Blame it on my Blasphemy

Why is defiling a church so much fun? What is it about the pious that makes them so entertaining to screw with?

I count successes by the amount of times I hear, "Oh, that's terrible" from a random person I don't know. I used to and still have a natural feeling of not wanting to look stupid, but I learned a long time ago that me looking stupid means other people get to laugh.

It's terrible how much fun piety prevents people from having. You should never have anything in your life that can't be joked about. If I had a mantra, that would be it. I'm not saying it is easy, there are things that human beings are embarrassed about. There are things humans are afraid of. There are things human beings are ashamed of.

Here's a secret if you didn't already know it: laughter takes the power out of serious. When you can laugh about something, it just doesn't seem so crucial anymore. Laughter is the mixture of light and dark; the only place where good and bad mix. If there is something that deserves to be called god, it would be seen through laughter.

So when I see a church, with a bunch of people who think it is critical to life to take your hat off inside, (or some other illogical sign of respect that has nothing to do with respect) I choose to have fun and go buy a sombrero. Or jump in the pulpit. Or feel up a statue.

Don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out of it alive.
