I told my wife maybe we should start going to church on sunday.
You're right, my dad the theologian always said that the only hell in the bible was a stinky pit of sulphur jesus knew about and used in an analogy, called "ge-henna", no idea on the spelling.
I have something positive to say about fake bibles though, since I'm up for reading from it on sundays.
Pragmatism dude. I'm not going for the philosophical leadership, I like red magic taoist buddhists, myself, for that. But I'm going to church because it's what the local people are in to, and it's the people themselves, their minds and souls, that are of use to help us.
An honorary member of the demon world for my first 45 years, I was into it, motivated by being different. But I found the demon world. They aren't aliens with philosophical wisdom. They aren't a wiser collective unconscious. It is the world of bugs, mites, parasites. They do hate us, we are their prey, they battle us for their own survival and plan our demise in their suprisingly complex and sentient group mind. They offered me honorary membership and I accepted, but I am now severing ties, my "father" in the demon world really WAS trying to kill me, and the "difference" they offer me is not getting me anywhere in the human world (other than your generous nomination for brilliance in insanity).
So I, unlike a religious friend of mine who insists on making saturday, not sunday, the holy day of his brand of christianity, am looking for fellowship, looking to join the human world as I give up my demon world, and if the humans are reading fake bibles on sundays instead of saturdays, it's all good with me, as long as they are using these odd psychoses to raise themselves up, make themselves more perfect, and join in fellowship and spirituality with their neighbors.
Good post though, love the red magic shine in the middle, where good and evil are perfection. Right on.
