Holy War 🙏

I was rolling my eyes at the first sentence and I busted out laughing at the third. Excellent setup and punchline.

Fun fact: Jesus is a prophet in Islam and appears many times in the Quran.

Every time I read a headline about Iran, I hear the acoustic riff in my head...

No different from killing for an ideology which lots of people around here seem to endorse.

Think of it like this:

It's people who were gonna murk kids anyway, this is just the best excuse for them to lean into because you're supposed to respect it.

And yet it's a tale as old as humanity. I sometimes wonder if I'm wrong, because I'm literally not that into anything. The list of things I'd kill for is super small. Shit, I was in the Marines, and halfway through my enlistment I was like what the fuck, and count myself lucky I didn't have to go to war. At that time, my biggest fear was that I'd have to kill someone because they were going to kill one of my guys, a real head fuck for someone who doesn't want to kill anyone.

Yeah, killing, just not for me. And I've given my opinion online before, and people have talked very cavalier about killing, and I've always just imagined it would be the kind of thing that you would never, ever stop thinking about, whether you were justified in doing so or not.

So yeah, to be so into something unproven that you're willing to kill for it, I kinda envy it. I want to know what that's like, because I just cannot get my head around it.

This was inspired by a convo with family if that makes you feel better
