Just couldn't resist...
Tell me what you think
About your friends at the top
Now who d'you think besides yourself
Was the pick of the crop?
Buddah was he where it's at?
Is he where you are?
Could Mahomet move a mountain
Or was that just PR?
Did you mean to die like that?
Was that a mistake or
Did you know your messy death
Would be a record breaker?
From "Jesus Christ, Superstar" Andrew Lloyd Weber
There's a book called "The Savage God", it's about suicide and goes into explanation of how suicide became a "sin", because followers of Christ were commiting suicide so often that the religion was dying out. If Jesus had died in prison it would have been less effective. It was a PR tool. Anyway, I'm off for a fun-filled weekend out of town. Everyone have a great weekend and be safe.
