Cannot wait for Lila.
And then Jesus came upon his disciples and said, “Brethren, I’ve heard it said that I am to be a human sacrifice for your sins. May I asketh, who in the goddamn hell came up with that Neanderthal bullshit!!!???
Blood sacrifice!!!???? Are you all fucking insane!!!!????
Brethren, listen carefully as I tell you something of great importance.
The idea that the blood of a savage human sacrifice will drift up to the heavens and unleash magical powers of atonement from the invisible deity living there is, without a doubt, the most absurd, preposterous, revolting, sickening, evil and idiotic pile of Cro-Magnon donkey shit that the human mind has ever concocted in our entire history on planet Earth!!
Blood sacrifice!!!!! Do you hear what you’re fucking saying!!!????
Brethren, thou can all take your dying for sins lunacy and shove it straight up thy fucking asses!!!!!”
And Jesus’ disciples said, “Well shit, man!! What the fuck kind of Savior are you!!????
Why don’t you just go fuck Mary Magdalene up the ass.!!
Again!!!!
