Please help, there's some fucking great cross in the town centre for some reason and it's scaring me |
You know what scares me the most, it's when people talk about God and Jesus
as if it were FACT. That and redneck freaks trying to get evolution banned
from being taught in schools in America. Eeek.
I'll tell you what I find "miraculous" about Jesus. That so many people have
for so long been so suckered into swallowing such inconsistant, hypocritical
tripe. Barely any of the Christmas story matches any kind of historical
evidence from around that time. We've stopped believing those other ancient
superstitions and that "there be beasties in them there woods", so why are
so many still believing that offal about fishes and loaves and walking on
water and all the rest. Ohhhh......bollocks.

I'm scared too by the dozens of people walking down the sidewalks carrying
crosses. I thought it would be over on Friday, but I was wrong...

Carry around a hammer and some big nails and when ever you see one of these
people, say "Can I nail you to that for you?"

then bring in some topics like abortion and gay rights and make them squirm
a bit...
"Can I nail you to that, then have my medical doctor perform an abortion
procedure, then have my gay friend molest you?"

Really? Big crosses, or little ones? Is this just people walking
to church or is it like a demonstration?
Wierd.

I think they're walking to/from church, but it's probably designed as a
demonstration.

It all boils down to one thing: Some people are afraid of dying. Religion is
the only hope they have over their fear of death...hence "Faith"

Good Point...let me rephrase that: "Some people are afraid of what happens
after they die....." I am not really happy about the reality of "dying" but
I do know it is inevitable.

Are you really "afraid" of dying, or simply "just not looking forward to
it"?

***** scared at times, when all I have to do is remind myself of the total
inevitability of it. The fact that no one walking this earth can prove what
happens afterwards. That has to be the biggest bugger of all. Anyway that's
off on a tangent from the n.g. a bit, sorry.
