Christine

Now, an ex-pao is a someone who is no longer a pao.
One who has seen the truth in the darkness of life,
read between the fine lines of deception,
and swallowed the light to keep it burning inside
without losing faith in what actually matters.
The definitive.
 
Paos follow the lies that a pao-padre barks about,
and also tries to pick up morals from the stories written
in the pao-codex(a book of tyranny and suffering and other abominable acts).
Then a pao tries to live and justify everyday actions
based on prior knowledge of the codex and the pao-padre's preachings.
If paos don't do this, or forget to do this,
then the paos are hypocrites for calling themselves pao.
Those paos who do this partially are still hypocrites,
but they don't like to see it that way because apparently,
they believe confessing one's wrong doings to the pao-padre
will grant them salvation (regardless of how deplorable they are in real life).
 
The ex-pao, the heretic, the free man/woman,
doesn't bear the burden or the divine(unnecessary) responsibility
of following rules set by men (arrogant, business minded men)
and hence is void of the stupidity of eating 'yeast' every Sunday
as the explicit rendition of some 1980 year old person's body shaped like a disc.
Nor do they feel the need to justify their acts
to anyone but themselves because in the end (or as far as our time here is concerned)
we have to search for our own salvation,
for no one will ever share theirs.
 
 
Pao - slang for catholic.
