ok, first off
\nlet us set something straight
\nphilosophers are nothing more
\nthan professional bullshit artists
\nnow that we have that settled
\nwe can move on
\nlet me tell you how I feel
\nI am a good man
\nI don’t go to church
\nbut you couldn’t tell
\njust by looking at me
\nI am polite
\ncourteous
\nI use my signal light at every turn
\ndon’t smoke
\ndon’t drink
\nwell I don’t drink as much
\nand my perversions
\nare nothing more than late night cinemax
\nthe only thing that scares me
\nis that I am completely normal
\nyou probably couldn’t pick me out of a crowd
\nand if you did
\nwouldn’t remember me the next day
\ncompletely fucking normal
\nbut what makes me different
\nis the fact
\nthe one little simple fact
\nthat I don’t need some religious crutch
\nto hold me up
\nto help me get through the day
\nI don’t need your savior
\nyour god, any god for that matter
\nand I sure as hell do not need some
\npedophile in a priest suit
\nto sprinkle me with holy water
\njust so I can sleep at night
\nyou may call this harsh
\nbut harsh is waking up in this reality
\nthat for 2000 years
\npeople have been deceived
\nby what they so sheepishly believe
\nfrom the Jews to Jesus
\nall pretending they need us
\nbut only needing our money
\nso they can build bigger temples
\njust so they can get more money
\nto build even bigger temples<\/p>\n
I saw this sign today
\nupsetting me to anger
\n3200 babies killed by abortion each day
\nhow about this for you
\n3200 cultures
\n3200 civilizations
\nkilled by Christianity
\nwant to talk about death tolls?
\ntry counting the crusades
\nthen the introduction of disease
\nto an entire continent
\nleaving nothing but beautiful ruins
\nto unravel ancient mysteries
\nentire fucking cultures
\ngone
\nbecause some militant bible missionary
\nfeels god wants him
\nto go to Africa and convert tribes
\nand wipe away cultures
\nraping heritage
\nand this idiot has the nerve
\nto get in my face and act so holy
\nyeah, from Jews to Jesus<\/p>\n
Mohammed is as full of shit as the rest of ’em
\nyou got god’s chosen people
\nself deluded ego maniacs
\nfighting over holy land
\nover 3000 year old real-estate
\nand that’s what it is really
\nruined real-estate
\nby bloodshed, by war
\nthe very nature of their being
\ntarnished by hypocrisy
\nlove thy neighbor
\nonly if he is a Christian and you are a Christian
\nonly if he is a Muslim and you are a Muslim
\nonly if he is a Jew and you are a Jew
\nthou shalt not kill
\nunless they think or worship differently than you
\nthen let your yards become a killing field
\ndaddy o daddy o oh dad…
\nwith your Sunday morning routine
\nthinking church will make you a better man
\npathetic
\nwake the fuck up people
\nwhere is your god
\nnot here, that’s for damn sure
\ndon’t get me wrong
\nI am not saying that atheism will save the world
\nbut you will never see an atheist killing an agnostic
\nbecause of their beliefs
\nsure I’m a nihilist
\nbut I am a realist
\nand I realize that religion is full of shit
\nprove me wrong
\nshow me one real, and I mean real miracle
\nsomething that will prove god is here
\nand if he is here
\nwhere is he
\nwhy would this god, this perfect all knowing god
\ncreate a world filled with hate
\nfilled with hunger
\nfilled with death
\nfilled with a bunch of idiots who kill in his name
\nwhich never made any sense to me
\nthat killing is ok, if we are doing it for god
\nsounds sort of like sacrificing doesn’t it
\nthey don’t believe in our god so if we can’t convert them
\nkill them
\nit’s ok, it’s for god
\nthis is what he wants us to do
\nare you fucking insane?
\ncan’t you fucking read?
\nbut that’s what I am dealing with
\ndealing against
\na bunch of clueless sheep
\nwho lack the mental capacity to think on their own
\nwho need to be told how to live
\nwhat to do
\nwhen to eat
\nand more importantly
\nwho to kill
\nI gave up on god a long time ago
\nI have lived a good life
\nprobably do a lot more good things
\nthan your congregation of hypocrites
\nbut I am proud of you dad
\nyou are no longer a holiday hero
\nnow that you have your perfect Sunday attendance card
\nremember I fought for this country of ours
\nyou dodged the draft
\nleft your wife and two kids
\nfor a cheap floozy with a big nose and bad perfume
\nbut god will forgive you
\nnow that you show up on a regular basis
\nfuck that shit
\nI mean FUCK THAT SHIT
\nand if that is how god works
\nin these mysterious ways
\nthen he wins the prize
\nthe master bullshit artist
\nbecause he has been bullshitting billions of people
\nfor over 2000 years
\nthose kind of numbers
\nBill Gates and McDonalds can’t generate
\nChristianity, killing off the competition since the year 0
\nyou want to know when and why
\nI became this way
\nI was 11, it was at church
\non a Sunday, with my baby-sitter
\nbecause mom had to work
\nI really can’t remember the questions
\nbut I remember the answer all too clear
\nthat we are not meant to question the lord
\nI was 11 but I wasn’t naive
\nif you abolish asking questions
\nthen you control what people believe
\nthis guy
\nthis holy guy that preaches for a price
\ncan’t answer a simple question of why
\nfrom that day on
\nI questioned everything
\nand only religion and politics
\nfear the truth, the real truth
\nthe reality that they are a farce
\nthe reality that keeps their pockets filled with cash
\ntheir pews filled with sheep
\nthey will tell you anything
\nto keep that collection plate rolling to the bank
\nif god was god
\nyou think he would have a house
\nthat could function without money
\nI once heard a great quote
\nbut over time I forgotten the verbatim
\nbut it said
\nthat any preacher who has more than one suit
\nwhile there is a still a man without a suit, is a con man
\nand that’s what I think church is
\none
\nbig
\nfucking
\ncon
\nam I better than you
\nno
\nbut I can admit it
\nso I say fuck a lot
\nno harm in that
\nbut does that make you better than me
\nhell fucking no
\nI just have the balls to ask the questions
\nthat you pull like wool over your eyes
\nonly way of knowing for sure
\nis for one of us to die
\nworm food or hell… both kinda suck ass
\nbut maybe on my death bed, in a moment of weakness
\nI will ask god to forgive me, get that last minute redemption
\nlike it is some big insurance policy for the afterlife
\nand if I do make it to heaven, you can bet your sweet ass
\nI have a hell of a lot of questions for god
\nlike why is this world so screwed up
\nwhat kind of sick twisted fuck would send his own son off to die
\nhow could he allow cancer and rapists to run free
\nyou know… shit like that<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
