hold up. I mean the love of God when i'm deeed. (dead)
You say that that's like the gift innit? Bein next to da daddy. So what, me afterlife is gonna be me sitting back and thinking - ooh i love being loved unconditionally!
Pretty fuckin needy aren't we? What a pathetic race. You should read some psychoanalytical stuff, and hear what Freud and Jung have to say about that.
I was in a catholic church one time, checkin it out. Saw all these people with their heads bowed, praying and crying towards the altar looking up at Christo. And I thought, children. They looked like children, these middle aged old folk. And then I got it. The whole damn thing. Cos when you’re born like, it’s your parental love, unconditional parental love that makes you want to live. It validates your existence – and if you don’t get it, you become a very unhinged individual. Being cuddled and loved, kiddies yearn for that affection. And then we lose it as our parents frustrate us and then we spend the rest of our lives looking for it, in our friends and our sexual liaisons. Makes us feel validated. And then these Christians took all those feelings and expressed it to the person of Christ, and be like “Christ cares!, he loves me no matter what!” God the father, the desire for paternalism our driving force that keeps us out of manic depression. It is so easy to play on that emotion. Especially as people get older, their parents and other loved ones start dying. That’s why they pray so much. Kinda momentary schizophrenia, as though someone is actually listening – and then there’s that image of sacrifice on the cross staring at you – the pure agony. It’s like “oh yes! You did that for me?? I’m not worthy of your love!”. A religion that totally plays on peoples emotions...
