Why Women Wednesday
Witizens,
It's been a week since we last danced, and I'm hoping some of you readers are still riding that Valentine high... Or at least, a chocolate one. And here we are one week later during Mardi Gras, the drunkest time of the year!!! Yay!!! For all of you Catholics, today kicks off the beginning of Lent, so on this Ash Wednesday, I've been wondering... Why Women, do we follow any organized religion? I mean, I'm going to have ashes on my forehead later, and I'm trying to fast and I know abstinence will be a cinch, but why am I doing any of this? According to "The Good Book", I only had the options to be some famous person's wife, mother, or whore. Women, have you read the Bible? Why do you put your faith in something that makes you feel like a perpetual Jezebel?
I'm a fan of reading the Bible; yet, when I read the parables and stories, I get the notion that most of the world's problems were caused by women. Most of the world's greatest heroes and most righteous men were killed due to a woman. John the Baptist, Samson, and who can forget all the sins Eve bestowed upon the world... The list is endless. Then there's Mary Magdalene, who may have been an apostle, but the Church felt it best to just sum her up as a prostitute. Coincidence? Is that what we women are to the Church? Whores? Is it because the clergy isn't allowed to fuck, or has it truly been this way since the beginning of time? Are we really just someone's wife or someone's whore?
I'm not saying that all religions suck, or that mine sucks; however, what exactly are we following and calling the ultimate truth? Is it because it was written? Are we afraid of hell? Are we really all just whores? Why Harlots, do we bitch about equality and the like, but when it comes to the Church's blatant misrepresentation of women, we say nothing? Why women can't we ask for a revision of the King James Bible that will rectify some of the misleading of previous Popes?
When I awoke this morning, I was going to give up things for Lent. After writing this post, I'm only going to give up Lent for Lent. It seems to be what a real Jezebel would do, and it's time for me to accept my role in my religion. Don't blame me, I'm a woman... I was born to destroy the world.
Truly,

Lioness,
What I neglected to mention is that according to every religion you're still under a man; I just assumed you knew. Extreme rights or fundamentalists, i.e. Orthodox anything, of any group would suggest you cover your hair, shut your, and get in the kitchen and bake some pie... Or join the other harlots at destroying the free world. In the end, I gave up sinning, which is what it's all about to me. Ironically, "Father Donald" said, and I quote, "What do we give up for Lent? Chocolate? I don't know... Maybe we could all do with less sinning... We could all learn some patience." Since I had spoken as much to my closest friends, I felt it appropriate and profound.
So my decision to give up the "Nuveau Lent" and take it back to the Old School seems to be reaffirmed, and I feel fine. I don't have to give up Earthly goods, and if I feel the need to, then they weren't so great to begin with. What I feel that I'm doing wrong in life I'm giving up for Lent, and if I'm lucky, for life. God Bless you bitches.
