Truth and the Devil

Not to disagree with Shinka, but dependence and faith can be very necessary. Perhaps in a perfect world where each person loves and understands one another, there could be complete and open trust. But we live in the real world, don’t we, a darker and more troubled place than Shinka would have you believe.

Dear reader, please, think for a moment. Think of Jim, your neighbor, who hits his kids and never returned your garden shears. Think of Alice, the receptionist at work who wears her thong up above her waistline. Think of everyone you meet every day! These are the assholes that cut you off in traffic! The moron who couldn’t double bag your groceries with a bright, neon reminder and a gun to his head. Think, very, very hard. Do you want these people voting? Do you want THEM to control your future!

Now, think of church. That sea of humanity, united in praise and love. No foul words, no harmful thoughts or selfish misdeeds. All washed away in the unity and strenght of your faith! It is that faith, blind and unselfish, that you find your greatest strength! Place that faith in another man, and he will be a better man! Place that faith in your leaders, and they will reward that same faith! With solemn countenance, eyes unclouded by the petty concerns that mire us mere citizenry, they will stride forth, the strength of our unity behind them, guiding thier steps as surely as they in turn will guide us, all of us, to a better land.

Shinka can keep his dusty logic, his cold and impersonal science. You, gentle reader, know the true path. You know that the future can only be won with a strong and united faith. You know that only a single man, bolstered by that faith and raised on high could ever have the vision to lead. You know that the terror and confusion, the chaos that surrounds us will only ever be stilled when all unite with a single, righteous voice, placing their faith in that highest power, that clearest mind, that heart that beats as one for each and every one of you!

Me.
