why don't we do it in the road?
i got a speeding ticket this morning on my way to work. forty three in a twenty five. i'm so bummed.
yesterday i told my mom i didn't consider myself to be a christian anymore, at least not in the "southern baptist" sense. i explained to her my opinions of it all, and told her i didn't believe in hell when she told me that's where i'd go if i didn't change the way i was thinking. i told her i don't need to be threatened with something so negative in order for me to be a good person but it seems that's the way religion works. you follow this set of rules that you don't quite understand, written by someone you've never met and have no hardcore proof of their existence OTHER than the actual text itself, and then later there's a payoff? how does that work? it's the whole "big brother is watching you" concept that orwell tossed out... only a lot more pathetic and a lot less implemented.
i know christians who are addicted to pain pills, cheat on their spouses, steal from their own church, drink every weekend, and gamble. fuck them. fuck them for trying to have their cake and eat it, too. they hold themselves so high and mighty yet carry out actions that i'd never dream of doing, but then i'm the bad one because i don't believe i'll be tortured in an everlasting fiery pit for not living as they do. this world has gone mad.
