"The Marquis"
I am an enemy of normal
Twisted but cordial
This whole ordeal of
murder
jail
prison
And the satanic religion
Is just one piece of the picture
Let me be your god
I am the reincarnation
of the Marquis de Sade
Let us fuck
Make magic
And dine on the hearts of the lesser
There are five major reasons the far Right and christian conservatives are wrong when it comes to religion. This can be demonstrated not just from a scientific viewpoint but according to their own Bible. The following beliefs are prevalent in most christian circles despite being scriptually unsound.
1. THE EARTH IS ONLY A FEW THOUSAND YEARS OLD
When I first heard this I assumed it was a "straw man" argument. During the small time frame where I gave the Bible a try, I was never taught this insane belief. That's because it is not actually in the Bible. Although Genesis does claim the earth was created in merely six days, scripture later explains that God's concept of time is radically different from man's. (A day to the Lord is like a thousand years...)
2. JESUS WILL RETURN WITHIN OUR LIFETIME
Once again, I will not use science to refute this absurd notion. Anyone with even a sixth grade knowledge of biology and physics would know this is impossible. I will use their own text to explain why mantras such as, "The rapture is coming soon!" and, "We're living in the last days" are simply wrong. Jesus himself was asked when he would return (as if he were an astronaut) and he simply replied that he didn't know, only God did. If the gospel authors recorded it correctly, Jesus actually said, "No one knows the day or the hour..." Despite this black and white answer, millions of Americans believe he will return by 2050.
3. THE UNITED STATES IS A CHRISTIAN NATION.
Between the "one nation under God" reference and the national motto of, "In God we trust", it is easy to understand why anyone would buy this myth. Ironically, many Bible scholars and teachers are convinced that America is the beast. Believers love referencing our nations so-called religious heritage as if that somehow validates their judgmental and outdated beliefs. They are also quick to paint America as "The beast from the revelation" and "The great Satan"
4. GOD FORGIVES ALL
This is perhaps the most laughable on the list, the New Testament clearly states there is a sin which unforgivable. That would be "blasphemy against the holy spirit."Perhaps they should invent an app that will alert you if you've insulted this invisible ghost.
5. JESUS REPRESENTS PEACE AND KINDNESS.
Once again, if believers would actually read their Bibles they would see where he supposedly said, :I come not to bring peace but a sword." The revolutionary Jewish figure obviously knew his challenging of the established order would cause trouble. He did talk of turning the other cheek and loving your neighbor as you love yourself. He also picked arguments with his elders, disrespected money changers, and accused other Jews of being Satan's children.

I'm coming raw and uncut
It was all from the gut
In my neighborhood
We went to the mall with our guns
Ruthless and tough I think not
Just scared we would get shot
By a kid from a different block
Or stopped by the cops
For the glocks that we packed
Believe it, it's fact
Because we never had dads
And we never knew fathers
Most grew to be monsters
unconscious of the terror
we perpetrated as convicts.

What I need is a kindred heartbeat
To console me in my fear
That because I'm in a tomb I'm dead
Contained within gothic architecture
I yearn for a letter
A visit or presence
Inside I'm feeling like Hannibal
A psychological cannibal
Can you fathom
The radical anatomy of this animal
Sure I smile but that's
Because my pain would upset you
I'm sure you smile
Because it would depress you
If I did not care, reflect or respond
Could you sacrifice your heart
Like an inanimate pawn
And how could you hear it beat at all
From the outside looking in
To console me in my fear
That because I'm in a tomb I'm dead
Contained within gothic architecture
I yearn for a letter
A visit or presence
Inside I'm feeling like Hannibal
A psychological cannibal
Can you fathom
The radical anatomy of this animal

I'm sure you smile
Because it would depress you
