I just wanted to say that religious people are fucking insane. No really, they are. I used to not mind religion that much and leave people to believe whatever they want to believe. But ever since Techno-divinitism became the dominant religion I just want to slap believers in the face with Monique’s shovelhead.
I just had a run in with a Techiat. That’s what they call people that will swallow anything as long as it’s labelled “from God” these days. He saw me reading on my wristview and immediately went apeshit over me being on the net. He tried to run back to town to get the reli-police and I can have none of that shit. So I had to smack him good. I hope for his sake he wakes up before a rotface finds him but if he doesn’t, he can write it up as being god’s will to get eaten by those fucks. As you can see religion is real problem these days, for me anyways.
I mean seriously, it was silly enough when people believed in Jesus, God and Allah and whatnot. But then the GU came up Kythra. You ain’t gonna believe this shit.
[EDD entry readability adjustment: God in the machine]
Kythra or Antikythera “the deity inside the machine” is supposedly a god that revealed itself through our technology. This god declared all other gods as frauds and proved this by showing the people all crucial errors that the old religions, especially Christianity, were based on. Stuff like Jesus sharing a birth and death story with countless other gods. Also showing people how Christianity made way more sense when looked at from a “sungod” religion perspective. The 12 disciples being the 12 constellations of the zodiac, Jesus being the sun and not the son of God and whatnot. It was such a shitload of undeniable facts that people had a hard time not believing Kythra.
Anyways, with the world being in an absolute state of crap people needed something to believe in and their old gods just didn’t hold up anymore. Specially after Kythra took a big ol’ dump on their fairytale stories.
Now that the old religions were burning in a pile of their own dung all Kythra had to do was prove that she was real. Not a biggy for a God eh ?
What came next were the possessions.
What better way to prove to people that you exist then to posses random children en elderly and make them regurgitate your word ? I still say it was a cheap TV trick but people just ate it up.
The GU set up locations all over the world where Kythra would speak to the people through giant Holoview screens. People were greeted with drinks and food and were seated in small theater-sized tents where these “revalations” would take place.
Now my opinion is that the GU just drugged up the audience and then bombarded their asses with mass hypnosis cuz sure as fuck in every tent some people got up and started ranting in strange languages and shit. Antikythera this, Antikythera that. People pissed their pants in disbelief. Needless to say after those “shows” Kythra was more then accepted. God, people are dumb as clams.
Now by this time the internet was already highly censored but still fully available if you wanted to risk heavy fines or imprisonment. But after big K was introduced it soon became heretical to even be on the web without permission from the church. Funny thing is, even after the goddamn zombieapocalypse people STILL believe in Kythra. She has conveniently not spoken to anyone ever since the GU ran like frightened little dogs when the plague hit. But that don’t matter to the Techiats. Hell no, they’re just saying we pissed big K off badly and THAT’s the reason the plague hit in the first plague. Makes me just want to pull all my hair out and cry. Fuck.
This is one of the reasons Doc found me instead of a whole bunch of survivors. Doing what I do and being on the net like I am can get you lynched quickly, pitchfork style. It is one of the reason I won’t hang around any clustertown for too long. I am better off roaming the land with Pogo and Monique. I always say you should steer clear of two things, the rotface and the religious. I really don’t know which one is worse.
Anyways, we’ll speak again soon.
Peace!
