GOD, the great cosmic bully and joker.a blood thirsty Deity with a thousand names and a million faces. ever vengeful and watching , with the deepest pockets in the known universe. from the cavemen shivering in fear from every flash of lightning to children in sunday school learning of the sins of theirs that killed their god. oceans of blood have been spilled in his/her/its name. torture , incarceration and death all with the stroke of his mighty hand through his vicars on earth. every major event in history is shrouded in the church's shadow like an ever-present black cloud of doom. if the almighty loves us so much why does he require so much suffering and sorrow?
men sat down and wrote out the rules that were supposedly sent via burning bush, hallucination , or just downright lie, on how the one who is all wishes us to show our devotion. on our knees cowering we beg and plead for this that and the other while the divine coin flip is cast to decide the fate of our wishes. great buildings erected in honor of our creator are built daily. we flock , one day a week to give thanks for our graces and beg for mercy in our plights. follow the book these aforementioned men have written, and edited and rewritten over the centuries, mis-translations , spelling errors and outright fiction adding to the confusion. for every passage there lies a contradicting one. yet we carry the books as if they are a set of rules to a game. admit our sins and all is forgiven or "donate" 10% of our earnings weekly as if putting a down payment on our place in the afterlife.don't worry what you do somewhere in the books you can find salvation for it. the church has over-looked everything from the crusades, to the burning of intelligent women at the stake , to slavery , to the holocaust , to the anti-communist movement, to the more recent muslim wars. it seems we've come full circle fighting on the original holy battlefields where the soil is barren and the place has become a desert wasteland with pockets of greed sprouting from the earth through derricks . killing our home in the name of the almighty dollar. ignoring the signs. we had so many hurricanes this year they used the whole alphabet. floods , mudslides , melting polar caps. those appointed to lead us searching for a way to leave us once the going gets towards time to go. blood-sacrifice is at an all time high and it seems we may never quench gods thirst.
