Mictelantecuhtli, Aztec God of Death
First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, USA
Another good day for sacrifices, America. All told, 28 dead and counting. Lots of children, some babies, men, women; a good mix, a good medley of hearts of sacrifice.
The powers of the world and underworld appreciate your faith. Believe in death, as you always have.
Begin your fruitless and inane search for motives, for excuses, for explanations; begin your palaver about the overdue "conversation" about gun violence.
You never could control your violent impulses before. You won't now.
Hate and fear are windows of perception, sensory tools for seeing the evil in the world, just as charity and love are sensory tools for seeing the goodness in the world. But you have let them rule your lives. You have become obsessive compulsives. You cannot touch the world without rifle oil on your fingers!
You have let Fear and Hate become your gods... and having said that, it's totally OK by me.
