I really don't like organized religion. It is not a particularly GOOD Friday, in my humble estimation. I feel that, more than almost any other single factor, Big Time Religion's been the ruin of our SECULAR nation. Yeah, right: The Whale swallowed Jonah; the Sun and everything else revolves around the Earth; God created our World in like, 4000 BC or so; and Eve was born of Adam's Rib!?! Demented but well-meaning people may believe these things, but humanity didn't travel to the Moon depending for their lives on that sort of "science." Still, "Christians" are more than welcome to worship that nice Jewish Boy, and I love this album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF2lwwxoQNU
I was so privileged to grow up agnostic, and not have all that rancid nonsense shoved down my throat. Bad enough, all the political dogma, the intolerant ideologies, the intellectual orthodoxies. But at least I didn't have anyone rapping my... knuckles and making me kneel down and say a bunch of Hail Marys, Mea Culpas, or whatnot. All so I could go right out, after confessing multiple Sins to my Dear "Father," and steal another twelve-pack! And yes, that's another thing - it's just so damn Morbid! So Jesus got nailed, OK OK already!
