holy week

[heslopian]

Though the worship of objects can be tempting it's also incredibly vulgar to me. When I think about people worshipping a crucifix with a dummy nailed to it I think that I might as well drop to my knees and worship the can of varnish in the living room. I don't want to unfairly judge anyone; that's just how it comes across to me. I had a similar reaction when I saw footage of a Muslim cleric weeping at perceived slander against Allah and the prophet Muhammad. I found it hard to sympathise, because his sobbing felt profoundly undignified and pathetic.
