The scene is San Juan, Texas. There is a church there like no other. It is a huge church. Two levels, the floor level and the second level balcony. It is like being at a fancy opera house instead of a church. The parking lot is almost as large as that of a football stadium and there is also another building adjacent to the church which is a gift shop. Inside there is also an ATM machine. If god were not weeping before, he surely is now.
There are signs of where you can find the church on Facebook. Wow. Just wow. I knew that religion was big business. There are countless TV channels dedicated to religion and church. The church is a machine that will keep on rolling regardless of anything we think. The catholic religion itself is a beast of a business, a third of the world is catholic and a third of the world believes everything the church says to be true. How can one argue with something so large.
Inside the church is cool and pleasant. Not too cold, not too warm. Just right. There are bowls of holy water at every entrance and every turn. This church looks like a modern day amphitheater. A place Pearl Jam would play not a place of worship.
Think of WWE. The product has gone hill for so long and yet people still watch, and will always watch because that is life. At least for them. That is all they know and all they will ever know. Stars come and go and there is always the same WWE machine rolling along. And deep down we all know its not the same as yesteryear, not even close and yet people still watch with that mindless love. Its quite the thing. Vince could put 2 sacks of potatoes in the ring motionless for 15 min and people would watch. Stupidity knows no bounds. And that is the church for you.
So now lets talk about Jamo and Andrew. What should I say? That is the question isn't it? Jamo the ex world champion. And Andrew the ex IC champion. You two have impressive resumes. But impressive is a subjective term. Anyone can be impressive for a short time, hell even 2 sacks of potatoes.
The world goes around and around and we wonder what it all means. It means nothing. It is nothing. That is all it means. The world goes on, the church goes on, with or without us.
The same goes for Jamo and Andrew. You two tried your best to put your footprint in SFT. And for a while it worked, but you two slipped and lost your grip and now you are falling falling falling. And there is no end in sight for fall from grace.
So Jamo and Andrew the question will stand are you two able to stand on your own two feet or will you continue to plummet like religion in general?
There are facets to the world that are quite difficult to navigate through. Hard to live with that knowledge that we aren't who we think we are. Jamo and Andrew you two had risen quite fast and now that you have fallen, the question remains. What will you do now? Do you have the strength to stand up and start over again or will your weakness seep through and be seen by all.
Maybe its time you confess your sins and unburden yourself of all that weighs you down. I am no priest, far from it, but I would be willing to take your confessions if you ask it of me. I would not deny you that.
There are some in the world who would say that our sins not only weigh us down but drown us. I know this first hand, since my own have long drowned me. And I know I am not alone. Then there are others who believe they have never sinned and therefore have nothing to confess.
That would be a mistake. We all have something to get off our chest. We are all saints and sinners alike. No one is innocent. No one.
I feel like I have had enough of this church. Tired of it. Tired of it all.
It is time for me to take my leave.
I hope my words have sunk into Jamo and Andrew but somehow I doubt it. I doubt it very much.
No one ever hears anything but the sound of their own voice.
...Fade….to…..darkness…...
