We do not go like lambs to the slaughter. We are not innocents.
Nor are we being led there by any shepherd. We choose to go there.
I used to think we chose to go there because we finally
woke to who we are and what we do; our conscience wouldn’t let us live with
that knowledge, so we chose to die. But
that’s not true.
I used to think we chose to die because we believe the
wages of sin is death, and we can no longer make ourselves believe in a god who
can forgive us when we can’t forgive ourselves.
But that’s not true. We can make ourselves
believe anything we choose.
We tell ourselves we no longer choose to believe in a god. We now choose to know the truth. But that’s not true.
It’s true our dream has ended, but we haven’t awakened to
reality. We go to the slaughter because we’re sleepwalking,
searching for another dream so we can stay asleep.
