Holy SHIT!!!

I was talking to a friend of mine and it just dawned on me, like a light bulb in my cerebellum, about a possible explanation for the popular verse about man’s righteousness being like filthy rags…

The answer is in shit…

Now, not as a swear word…but shit, fecal matter….

Maybe even from a running stomach that has just had lots of churned vegetables… and hence has strange colors from the parts the body did not break down completely

Hold on a sec….stay with me…

Stay with me…

Good boy….good girl….good…good

Moving on…

Now get that ‘piece of shit’ and put it on china…or your best silver ware…
And then, as morbid as it sounds, add decorations to that piece of poo.

Maybe a good portion of well-browned sausages… now, some ketchup, even some fries….
Perhaps little bits of peas would add up just fine…

What is worse than raw filth? The answer is simple

Garnished filth

The mental process that creates it and the end result are disgustingly morbid, disturbingly creepy…and revoltingly dark

Hence…

It is the reason why many people will never be able to stand “Christians” or the average ‘do-gooder’ who wants to try and “help” people with his convictions of what ‘God is really like’ or ‘the best approach’ to living life and all other such ‘righteous’ humbug.

It is the reason why scriptural verses, thrown around like confetti of beans, are met with disgust and leave a deep-seated feeling of distaste in the mouth because though we may not be deeply ‘spiritual’, each man, made in the image of his maker can sense, in some deep primal way, the difference between false and true and can sniff the putrid stench of slime underneath the smoke screen of high-sounding “godly” rhetoric…

Tony Campolo said “Jesus is about unconditional love and being willing to sacrifice…and if you don’t like the game, then join another religion”

Simple

So before I start sounding like some crazed prophet about to flog people with my theological whip, my simple question is, why do people find it so hard to just live their lives based on their convictions without trying to forcefully (or “manipulating-ly” (“grammatics” mine!)) choke it down the rather tender throat of others…and always in the name of “good intention” or “God”?


Talk about “holy shit!”
