God Is a Gateway Drug

“god” is a gateway drug “god” is a gateway drug stuffed into little babies when they are too innocent & unable to fight the parents injecting them with it, tapping the child’s neck like it was a healthy vein thriving from a brand new junkie, dousing the kid’s head in “holy water” & subsequently upping their dosage through the formative years, increasing the need for a fix & it’s up to the kid & the kid alone to get clean from this junk of all junk because it leads to other things so quickly, forcing one to tribalize & consider others who aren’t part of your group to be damned, to be lesser than you--- it leads to a self-righteous mentality, where the way dictated by a book written thousands of years ago by some man whose ***** was so small that he had to lie & lie & lie (biggest lies = best believed) in order to compensate for it, is what somehow satisfies every question that anyone has today, in this present moment--- usage of “god” leads onto other drugs like submission to the will of authority figures in your life, because they are “holy” in some fashion, where “god-fearing” is an attribute to trump all others & the belief that all things will be done for you, like the government that speaks through the media on your television (if you’re allowed one)--- beliefs, beliefs, beliefs, all sanctioned by that initial directive, all sanctioned by that initial terror, that there is something greater than you that you owe your life to, for being all part of the evolutionary crap shoot.
