A song I wrote about my parents.
I am not a professional musician, I am a broken human being.

"Ever since I was a little child,
I asked my mother why we believe in god.
She told me that he loves us, with a smile…
But that answer always kind of struck me as a little odd.
Because I was a better reader than my parents.
The bible’s god and their god weren’t the same.
Any honest kid can see there is no defense
For the psycho who will kill you if you mispronounce his name!
That ain’t love…
That ain’t love.
There ain’t no hate like christian “love”.
That ain’t love…
That ain’t love.
When all you have to be is honest, LYING IS NOT LOVE.
Maybe if you ever had a real friend,
You would understand just what you took.
But jesus pleased you more than your own children,
So you sacrificed us all to the death god in your stupid book!
You never ever really learned what love is.
You sold us for your own disgusting lie.
You used VIOLENCE on your BABIES to ENFORCE it
And it ruined my whole goddam motherfucking ONLY LIFE!!!
That ain’t love…
That ain’t love.
There ain’t no hate like christian “love”.
That ain’t love…
That ain’t love.
When all you have to be is honest, LYING IS NOT LOVE.
I guess I’ll do my best to wind this song down.
Thinking about you makes me want to scream.
So before I go, let me alert the whole town:
To never let your children close to JOHN STOWE or CHRISTINE.
Because these two are the FUCKERS who ABUSED ME-
…
Because these two are the FUCKERS who ABUSED ME.
I begged for them to stop, they told me “NO”.
So if you, my friends, could all join me in cursing
Until my dying breath, the liars: JOHN AND CHRISTINE STOWE.
That ain’t love…
That ain’t love.
There ain’t no hate like christian “love”.
That ain’t love…
That ain’t love.
When all you have to be is honest, LYING IS NOT LOVE.
When all you have to be is patient, VIOLENCE IS NOT LOVE.
When all you have to be is GIVING, TAKING IS NOT LOVE.
When all you have to be is LOVING, HATRED IS NOT LOVE.
…and FUCK YOU. for RUINING my life."
Fuck dude, just … fuck. I’m sorry you had to endure this, and I hope you can heal one day. Rather sooner than later, if I had to decide.
Thank you. I suspect I will be dealing with echoes of my trauma all my life. I have to remind myself that my parents were and are wrong, that I do not deserve to be hit. I have dealt with suicidal ideations all my life, my parents were hurting me before I could consciously understand anything.
The abrahamic faiths are death cults and should be opposed. What happened to me and worse is still happening to others all over the world.
Huge hugs. You’ve been abused and it’s going to hurt for a long time. I want to say that you’re not alone and many people are recovering from similar abuse. Much of life is finding the people who will make your life better. Finding your people takes time, but it’s possible. I wish more people realized that your blood family is only a starting group of party members. You sometimes need to cut party members and find new ones. Family is what you choose to make of it, not what the universe has decided for you.
It hurts now, but you’re still alive. They tried to ruin you forever, but recovering, growing, and living well is the best thing to do for you, and something that will hurt them to their graves. Take the high road, find new people to travel with, and don’t look back. Each day is a new one with chances to be better than the last and you can do this.
Have you ever tried Muslim love?
The abrahamic faiths sure are a treat for humanity. Would be way cooler if like Jainism or Sikhism was a major default religion.
Would be way cooler if Religion as a whole would go the way of the Sabletooth Tiger.
One of the main killers is politics and I doubt we are chucking moral and ethical philosophy as well as everyone’s debates about it out the window. That’s to say we can get all the same genocides and torment without anyone calling upon the supernatural and unfortunately we do.
But we should still oppose superstition and we should correct wrong beliefs. Magical thinking makes accountability impossible.
You blame “politics,” but what would politics look like if no one could lie? I suspect we would finally work together to do what’s best for us all. We can’t stop people from lying, but we can stop accepting faulty excuses. There is no evidence, argument, or reason for anyone to believe in any god. Only fallacies. But when people are allowed to believe whatever they want, abusers take that as far as they possibly can.
