I can hardly believe that Christianity is still so prevalent in this, the year of our Lord, 2010.  It’s fucking bizarre that an organization advocating homophobia and misogyny is so globally cherished.  

I read about pope cover-up scandals and I wonder why there is even still a pope, with his ridiculous, grandiose Chinese take-out box hat.  And why are there pedophiles in white plastic collars getting away with diddling children like it was jaywalking?

I suppose I could just type out the lyrics to Imagine, except I’m all for separate countries.  Just not divisions based on outdated, preposterous dogma.
    
God has a plan.

No.  He doesn’t.  God doesn’t exist.  If Jesus existed, he was just another guy slapped up on a cross.  Nothing I’m saying is revolutionary, and I know this.  It’s all been said, and more eloquently than I myself am capable, but the more it's said, the more it will be heard.  I mean, how often do you hear Jesus was the son of God or God is just and loving?  These are not original sentiments to be sure.  So I say,

There is no God, Heaven, or Hell, all religion is man-made, and you are not morally superior because of your faith.

I don’t do math equations on an abacus and I have certainly moved on from the Sega Genesis, and that Genesis only dates back to 1991.  Eventually, mankind will look upon present-day organized religion the way we ourselves look back on the witch trials, with incredulous contempt. 

We’ve accepted that the Earth is not flat.  We’ve accepted that the Sun does not revolve around the Earth.  Why can’t we now collectively accept that the Bible is a man-written book of conventions with as much application in today’s society as a cruise ship’s directive to not sail off the edge the world?  

I don’t require a “good book” to know not to kill, murder, or steal.  I’m even nice to my neighbor all by myself.  But I do occasionally wish that I'm wrong, if for nothing else, to watch those depraved Catholic priests get fisted like broken vending machines in Hell.  Hallelujah.
