The Golden Rule
Do unto others!
Ketchup is really tasty on French fries - Right?
Well - I dare you to try and put any on my fries - you'll end up with my
fork stuck in your hand faster than you can say:
"But I was only trying to help!"
When I was a kid, I wanted to have an earring, like a pirate, but those days
are gone - not interested!
But, look around: can't say that the fashion didn't catch on - good for
them! - Not for me!
Or, a tattoo - same thing applies.
I know a few people who love to tie other people up
and do strange things to their genitals.
I also know a few people who like that done to them. It's fine by me - I
have to admit that it was fascinating to watch
(some of them like that) - But, not for me! I seem to be able to achieve the
same results without making such a big production
out of it. I also prefer privacy.
I even know people that get a sexual kick out of laying their cigarette in
an ashtray in such a way that it touches
the tip of a stranger's cigarette laying in the same ashtray (arrrrrrrrrrrgh.)
That's O.K.
I like a little blow job now and then - do unto others? - it'll probably
take some major torture to get me to do it - maybe not even then.
You're probably thinking: What a nut!
Well maybe - but, I'm fine with it - I'm not hurting anyone - I do not need
to convert anyone - I do not think my way is the best - I do not think my
way is the only way - I was not put on this Earth to make anyone think like
me, talk like me or joke like me - I do not think you will go to Hell if you
do not listen to me - I do not think there is a Hell - if there is a Hell
and you would like to go there, be my guest. I think I made this point.
So I do NOT need someone to shave me! If I need shaving - I will shave
myself! It's the same with saving
Jesus died for somebody else's sins not mine!
I resent the fact that anyone considers me a child, an
incompetent, a being incapable of achieving a higher
spiritual level, incapable of being taught - so let him do unto others -
OTHER THAN ME!
Every time the Evangelists - I mean the ones preaching the bible - get on
the subway, I get the shakes. These are the descendents of Torquemada - they
are the ones who want to do UNTO ME - unspeakable acts of FAITH to save my
soul! They are the descendents of the inquisitors who tortured, mutilated
and burned at the stake uncounted multitudes of my spiritual and physical
ancestors.
Sometimes, I do feel that I want to do to them what they are doing to me. I
want to show them all the atrocities that this GOD of theirs has rained on
everyone he didn't like. I want to show them how he made sport of his most
devout followers just to prove a stupid point. I want to show them how he
rewarded the cruel and the unjust and how he dealt with the just and the
faithful. I want to show the part where he has cast down his opponents and I
want to
make them think about war. In HEAVEN as it is on EARTH the victor writes
history. You want a good example: show me one WWII ally that got accused of
war crimes - you can't huh? I want to open their abominable book and show
them where their GOD said that I am just like him in every respect except
one: immortality.
Hey - guess who's judging whom when I get there! Lucky YOU - I am not like
YOU - I have compassion - I am a HUMAN!
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you? In it's many variations
has been an accepted Christian axiom and it enabled some Christians to
rationalize their stupidity and twisted souls into torturing and murdering other human beings. Is has
also to my deep regret been the accepted principle of many religions and
philosophies.
Please, DO NOT DO UNTO OTHERS! - unless they indicate that they want you to
- it might be better to do nothing!
Do unto others - my ass.
