I Am Going to Say Something Controversial

Truly, God is nothing but a myth. The church is even corrupt by its ways. Religion is like this: love me or go to hell and suffer. Honestly, it's fine to really have faith but in the end of the day, it's nothing but a myth. Propaganda and scapegoats are used nowadays for religion to gain more brain washed people. Quote from Marilyn Manson's song "The Fight Song" in Holywood (In The Shadows of The Valley of Death): "I'm not a slave to a God that doesn't exists."

I believe in the message that Jesus stood for but it disturbs me that the primary representation of him in many of today's churches is as a martyr for other people's sin. It's like people use death and image on the cross to excuse themselves for being shitty humans to each other and not taking responsibility for anything. What I killed someone? It's all good because this man died a horrible death and therefore me hurting another is no big deal.

He died a horrific death in a matter of hours. But he spent a lifetime spreading love and peace wherever he went and encouraged humans to be of service to one another and love without judgement.

It's grotesque to me that some churches place life size representations of a man's body nailed to a piece of wood inside a building of worship and then wonder whey non-church goers have the hang-ups with religion that we have.

I will be damned if I walk around with a dead dude on a cross around my neck!! I don't see how people can't see how sick that is... shows the power of brainwashing that they can worship a dead body tortured and nailed to a cross... you usually only see that in extreme BDSM drawings and it is used to shock people for the most part... sheesh
