THIS I BELIEVE

“I’m not going to talk about religious beliefs, because I think anyone who believes in religion is a rube and a dullard.

I don’t believe in my neighbors. I know their faults and they are legion. I know their flaws far outweigh any perceived virtue. Take Father Michael down the road. I’m not of his creed, therefore he is a moron. He’s probably a Republican too. If I’m in trouble, I’ll piss on his front lawn. My veterinary doctor is capitalist swine. I know he’ll charge me a fee to fix up my cat. Because he’s an asshole like that.

I don’t believe - and am not proud to belong to- the United States. Shortcomings like lynchings and bad faith in high places must be assumed collectively among every woman, man, and child because our nation has the worst foreign policy to be found anywhere in history. Truth.

And finally, I don’t believe in my whole race. They’re all ingrates. Every last one of them- scurrilous, dishonest, confused masses of flesh who are inherently rotten, the overwhelming majority of my brothers and sisters everywhere on this planet. I am not proud to be a human being.

I believe that we have come this far by the pillage of the weak, that we must always exploit the flesh of others —but that we will always make it…survive…endure… like cockroaches. I believe that this hairless embryo with the aching, oversize brain case and the opposable thumb, this animal barely up from the apes— will not endure longer than our home planet, and if we do, we will spread out to other planets, like a cancer, spreading our brigandage, and filth, and our unlimited capacity for bad.

This I believe. Why won’t you listen to me?
