Friends, romans, countrymen, Lent me your ear.

As a heathen (their description, not mine) I don't think I'll ever understand many of these silly little rituals that religious people engage in. I cite as an example this thing called Lent. I don't like it, no one is giving me anything. They do this thing called "fasting" which I think is a total misnomer. I like to call things what they really are. It's fucking starvation people, after not eating for any length of time I am anything but fast, mentally or physically. They really need to change the names of these things to more accurately describe the folly that they engage in, if only so us heathens can attempt to understand what the hell they are doing.

I've come to the conclusion that christianity is made up of sadists comprised of a following of masochists. How the fuck else can you describe the antics of these fools to someone that isn't indoctrinated in their shenanigans.


In the spirit of understanding, I've decided to give up trying to understand what the fuck is going through the minds of these sheep that need some cross-dressing nitwit to tell them how to live their life as a good person.

Amusingly, this is some anniversary or other of the pope getting shot and the media are reviewing the data trying to unearth some grand conspiracy. Here's my take on it: The guy had a real problem with a man wearing a dress commanding so much power over people and really couldn't deal with the fact that anyone could honestly be seen in public wearing such a collosally stupid hat. I know that would likely be enough to make me snap if I thought about it for any length of time.

In conclusion, any of you that want to give up anything for "Lent", consider giving me something instead. We'll all be happier for it.
