a few days ago, i was talking to a metalhead friend who claims he doesnt believe in a god or a supreme being or whatever you call it. i was intrigued by this and asked him if theres a story behind it. he said he lost faith in god because as he got older he realized religious people are all hypocrites. like how catholics go to sunday mass then beat their kids up when they get home or how muslim extremists blow themselves up in the name of allah. he said how can you have faith in a god and its religion when your pope is molesting kids and is getting away with it. hmmm

well, i gotta agree. religion has been and will always be the root of all evil in this world (yes, its not them benjamins). we did hang the heliocentrics only to realize later they were right after all. accused the hesitant heads as witches and burned them alive on the stakes. invaded foreign lands in his [various] names and converted them locals to whatever belief we were bringing in. used napalm on others as we stamp our papers that we trust only in god. we blew up public buses and coffee shops with the thought that we’re doing god’s words. we got stuff like theocracy, racism, homophobhia and so on and so on and soooo on.

but you see, even with all of these atrocities in our ancient and modern history, it doesnt say one bit if there really is or if there really aint a god. and in my opinion, its because believing in a god is something really really personal. the institutions that represents or offers god may not be 100% believable, hell most of what we have are just absurd, but come to think of it, do we really need them as basis for a supreme being? if we look into what us mere humans have done to each other in his name, we will only find ourselves laughing our arses off with the idea of a, and again, a god.

if we wanna know if he exist, i dont think the histories of the world can do much help. we gotta read our own history inside our own inner planet. ive read mine, and i think its rick james thats up there. now aint that a bitch?!
