Burn the Echo

if our species does not destroy itself before it comes to the realization that it does not need a fantasy full of deities & afterlifes, ghosts, predestiny, miracles or saviors to get by, having finally once & for all, gotten rid of religion & all of its ridiculous & terrible side-effects forever & ever, then we should build the biggest fire imaginable & burn the echo--- we should not pretend like there is anything left in the murderous past that religion has dragged along all of its life buzzing round our heads like gnats & biting at our ankles like rats infested with the newest disease of the month--- no, we should come to the conclusion that we have had our fill & there is no merit in keeping the echo around to remember what it was like to oppress each other & kill each other, pretending there was some kind of solace in the universe for those that squinted their eyes together really hard & whispered to themselves while babbling the words produced from any number of the infamous poorly written books--- if we are lucky to make it that far we should be so happy to say good riddance to it all--- if only all those who suffered & continue to suffered, if only all those who died because of it, were able to live to see the day we burn burn burn the echo all away.
