Happy Easter: April 2010 Archives

Chocolate Jesus

This might be my new theme song. Tom Waits has this song called Chocolate Jesus, the first line of the song fits me just fine.

Those of you who know me know that I am no fan of religion, I think its a nice story but from Christianity down to the Cult of Mormonism, religion is basically full of crap.

My religion on Sundays is the back of my eye lids. This weekend is one of my two days a year where I have to stomach an hour at church if for anything else to make my wife happy, The rest of the year, I stay away, it has nothing to do with anything other than the fact that I just don't believe in organized religion.

How can you when you have the Pope and the Catholic church protecting child molesters and the Pope going to Africa, a continent in the midst of an AIDS epidemic telling them not to use contraceptives.

Religion does more harm than good and while there are those that are in it for the good, I simply turn you to a few local churches, like that huge ass office like structure off the 990, tell me that church is in it for anything other than scamming its patrons out of money.

The religious right in this country while again having its good people amongst them is largely racist and violent making them no better than Islamic extremists.

You also have politicians and militias hiding behind their religion instead of admitting that it was all their doing by their own freewill. Religion will be our downfall, its a recipe for predjudice's and hate.

So this Easter I am going to church, and yes my wife's church is among the good ones, it still will not find me there more than twice a year....Easter and Christmas, let this be the new theme song of BBM. Tom Waits, Chocolate Jesus.....(Humble and Fred if I remember correctly used to give out Chocolate Jesus's....I remember Freddie once called them....Chocolate Lords.)
