if god is a benevolent force, then all of his kindness has vanished.
equality is a promise that has not been fully delivered and prejudice is a demon that the priests refuse to exorcise.
the holy book is still cited, but not in the way it used to be.
the oppressed begin to use it against the oppressor.
they preach the real words of god: love, peace, and acceptance.
there are none of these, and they struggle to continue living in a world that tells them that they cannot be loved, that there will never be peace, and that they'll never be accepted.
the king of hell sits on his throne.
those who believed themselves to be sacred scream when they see not the clouds of heaven, but the flames of hades.
the devil scowls,
and growls,
and sighs.
he wanted humanity to suffer, right?
mark 12:31.
