Sin to Win

“I sin so you don’t have to.”
The Chemical Buddha believed he would better connect with his audience by filling a niche. Plus, it was something that came naturally to him: sinning. While Jesus died for our sins, TCB would commit sins for people. He thought of it as a total win-win situation. Except he found that people actually liked sinning. In fact, they loved it. What they really wanted was someone to forgive them for what they did and help them feel good about themselves. But, as we’ve already discussed, Jesus (and the Catholic church) had that one covered. So The Chemical Buddha decided to become a ‘sin consultant’. Because if all sins counted the same, you might as well go all out. Why settle for taking the lord’s name in vain or coveting another man’s wife (it says nothing about coveting a woman’s husband) when you could have sex with a married dead corpse? Now you’re sinning, breaking the laws of nature, and repulsing (and titillating) the public at the same time. We're sure if TCB would have lived a little longer, he would have made one hell of a reality TV star.
Do you believe there are different levels of lies or do they all count the same?
Is a lie you tell yourself worse than a lie you tell someone else?
