Class Is In Session

It seems people must be bored with the sorry existence they call their lives. It wasn't bad enough to be complete morons but now such morons feel the need to rub salt in the wounds of other worldly afflictions.

Because I generally pity the uneducated, that would be those who borrow diplomas instead of earning their own, I feel the need to enlighten. ANYONE can register for recognition as a religion. Hell, you can officially register to be your own country within this country. It doesn't take much. For a mere seventy five dollars, you too can obtain the materials that will help you become a proud representative of "The Darkside." Are you laughing yet, because I already find this hysterical.

Before you attempt to justify the pathetic way in which your ego induced little power trips somehow mean something, you may wish to get off your ass and read a book. You have turned something which may be real for many into a sorry ass joke for many more. "Hey, it's a recognized religion." And?

Religion according to Merriam Websters Dictionary:

Main Entry: re·li·gion

Pronunciation: \ri-ˈli-jən\

Function: noun

Etymology: Middle English religioun, from Anglo-French religiun, Latin religion-, religio supernatural constraint, sanction, religious practice, perhaps from religare to restrain, tie back — more at rely

Date: 13th century

Restrain...I could restrain sheep, couldn't I?

1 a : the state of a religious b (1) : the service and worship of God or the supernatural (2) : commitment or devotion to religious faith or observance
2 : a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices
3 archaic : scrupulous conformity : conscientiousness
4 : a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith

According to the "secret" society that seems to have a very public website...not very secret at all if you ask me, this recognized religion is "not based on faith but fact." I don't think they own a dictionary. Or understand the English language. See above.

That lovely Bible that you can purchase for that seventy five bucks I was talking about says something about recognizing the difference between the worlds of truth and fantasy. Let me repeat that for the slow ones. Truth and fantasy.

Wow...that sounds like...Oh I don't know...SL! Because if everyone was living "the truth" of their worlds, I doubt everyone would be gorgeous, in the best of health, and without flaw. So yes my dears, your little world of walls and tags and pretentiousness (1 : characterized by pretension: as a : making usually unjustified or excessive claims (as of value or standing) <the pretentious fraud who assumes a love of culture that is alien to him — Richard Watts> b : expressive of affected, unwarranted, or exaggerated importance, worth, or stature) you display is a sham.

Why all the education, Shasta? Why do I care what these words mean? Because if you are reading this, I would hope you are not a fucking sheep. In religion, you bask in "scrupulous conformity." But what if I don't wish to conform, Shasta? What if I like being my own person with my own thoughts and feelings? Well, tough titty apparently.

Your religion has six beautiful little declarations. (But only if you make that active membership payment...don't forget.)

You will develop willpower and mental strength. I think thats called being an adult. And maybe goes along with that whole read a fucking book thing.

You will get your way with people. I like this one. Apparently, it's at all costs. Change a few words here or there, make a few bans, throw around some false accusations, claim superiority, etc etc. Why does this sound sickeningly familiar?

You will master self defense secrets. Now thats just special.

Improve and protect your health. I like to call this "I'm too lazy to get my fat ass up and take care of myself." Stop eating crap, stop making excuses and go run a mile...on the highway.

You will achieve authentic financial freedom. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And lastly, you will live beyond the usual lifespan. DAMN IT, DAMN IT, DAMN IT!

You want to follow a "religion," be my guest. You want to justify what you do behind the word "religion." Even better. What you DON'T do is attack good natured people about struggles you know nothing about. I wish death upon no one, but it will touch us all sooner or later. And when it does, when it captures the love of your life, the one who holds your heart, the one who makes you smile, the one who gives you reason to wake up every day...you will know anguish. You will know pain. You will know a sickness that will never dissipate. And in knowing this agony, I advise you only one thing. Look to that joke you call a religion. Look to those herders that move you like sheep. Look to your falsehoods and attempt to grasp something that was never there.

So play the game. Play it well. Live it up. Because some day, you will hit rock bottom. You will know a treacherous, overpowering, debilitating surge of pain. And when you do, may your ego...which you call God, save you. Be careful of the daggers you throw. Because there is always someone faster and smarter than you, waiting at your back. I wont stab it just yet. I'll wait for you to turn around. Because I want to see your eyes when I destroy your world. GIVE.ME.A.REASON.

To being a sheep. To being proud of treating others as sheep. To living a pretentious life. To assuming you are untouchable. To throwing stones from the porch of your glass house. To the followers who are too chicken shit to take off the wool. To the fake who would rather dance amongst wolves then do what is right...FUCK.THAT.NOISE.

Let the truth begin.
