It took me some time to stop believing there was someone in my head watching my thoughts. I still have those paranoid moments when I'm really not sure. And it's horrible. I don't wish that on anyone.

People say stupid shit like "you don't have anything to be ashamed of if you have a clean conscience". As if that's supposed to make me feel ok about my privacy being invaded. Doesn't help that, according to god, my thoughts are sinful.

God and the NSA are bad enough, but what really creeps me out are those people who think our dead loved ones are also keeping watch.

"Grandma, do you mind?!? I'm getting laid here!"

"Fuck, Uncle Bob -- do you ever knock? Can I drop a deuce in peace?"

I don't think it's fundamentalists only. When the Snowden news broke, I thought the Tea Party nuts would be natural allies. They're usually the first ones to cry liberty and small government. Far from it. In that case, they were the first ones to cry traitor.

Speaking of idiots, since the NSA scandal is a clear cut case of going against civil liberty and for big government.

It's funny, I just finished reading the Greek satirist Aristophanes, and many of his jokes are in this vein of humor, which makes for a pretty neat contrast between the then and the now.

I never even had that thought as "god" as a big NSA Camera watching all of us. What a great way to keep people in line... hmm... I wonder how effective this big camera has worked? .. Is god the only one that can review the footage?

The difference between god and the nsa is that the nsa exists.

God sees the heart of your existence.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

What does this mean?

I know religious people try and use language that is as vague and open to interpretation as possible, but please try.
