The Church is an Atheist Factory

The only church you need.   This may come in a few parts. If so, this is part one. I was thinking about visions I have had in the past while reading Isaiah today, and why they weren’t as impactful at the time as I had them and knowing that the answer is something that’s been pissing me off hard for about a year now. You can stop reading if you want to. You can turn away and think I’m a fool, but you may not want to. I want to point something out, and those who think this is lame already might like it.

Both of you are cool with me, and I’m not generally in the business of bagging on friends. You’re going to say you don’t care, and that it won’t, to which I’m going to say bullshit, it’ll be like someone ripping tape off of your nipples.
