Cult Fiction

 


Pew, pew, pew...

We gather together on this Sunday to choose sides.

The Pope, or,

The dope.

Sean Hannity is renouncing his religion in support of the orange man who wouldn't know a psalm, a proverb or a line from Dr. Seuss.

Neither does Hegseth who quotes from Quentin Tarantino movies.

Or, Vance, who thinks the Pope should stay out of the theology biz.

People are taking sides which amuses me and also makes me so very disappointed. I have no doubt the Pope is a good man who happens to have great faith in his God. He's the cool Pope who doesn't exclude certain groups the Catholic community would like to expunge. Y'all know who I'm talking about. Yeah, he's okay. Except for the fact he's running one big massive cult. He's the leader of the band. I'm sort of rooting for its continued existence if the people who are in it continue to believe they better behave or they will suffer the consequences. That's fine by me.

I so wish I could remember the movie (Mission Impossible?) where a group of people enter a convent to receive help for a downed comrade. The main character starts discussing theology and how one can believe in such nonsense. The mother superior looks at him and confesses to him they don't believe in a god, but they want you to believe in a god. The world would be complete anarchy without one.

It blew my mind, honestly. The Catholic church has been a sanctuary for pedophiles and psychopaths for centuries. The new Pope is light amongst the dark, so if you find solace within this organization, okay fine, even if it's all a good prank on you.

As for the other cult, the truly dark side, run by a real life Randall Flagg, there must be a reason people choose this man to one who prefers we not kill each other. Hannity has chosen the orange man. Vance is arguing theology with a man who studied and lives every day spreading its meaning. Hegseth uses movie quotes to defend the murder of innocents. 

I lost my religion when I was twelve. I'm losing faith in humanity as well. I hope people like Hannity, Vance and Hegseth are the exception and not the rule. I'm hoping people still want to be good and kind towards their fellow travelers because it's the right thing to do and frankly, it feels better when we are not consumed with hate.

So, if you still believe in prayer, go sit in a church and ask for better days.

If you still believe in the future for mankind, go to a voting booth and ask for better humans.

She's Still Dead

   Ashli Babbitt was a traitor to this country. They can have all the ceremonial shenanigans the military likes to present as the deceased has been offered full military honors (We all know who requested that) it still won't negate the fact that she and thugs like her stormed a government building to do harm to others. They shit in the hallways. They carried confederate flags. They brought zip ties, bats and rage. The current regime can sugar coat it all they want but one day the orange man will be manure for his golf course grass and we can go back to truth being important. She deserved to be shot. More of them should have been shot that day. Every police officer should have followed the example of the police officer who did his job that day. These deplorables remind me of the fictional character, Ignatius J. Reilly, a lazy, selfish narcissist who decided to gather the factory employees in protest of some useless, archaic self indulgent mischief. He brought from home his soil...

Benny, Benny And No Regrets

  It's just so hard to keep up with maga creeps. Here's Benny  Johnson, the guy who started the rumor that DC was a cesspool. He also claimed his house burned down while his family was in it. He's a liar. His house never burned down. You really can't believe much of what this asshat says because he has a habit of playing with facts. He also likes to steal other people's words. He has been fired and suspended numerous times for plagiarism, at least 41 times. It just boggles my mind when these people blatantly lie, then are outraged when called out. People like Johnson, Trump and Leavitt have probably lived their whole lives creating a make believe existence where lying is the norm. At some point it just becomes routine where they find lying acceptable and necessary. To me they are empty shells of mindless walking automatons. They live in a bubble of falsehoods. These are the people in charge of our country.  The NYTimes has done a story about Pinocchio Johnson. I dec...

An Empty Vessel

Image
He fills his head with Bible quotes  to silence the storm inside  An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise  You were not wanted You were unplanned  You are a nothing You have no stand  He bows his head and speaks in tongues  to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud  hiding in plain sight You were a mistake  A thirty minute accident  a constant regretful memory  who seeks reason to breathe  from holy ghosts  and devils in red ties  the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen  You are a mistake  You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.
