Is that what God does?
He helps?
Tell me,
why didn't God help
my innocent friend
who died for no reason
while the guilty roam free?
Okay, fine.
Forget the one-offs.
How about the countless wars
declared in his name?
Okay, fine.
Let's skip the random,
meaningless murder for a second,
shall we?

How about the racist,
sexist, phobia soup
we've all been drowning in
because of him?
And I'm not just
talking about Jesus.
I'm talking about all
organized religion...
Exclusive groups
created to manage control,
a dealer getting people hooked
on the drug of hope,
his followers
nothing but addicts
who want their hit of bullshit
to keep their...

Their dopamine of ignorance,
addicts afraid
to believe the truth...
That there is no order,
there's no power,
that all religions are just
metastasizing mind worms
meant to divide us
so it's easier to rule us
by the charlatans
that want to run us.

All we are to them
are paying fanboys
of their poorly written
sci-fi franchise.

If I don't listen
to my imaginary friend,
why the fuck should
I listen to yours?

People think their worship's
some key to happiness.
That's just how he owns you.

Even I'm not crazy enough
to believe that
distortion of reality.

So fuck God.

He's not a good enough
scapegoat for me.
