We’re after theological perfection. And not you or anyone else that is uncertain of who God is or how God works or how it all started or how it all will end will ever be allowed to stand in our way. We will bully you in the name of “love”. We will scowl at you in the name of “righteousness.” We will demean and ignore and provoke and gossip and twist the very fabric of time into the reality of our liking. We will smugly wish them all to the very hell that they deserve.

We will fight back in the name of “tolerance.” We will spit at them and shout them down and scoff at their mystical ideas and regulations and prayers. We will hate them as much as they hate us, but we won’t call it “love.” We see ourselves for who we really are…not who someone else thinks that we should be. We live life. We do not chase life. We do not stalk and judge and demean and ignore – ignore – ignore. We will hate them and wish them to the very hell that they profess.

We will hide in the name of self-preservation. We will squat in our own filth and wait for the battle cries to cease. We will avoid and lurk and tip-toe and avoid detection as long as the others wage war. But secretly we will wonder why a god allows it to occur. We will ask ourselves questions that have only one unanswerable answer. We will smirk and roll our eyes and hate and apathetically buy our whole milk while they pit cartons against jugs. We’ll hear them. We’ll have opinions. We’ll hide those opinions in dark places. They are only looking for opponents. They are not looking for solutions. They are not hoping for reconciliation. We will hope that they experience the hell that they spew on us.

I will win!—I will win! I am right!—I am right! I know the truth!—I know the truth! I reject you!—I reject you!
I hope you get what you deserve! I hope you all get hell!
