What if Jesus Christ was not a human
being?
If Jesus were say, a gorilla, would we
still be brought to everlasting happiness, or suffering, or would we
just be another wild animal dead?
If Noah's Ark is a true story, but it
is the gorillas who were those led by Holy Trinity of God, Jesus
Christ, and the Holy Spirit, would human beings be spared, or would
God not even be upset with the apes to begin with?
What makes our sickening, pathetic
society of irrational creatures so much more important than, say, the
lions of Africa? We are a self-concerned species – we use diet
pills to burn off the weight we're too lazy to work off and we use
teeth whitening strips because we can't seem to find the time to
brush our teeth.
And if Jesus Christ were an alcoholic
who slept on street corners begging for money, would anyone bother to
crucify him?
It seems I'm always staring off at nothing wondering “what if”, replaying scenarios in my head with
director's cut alternative endings, imagining what I'll do in the
next scene.
Life is a movie that never really gets
a happy ending. Although you may walk away from the theater thinking,
“hey, that was really inspirational,” you still know in the end,
the main character will die and all the extras in the cast will
forget their name and that they ever met them. Switch roles, and
repeat.
And for the record, happy, law-abiding
citizens with no drama never make for an interesting movie.
Think of every autobiography you've
ever read and tell me how many have zero pain, zero suffering. Happy people don't exist, and if they
do, they are unimportant. The world revolves around sadness because it sells. The Titanic movie made over a million and a half in
the box office worldwide – people paid to watch people die on a
ship.
How touching. |
