Purpose-Filled Lies

'HEAVEN':

Because 'the Powers that Be' wanted

the lowly workers to be consumed

with reaching a beautiful paradise (only

once they dropped dead)--so they 

wouldn't be interested in seeking

justice in this life.

Pick and Choose

Whatever happened to the 'immorality'

of piousness...

and judgementalness...

and ego...

and hypocrisy?

I guess those admonitions got lost

somewhere in the umpteen translations.

Or, more likely...

the reality that religion is all just headgames

and make believe doesn't cover up the idea

of 'spiritual transformation' being malarkey...

and human beings would far rather create

misery for another

than give up their own vices.
