Unshushed

when we who do not believe, use the name of this fictional character whom you base your own life on “in vain,” as you might tell us after the fact, we will not be shushed. no matter how politely or matter-of-factly you present your need to hear no dissenting opinion within a 20 mile radius of your little terrified town--- with no big bearded man in the sky, no strong spirit who parted the Yam Suph, no flaxen-haired, blue-eyed, Aryan savior who hung up on a cross for the “sins” of the world, there is simply no reason to avoid the use of any terms in one’s language which might expel stress, or which might convey a meaning that could be dealt with in a much more violent manner, if you took away said term & left said individual(s) with nothing but a gun & a dream. so just be happy, believers in the judeo-christian-fiction, that you are living in a time when there are still enough idiots around who will make you feel comfortable when you leave the work environment or when you leave the public sphere where everyone may not dwell in the fantasy that you still insist on perpetuating, for its days are numbered, this god****ingdamned beast that our species developed when we thought demons came out of our ****ing mouths when we sneezed & we were scared to go into the forest for fear that a dragon would come & eat us… jesus ****ing christ.
