Jesus Loves Me
I'm becoming more and more impressed with how much Christianity really is a system of control. Just take this simple song, 'Jesus Loves Me.' This is a horrible song, and they've been teaching it to three year olds for at least as long as my father was that age, which maybe explains something about him. Of course, I probably learned it at about that age too; well shit, that explains some things about me too.
Christianity is great because if you reverse all of its ideas you have a great strategy for having a healthy understanding of reality and yourself. (I think that's a big part of what LaVey was doing.)
"Jesus loves me this I know
for the Bible tells me so"
Jesus isn't capable of loving me, because he doesn't exist. Don't bother thinking about it, or getting more information, it's in the Bible kids, so it has to be true!
"little ones to him belong
they are weak while he is strong"
This is the important part; this is a fundamental concept of Christianity. We're all hopeless and weak, destined to keep repeating the same sins for the rest of our fleshly lives, since God apparently was so fucking drunk when he created the world that he did a pretty screwy job of it completely fucked up, if you look at the world from a Christian perspective. And like Him we're just going to keep being addicted to drugs, alcohol, sex, science, and all kinds of other bad habits. We're going to continue being total scumbags to each other and just pathetic in general because we're incapable of pulling our heads out of our asses and reaching for something better. Or maybe it's because you keep praying to a God that doesn't exist, and who automatically forgives you of anything, rather than actually trying (because, we're hopeless after all.)
Heaven forbid (literally) I believe in myself or anyone else. I have to humble, and believe in God, He'll make up for all my deficiencies (that whole drunk thing).
Fuck all of that. I'll believe in myself. I actually exist, and I think that's only the first big advantage of several that I have over this drunken dipshit the Christians call God.
Maybe tomorrow I'll pick apart "Amazing Grace." Probably not, but you never know.
