An Ode to the ***** of Jesus Christ

I put little stock in counseling, simply because it doesn’t work for

me. That’s reasonable. right?

That’s why I’m not

going back.

Because contrary to the initial irrational paranoid belief held by

not me, I was not

***** by anyone this last July, I am not

an altered boy.

 

Repression? Obsessions? Depressions?

You’re right, in a sense. I was not

***** by one man this last July, I was

***** by the whole church for the past 18 years.

I learned, or perhaps deduced, from Sunday School

that all *** is sin

that inanimate objects had a goodness or badness about them

that Satan was in my head (by this I was terrified)

that all my friends were going to Hell (by this I rebuked them and was never forgiven)

that its true: my parents would have gotten me ****** to death in biblical times

because they love me

that I could choose who I was attracted to (apparently by watching straight ****

that God needs money

that the Internet is of the devil >mfw intellectual open market

that I could only achieve ****** once in a lifetime >mfw I came

that God’s love is conditional

that electronics are a sin if they make noise and are inside a specific building

that all Muslims are terrorists

that I’m worthless because I’m a sinner

that I’m inherently evil.

 

And I still miss it sometimes.

I miss the taste of Christ’s ****
