I take it upon myself bi-annually to engage in what my faith dictates I should do at every weeks beginning. For my father I show up at church and pretend to be relgious. I was the only one in my family to go this year. So I ask myself, why? I look around the congression, none of the adults smile, they just repeat the magic words as if they procure your soul. Well, if that IS what they do then why are the words said in such a way to indicate submit. Even in my own voice I could hear the force behind the words. Religious heads speak of the drolling of satanic cults and how the sounds is that of the dead. Listening in on our Act of Contrition... the faithful are just as dead sounding, if not more so. If you want life in religion, then go to an african american's church. White people have no soul when it comes to their religion. In catholic church, Bow your head, kneel, and stand are the only moving you will see outside of the bread line and the exits. as every year passes I am reminded why I stop going. When you are asked to offer peace to the people around you, there should be a break where you can cover your entire congression, but we only go as far as arms reach, and sometimes not even everyone we could. That is a dead on example of loving thy neighbor. Then the Blood of christ. No one drinks it. Why?... because they see wine with the backwash of 57 people and not the blood of christ. I am guilty of it, that and I hate the taste of it. Why couldn't jesus's blood taste of kool-aid fruit punch? Any ways, I just thought you'd enjoy my take on getting my catholic on. From the inside the beast of religion, this is Mike Lindenmuth signing out.
