Catholics, Guilt (or lack thereof), and Sebastian

Honestly, why would you institutionalise Guilt? To be sure, when you convince your patrons that you provide the only source of salvation, it's only sensible to assure that those patrons feel the desparate need for salvation at least once a week, But there's gotta be less painful emotional paths to dominance, y'know? Like, if people were convinced the only place where sex wasn't a sin was in church, no matter who you had it with, levels of 'practicing catholics' would be way up on 'lapsed catholics'. only having a spack really cos I hate the feeling, and remain convinced that if it wasn't for catholics, then it wouldn't be so prominent. Through natural selection, while catholicism was the dominant power structure, only the guilty weren't burnt at the stake. Odd as it sounds, but they're buggers for that sort of thing.

Anyway, it's not so much the feeling of guilt, rather the feeling that i should be feeling guilt, and the frustration that it's not really there. And frustration that i should think that it's required, for which, yet again, blame the Catholics. Well, there's one sector of the public that won't be voting for me, but fuck it, the real threat for the papists are these evangelical baptists. A raving mad atheist/buddhist with a blog shouldn't really be of any concern while Guy Sebastian continues to convert the teeny-boppers away from boring old mass to Religion! Party Style!
