Your Christian sentimentalism is really tedious. The way little baby Jesus makes you all weepy. The saviour of the world and all that. Helping you dress up your misery as something else.
It gives me comfort in my misery.
You can say the Lord’s Prayer however many times you like. You can kiss your fucking cross. I understand – you need to cope. You need to cope with the daily horror. Whatever you need to get you through … But it’s still irritating.
Ooh, who’s afraid of the big bad atheist? So cutting-edge. So vanguard.
Gnosticism is so much cooler than Christianity. So much doomier.
I don’t see why that’s a recommendation.
I like religions when they have no content. When it’s just about the nothing of this world, or whatever. Just some empty transcendence. A gap where the light gets in, or whatever. Only it’s the darkness. Where the darkness opens. Where there might be some dark god or something – who knows?
