But I find this kind of verbosity entertaining in a chilling sort of way. To me TheGoodNews is akin to a freak of the old circus sideshow or Jerry Springer daytime TV. Here is an individual whose mind is so colonized by this old parasitic memeplex that he has been converted into its reproductive organs. And he hangs them out for the whole world to see.
Or maybe a more apt analogy is that of the 1950s sci-fi B movie. The aliens have landed and taken over a local. There is a thrill to know that such danger is real enough to observe but not immediately pressing on me. I thank Godless that I'm on this side of the internet and the slimy thing can't reach here. I'm safe.
Or another movie trope:
The zombie jesus has eaten the brain of another hapless human. He has little hope of a cure (Thinking 'I am Legend' here) but I was vaccinated long ago and I'm not really frightened of the vacant stare and slavering jaws.
It's sad for the victim. It is likely they will never see the beauty of reality without the props of a cartoon God. Though I've never really empathized with the living dead. They can mutter on for all that I care. Fun to watch.
Love this, I could not said it any better even if I tried
