BLOG ENTRY: SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL;

Okay you’re passionate about your cause.

I’m trying to understand.
I get it

You’re cause is just.

I’m trying to understand.

I get it

You believe in life. Murder’s not cool. I’m trying to understand. You prefer that pregnant women and the a-holes who contributed the sperm take responsibility for their actions, and not kill the outcome.
Okay, quite reasonable, I get it.

You believe that there’s a higher power in the universe . . . an intelligence that might have its shit together a lot better than we stupid humans do. Okay, that doesn’t faze me at all—I’m not so sure about that, but I hope you’re right, and agnostic that I am, I allow the possibility [becuz, by the way, “agnostic” means, “I don’t know”].

But what’s with the “Jesus Christ as my lord & savior” stuff? What’s that about? You really want to shove that down my throat? He was an avatar, a great dude, if he existed. The message is clear— love & tolerance; forgiveness . . . and altruism, NOT self-centeredness [do you really think that our societies are more altruistic than self-centered? Pulleeze!]. If you can’t tolerate my belief that the JC lord & savior stuff is over-the-top [for me], then you’re not following those messages at all!

And what’s with the freakin’ paraphernalia — rosaries from rear-views, strings of prayer beads all over, prayer rugs, 50,000 Buddha images per square inch, goddesses with 52 arms? What the heck is that about. And praying 5 times a day. Come on; isn’t this completely over-the-top? I mean, I’m going to tolerate your right to do it, have it, believe it, but do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT push it on me, tell me that I’m a dysfunctional heathen because I’m lacking in those accouterments or action items. Puulleeze!!
