"bigots" tell them the truth
so you all must think i eat babies in my free time just because i speak out against the church. on the contrary i live more of an ascetic lifestyle than most people who cling to any particular system of belief. i simply see things other people don't. growing up i used to think there was a devil in me. now i've come to find that there's a devil in everyone. It's called human nature. no matter how holy you consider yourself, it's still there. in fact by denying it, you only make it grow stronger. it's sort of like catholic priests molesting children. humans are sexual beings. though it is possible to overcome the need for sex, this isn't accomplished by simply clamping down on your sexual desires. that only makes you neurotic. a true celibate understands sex and knows that it only brings a limited kind of fulfillment. He conserves his energy for higher purposes like prayer, contemplation etc. but the point is, it's a growing process. if you are honest with yourself, you will eventually grow out of your baser tendencies. similiarly when you insist on polarizing the world into absolute good and absolute evil, you do a disservice to not only yourself but also to those with which you share your diseased perspective. if i've been short with some of you it's because i'm not interested in playing your little games of one-up-manship. quite frankly it bores me and i could care less. if it's any consolation i do hope you come to your senses soon.

But I enjoy my baser tendencies.

..I think what you thought about him was correct. That he was brought up in a strict Christian home and he decided he was going to be a Buddhist as a form of rebellion against his family.
