The people
who have done
the most hurt
to this world
knew they were right
in doing what they did.
The Ku Klux Klan
knew they were doing the right thing
by killing off a dirty n*^%!*
who looked at a white lady
and lorded over the south
frozen in their beliefs.
Hitler knew the Jews were scum.
So, of course he trashed them,
gassed them, laughed at them
even as smoke spiraling up into the sky
souls falling straight to Hell.
The Inquisition knew
those witches murdered and cursed
and that they should do everything
possible
to root out that scum,
killing on suspicion - since a dead innocent woman
need fear not the Lord thy God.
Some Communists knew
they did the right thing
in destroying capitalism
blacklisting, imprisoning
making sure their government lived
for it was the best of all, you see.
And we all know
(I believe...)
of Al-Qaeda
and of 9/11.
So....
Yet, does this mean that we cannot believe we are right?
Because...what does that make me?
Or anyone?
Hm.
...
Maybe it's not being Right.
Maybe it's being Righteous.
Hmm...
Because, for all people say,
righteousness isn't that good a thing.
Because it leads too quickly to intolerance.
People are righteous about gays
like they used to be righteous about pogroms.
And that scares me.
And righteousness leads to righteous anger.
And anger is forbidden by the Bible,
at least (I don't know many other Holy Books yet.)
And yet...
FOR JESUS'S SAKE, WHY CAN'T YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER?!?!
Do you know what I see on the Internet?!
I see Christian people HATING.
I see Muslim people HATING.
I see Jewish people HATING.
I see Athieist people HATING.
I SEE ALL THESE PEOPLE HATING EACH OTHER AND HURTING EACH OTHER AND I WANT TO DIE.
Why can't we see what this is doing to us?
"Fear leads to anger...anger leads to hate...hate leads to suffering."
How hard, how frickin' hard is it to understand this?
We're killing each other!
And all the Western Religions say is
"You're going to be DAMNED TO HELL, YOU PIECES OF FILTH!"
Why can't we love?
Why can't we accept each other?
Why can't we forget our differences?
forget race
forget religion
forget gender
forget sexuality
forget age
forget handicap
forget hate
I don't wanna burn in hell...
I don't want my friends to burn in hell...
But that's what's gonna happen if they're right, isn't it?
And I can' t believe in God
and God can't let that happen.
God WOULDN'T let that happen.
Or God is a complete bastard.
And you can quote me on that.
I want to see you, God.
I want you to tell me it'll be all right.
I want a hug.
I want someone to stop this.
I want to know you love me,
that you're my Abba Daddy...
But you're not there...
Why isn't Jesus back here?!
Bring him back!
Tell people to love each other!
Tell people to treat everyone as they would want to be treated.
How hard is it, God?
Give us the chance for happiness, damn you!
"Your name is in a lot of quotes in this book.
Those crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look...
And all the people that you made in your image
Still believing that junk is true...
Well, I know it ain't, so do you..."
Why?
why?
