I wanna kill Jesus.
You know, I’d love to be a nicer person to all the good people of the world who happen to also be christian, but it’s mighty hard. Mighty hard. Shitbird preachers like to unfairly characterize atheists as all hating god &/or jesus, but I’m sure it isn’t true for most of you. It is true of me. Very true.
There is, on balance, more justification in the words of jesus for progressive ideas than for conservative ones. Twisting that shit into prosperity gospel and gaybashing is twisting. But I don’t care about the feelings of some ancient dead guy. I care about the monster he created, and if I am to take his continued supernatural existence as true – as christians want me to do – then if I were to meet this superghost?
Fuck that motherfucker. It’s on.
I’m that Dexter-flavored hypocrite who wants to kill the killers. Atrocities make me mad, make me feel like doing something atrocious, and there are now millennia of horrors that happened on resurrected jeezy’s watch. Culturally christian people who wanted to believe they could point to something older and better within their ancestors invented wicca, which – in culturally christian fashion – positions one’s people as the real victims in all of this.
Well, your people are the real victims in all of this, wiccans, but witches aren’t your people any more than they are mine. Your people have been christian for a very long time, like their oppressors. Christians oppress christians more than the Romans ever had a chance to. These are the atrocities of which I spoke. Of those that were tortured and killed for witchcraft, how many had any cultural context for being anything other than christian (or atheist, which can come into existence without being taught)? Europe was utterly dominated by christianity during all of the witch hunting times. Their victims were christian. (oh yeah just remembered the muslims and jewish people, lol. anyway…)
That’s not mentioning the much more frequent form of historical oppression they engaged in – sectarian warfare. Genocidal violence, mass slaughter, women and children hung from the walls, cities burned – all for believing in jesus wrong. I look at that shit and cannot feel schadenfreude about jerks I disagree with killing each other. I see the torture and murder, and it infuriates me.
Somebody’s gotta pay, and if I try to pin down which sect shot first, that’s playing their game. No. I can do them one better. These sects wouldn’t exist if jesus wasn’t a real supernatural guy that rose on the third day yadda yadda, right, Kenneth? Only the magic version of jesus could have inspired these millennia of obscene cruelty. And therefore, magic jesus must die by my hands.
Gimme the spear, centurion. It’s time to stick this pig again. For old time’s sake. Just a jesus murdering party, me and my besties. Who’s in?
Guys? C’mon, it’ll be fun. Guys?
