday hero
now that you have your perfect Sunday attendance card
remember I fought for this country of ours
you dodged the draft
left your wife and two kids
for a cheap floozy with a big nose and bad perfume
but god will forgive you
now that you show up on a regular basis
fuck that shit
I mean FUCK THAT SHIT
and if that is how god works
in these mysterious ways
then he wins the prize
the master bullshit artist
because he has been bullshitting billions of people
for over 2000 years
those kind of numbers
Bill Gates and McDonalds can’t generate
Christianity, killing off the competition since the year 0
you want to know when and why
I became this way
I was 11, it was at church
on a Sunday, with my baby-sitter
because mom had to work
I really can’t remember the questions
but I remember the answer all too clear
that we are not meant to question the lord
I was 11 but I wasn’t naive
if you abolish asking questions
then you control what people believe
this guy
this holy guy that preaches for a price
can’t answer a simple question of why
from that day on
I questioned everything
and only religion and politics
fear the truth, the real truth
the reality that they are a farce
the reality that keeps their pockets filled with cash
their pews filled with sheep
they will tell you anything
to keep that collection plate rolling to the bank
if god was god
you think he would have a house
that could function without money
I once heard a great quote
but over time I forgotten the verbatim
but it said
that any preacher who has more than one suit
while there is a still a man without a suit, is a con man
and that’s what I think church is
one
big
fucking
con
am I better than you
no
but I can admit it
so I say fuck a lot
no harm in that
but does that make you better than me
hell fucking no
I just have the balls to ask the questions
that you pull like wool over your eyes
only way of knowing for sure
is for one of us to die
worm food or hell… both kinda suck ass
but maybe on my death bed, in a moment of weakness
I will ask god to forgive me, get that last minute redemption
like it is some big insurance policy for the afterlife
and if I do make it to heaven, you can bet your sweet ass
I have a hell of a lot of questions for god
like why is this world so screwed up
what kind of sick twisted fuck would send his own son off to die
how could he allow cancer and rapists to run free
you know… shit like that
