done safer with “checks and balances.” Fourth: Hermeneutics of suspicion, with which you have lost all faith and trust
in us. And finally: The distrust of science. Even though science tries to disprove the very to existence of us, we should
not completely give up saying that one day the scientists can't help but help us.
O you indigent that knows not the despair. Teardrops fall for you as we try not to care. Still we must push you aside
no matter the cost, for our fear is not only of earthly life but more so the grasps of hell. Yet even in your death, in a
punishment you did not merit, I pray for your peace and your soul, that God will show His mercy that overflows. Mercy
can be hoped for but without much hope, because it will only come when the pride from the ages once again bows.
Until then, for our heart’s own sake we will be misanthropes to all indigent so to keep us from being tainted and de
pressed by your foreseen fate.
Who “We” are
Before I tell you who “we” are, I must give warning to read with care as to not become those that I call “we.” A misun
derstanding of those that hate can in turn cause us to hate those that hate, and so I must plead with you to under
stand and be a good critic, yet not to be a critic so that you can fairly criticize yet not hate. For a misunderstanding of
haters is what makes a hater and an ignorant man. That ignorant man will in turn teach his ignorance to the next and
so on until we reach that which I dare not compare, for the fact that I myself am a “we."
in the satire “we” stands for all that’s bad in liberal American religion (I do not wish to give names other then to my
self), yet we are still so much more. We play arbiter elegantiarum, we are amalgamate sons, we are the giants, we are
racists, we are murderers, we are thefts, we are cannibals, we are heartless, we are illogical, we are gods, we are ac
cusers, we are misanthropes, and above all we are haters. “We” are that which needs to change, but “we” are the last
to change. If you so wish to know names of these people that I call “we”, the people that destroy the lives of, and
wreak havoc on the unforeseen, then I will not refrain. The names would include but not be limited to, you, him, her,
those, them, they, ail the way to mother Teresa and I. These are the people that need to change, yet these are those
that will not change, and these are the ones world might do better without.
