Jacob Plays: Griptape Backbone | Skating in the 90's
Instead of writing a long description , I'll just put the "Confession" that the game put as a text file on my desktop while I was playing.
Confession:
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. My last confession was 9 years ago.
Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
I've lost touch with my faith. I've been partly blasphemous. I've masturbated, a lot.
I'm bisexual, though I refuse to accept that as a sin but whatever.
I stopped praying every night and haven't attended mass either
Mostly skipped out on church due to me throwing up in the pews from all the damn incense.
I mean, I haven't murdered anyone, or anything terrible like that. I just stopped relying on religion as a comfort.
I look at the changes and continuties over time and religion seems to be the primary cause of human strife
Just look at the crusades, the shia sunni split, the protestant catholic split...
There I go again... I'm sorry Father.
I just don't think god would want us to fight over such trivialities. God or no god, we should just try to be decent to each other.
...
I think we can live perfectly ethical and fufilling lives without the threat or promise of some afterlife.
If the stories make people live better lives, then great. I'm all for it.
However, if it's interpreted completely literally then there's going to be problems.
It's just a very long game of telephone, and there is bound to be some things lost in translation along the way.
We are not sinners. We aren't terrible human beings.
There is no bad, nor good. The world seems far too complex for that. There only is what there is.
I can't prove that god exists, neither can I disprove it either.
We may never meet our creator, and I'm okay with that.
Perhaps 'God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he has created?'
Believe it or not, that's actually a quote from Spy Kids 2.
Anwyays, I don't know why I came here... Ah yes... because I'm dying
Welp, hopefully this suffices. I lived a good life and am ready as I'll ever be I suppose.
Give thanks to the Lord for He is good.
One Act of Contrition, that is all.
For His mercy endures forever.
