The other day I saw a young man on tumblr that caught my eye. He looked about 
20, 21 max. Dude was pretty stylish, fashion forward.... Until I instantly felt 
myself go into a frantic indignation...( or maybe I'm being over dramatic, but 
you'll understand soon enough). He happened to be wearing a hat with the symbol 
of satanism (pentagram), and a cross around his neck. Then me being the 
undercover journalist that I am (in my head of course), I read some of the 
comments. Many of the comments read pretty cliche, basically along the lines of 
"dope bro!", and "where can I get that hat?" . But one stood out challenging 
this obvious human oxymoron. (I shall paraphrase) "How are you wearing satanism 
and Christianity at the same time?" The response did not really shock me, well 
not as much as the "lol" that it began with to make light of the situation... " 
Lol, I'm a walking contradiction". 


(*GASPS*)

I was livid. I guess because I too once was an indecisive young adult that could 
never choose a side, it took me to the MOON!! Contradictions are the leading 
disability in my generation. We are constantly saying one thing, doing another. 
Advertising one faith, and "believing" another. We praise people who have done 
nothing for our generation but push us further into materialistic, hedonistic 
thinking, and we kill, violate, or don't even pay attention to those pointing to 
the side of right.

What are we doing? 


I chose to sing/cover/ rewrite ( you get it, lol) this song because it was 
already challenging my thinking and helping me to see the error in the way our 
society has pumped us to think. Robotically, we stand outside hours with our 
children for sneakers, but we're never seen at parent teacher conference, you 
know... Stuff like that. 'Kill Jesus, Praise Judas', I believe is one of the 
best thought out, written, and performed songs of all time. It brings light on 
contradictions, Christian consciousness, as well as political awareness. In my 
rendition, I had to stay within those bounds, but also give my views, and say 
what I've been dying to say (I wanted to say more, but I was lazy so I cut the 
song short,lol). Honestly man, I'm tired of the contradictions, tired of the 
back peddling, and tired of corrupt and foolish thinking. Support, live, and be 
what's right.... Not what's popular. 

I am completely aware of the " off trackness" being portrayed in this blog, but 
my points were made nonetheless. Enjoy the music. 


P.S. I sooo made up that " off track-ness thing. Just in case you thought I may 
be illiterate or something crazy like that. Love y'all!
