Christian Drama Week

forget the fact that the “prophecies” written in the “old testament” just happen to be “fulfilled” in the “new testament,” because the writers of the “second book” read the first one & just created a character that would follow suit, like a badly written sequel to a b-movie. but for those who believe that the fiction is true, this week brings the “betrayal!” this week brings the “blood!” this week brings the “sacrifice!” and the DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA that believers need in order to cover up the fact that they have no special meaning at all, just like the rest of us, it comes in with the little plants in their hands on “palm sunday” & it leaves with the boiled colored eggs on “easter.” what would these desperate individuals be without their drama? what would they fill their mundane lives with if they had no stories to believe? what would they do if they had no second act to run to? what would they do if they had to dwell in the nothingness with the rest of us? maybe, just maybe, they’d stop trying to convert & make people believe their story--- maybe, just maybe, they’d stop trying to silence or kill those who don’t believe their story, maybe, just maybe, they’d live for today & take responsibility for their own lives.
