In the
biblical days it must have been simpler.
God fought
Lucifer and they vied in a struggle for
power which gave way to a sort of
game. Let's see who can get the most souls!
Souls went one way or the other.
Heaven or
Hell.
Up or
Down.
Good or
Bad. Easy, right?
Lately it seems ol'
Satan has a lot of competition in his bid for souls. There are a whole slew of new
secular competitors in the
divine Othello match.
Corporations,
special interest groups,
corrupt governments, and
individuals collide in an
insane left and
right-wing,
nazi,
insecurity-driven,
fascist,
capitalist,
communist,
vegetarian,
Christian,
Scientologist,
Promise Keeper,
television,
cheerleader,
monkey,
goat, bloated,
pig,
Catholic,
Islamic,
drug-crazy,
pharmaceutical,
media revisionist,
censorship,
soccer mom,
numbnut,
prosetylizing mess, factions all crying out for your
blood,
sweat, and
tears. Whether they want to make you into the perfect
consumer,
votary,
soldier, or
breeder, they make no secret that they're out for the
homogenization of
humanity, which leaves your
individuality,
that which makes you, you, baking in the
sun on the road of their "progress" like steaming
roadkill.
You rule yourself. What do
you want out of your life?
