Analysis of God works in slaughterhouses
Supply and demand.
Healing the souls of mangled animals.
Returning their chopped off heads.
Every milisecond of the day.
Because it tastes so good to us?
So we can smear them all over our tattood bodies and walls before we feel masculine?
Because he loves us more than them?
Because we've desensitised and disconnected from pain by watching horror movies.
Because no one sees you eat it?
Because we have a 'devine' soul
Because everyone else is under the social influence and propoganda and financial agendas?
Because there was meat in Eden?
How much betrayal can you take before you put the bolt gun and chisels down?
What PARTS of God do you believe in?
Can you connect the dots on your own Morality?
Are we living in a dark rhelm?
Do we have the right to know everything?
