Gregarious Garments

uniting farcical flocks all over the world, gregarious garments, talismans & little good luck charms required by religions to ward off “evil spirits,” to separate man from “god,” or to just protect the fuzzy sheep from the rest of us heathens, are donned by believers everywhere (but kept oh so secret). the infamous magical mormon underwear whose mere mention offends the mormons strike the nonbeliever as an extra special case as one may envision horny hocus-pocus surrounding the ceremonies held within the guise of a uniquely ludicrous worship of fiction--- the lds correct one quickly, saying that these “temple garments” are sacred & that is why they are secret, once bearing stitched “L’s & V’s,” thought at best to be squares & compasses, evidence of founder joseph smith’s own signing up with the big boys, the freemasons, whilst trying to get some buddies who had power. while christians, buddhists, sikhs, muslims, jews, jains, taoists, zoroastrians & for that matter, numerous other local & tribal religions, all seem to put some stock in “peace malas” ---little 16 beaded bracelets representing a rainbow to take on our “spiritual paths,” jews specifically have worn the “roite bindele”---a red wool string that is worn around the wrist of the left hand, thought by kabbalahbabblers to ward off evil, especially that ever so evil “evil eye,” that so many in the 21st century are still afraid of. scientologists, always out to out-ridiculous the competition, whose elite army known as the “sea organization,” marches round Gold Base in cali, parading now on land in the poor rip-off attire based on US navy uniforms, as they did when they were peddling their own brand of bosh mumbo jumbo in La Boheme, prior to its shut down in 2008 for asbestos (awe boo hoo, guess we’ll have to nurture our “thetans” & try to get in better touch with the “supreme being” elsewhere). what asinine apparel exemplifies in the superstitious is not only the need to escape the tribulations of everyday life which weighs upon us all, but more so, to advertise a chosen dogmatic & downright daffy way to live, which strengthens those within the flock, but which is meant to reel new fish in, so as to perpetuate this idiocy in an age when the species needs LESS, not more of it.
