Homily to the Undead
"Why don't you kill yourself?", They asked.
I don't know whether to laugh or to cry. Laugh at the absurdity of the question, or weep at its stinging familiarity.
I see it clearly, the thing that really kills me, if I actually took my life…they would sit around and remember with pity, justifying my death for the very things I despised. "She died because she had no faith. She felt gravely alone, because she did not believe."
Holier-than-thou fucks! Is that the only remedy you know? …Is that only reason anyone would fall ? …because they didn't appreciate the divinity you speak of ? That's so pathetic, you've been narrow-minded by your religion. You cannot even see beyond its borders. If I was laying dead, you'd be walking dead, and that is the real grotesque.

i strongly disagree with you. i believe religion is a salvation and a way of life. it does not make you narrow minded unless you already are!
Hey Greenie :)
If you ask me how does a religion make a person narrow minded, I'd tell you that any religion has a set of boundaries and "rules", that you must a bid by, so when you do just that it's like your being restrained or limitied in your ability, that makes you closed minded simply because you've been made to not cross any "restriction lines" . This is a disputable issue, like everything else, but we already are experiencing this modern time and are held back by religion in so many different ways, so please forgive me disfavor of religion.
