The Pretenders
They are fucking everywhere. And they're a reason why I've lost faith in religion. When I go to church, and I see loads of men lining up for communion, I get sick because I know they're a bunch of fucking masturbators. I go to Greenbelt Church (I barely know what the real name of that place is), and it is a place of sheer irony. It's surrounded by malls (I wonder how Jesus would've wrecked it all if he were alive today)--by stores of high class brands that are owned by dipshit rich people who pretend to be Christian. And Jesus said, leave everything and be poor. And another thing, even the tax collector guy in the Gospels was willing to shell out 10% of his income, and what do people dish out every week? 20 peso bills? Change? What the fuck?
I can go on and on and on ranting about the people in the church. I do that every fucking Sunday.
The Pretenders are everywhere. God gave them a face and they put a mask on it.* Sometimes the mask becomes their real face, and the real one is muffled--lost forever.
You make me sick, because I value sincerity. At least be true to yourself.
Honestly, I can't seem to make a decent rant about you hypocrites because I get too pissed. My anger gets in the way.
"You know I hate, detest, and can't bear a lie, not because I am straighter than the rest of us, but simply because it appalls me. There is a taint of death, a flavour of mortality in lies — which is exactly what I hate and detest in the world — what I want to forget. It makes me miserable and sick, like biting something rotten would do. Temperament, I suppose."
Get out your Bibles and do some close reading instead of going to your fucking holidays. Asses.

Holy Week Test of Faith
Oh, Holy Week right now. Well, oh God's great bearers of truth debunk this:
The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.

ReplyDeletei would like to comment that masturbating is a physiological aspect in men and women that is completely normal. o.o. it's not exactly bad since it is a part of human anatomy and physiology. the human body is also a tool for pleasure (not just reproduction, contrary to what the church would like to point out). in women, did you know the the clitoris has no known reproductive function? it's just there for pleasure. in relation to masturbation. it's perfectly normal for the male anatomy to seek pleasure as well.
so don't judge all masturbators out there who take communion. :D
I know, but the church clearly declares it as a sin. You either blame the church for failing to comprehend what you pointed out (I just remembered, the Pope doesn't want condoms to be spread around Africa as to prevent AIDS) or you blame the men for not sitting out of communion or confessing before going.
ReplyDeleteA couple of weeks ago, before the mass ended, the priest told the attendees to not receive communion in a state of mortal sin. Maybe he knows.
On a side note:
ANG DAMING ALAM A. LOLOLOLOLOLOL.
well, that is why i've said to you in yahoo messenger, that there are some things in religion that i don't believe in.
ReplyDeleteAt this rate, we're using my blog as we use Yahoo Messenger. Ha ha.
ReplyDeleteer. yeah. haha. anyway, why don't we just get back to ym then?
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, but not all are pretenders. Surely, there are still few people who are true to their faith.
ReplyDeletewow...looooong post....*starts to read*
ReplyDeletei always believed that God let us have free will that we may understand things in our own way. if God just wanted us to believe and do everything strictly according to what He wants, then what's the use of free will, just so he can see us burn for choosing the wrong choices? maybe its God's idea for a good laugh? well, i dunno, i don't think so. i think the reason we have free will is so that we could believe and understand God in our own way, so that our connection to him is that much more personal and important. i always believed that the bible, and other church stuff, are just guidelines to live by, but not really mandates of heaven to "obey or die". the thing is, i think people are taking christianity way out of context, and because of that, most people are either dogmatic hypocrites or pretenders as you say.
ReplyDeleteyou might think my post is not related sorta, but it really is...and i'm sleepy so magulo yung statements ko haha.
vic, don't lose faith in the religion, if anything, consider yourself the real believer for knowing what's wrong and what to do about it. even if you say you don't believe anymore, if you look at it from my point of view, you've been living your life just as the bible would say you should, even if you're just being yourself. you know why?
cuz you care.
p.s. vic, masturbators can be good christians too. take it from me. ^_^
