How Wicked is more interesting than the Bible
So Olivia…
Look. I know the Bible is the most influential book in history. I know it is one the most read books in the annals of history. And it’s the source and the doctrine I know half a world’s religion. But hear me out. Wicked has something the Bible doesn’t have. I’m not talking about flying monkeys and fancy witches but something more meaningful, more esoteric. And that is how Wicked is more interesting than the Bible.
Look. I could probably write a English dissertation or a creative writing class essay exposing the incongruence and the cohesion between these two literary works. That essay would be filled with examples, quotes, footnotes, references, and a whole hullabaloo of political correct bullshit to keep statements official and politically correct. Screw the examples. Screw the paragraphs. Screw that A+ effort with the C+ grade. I’m going to boil it down to one, one important flaw/power that takes Wicked to a place where the Bible can’t go.
Wicked has a love story.
Don’t give me that crap about that guy who works in servitude for his wife or any of that stuff in that Ole first half. The first half doesn’t count. No one lives for 400 years. And I’m pretty sure there was no mention of inserting genitalia into genitalia in a heat of passion and romance. And no, that begat begat begat stuff doesn’t count. I’m talking about that new second half everyone one is all apeshit about. Where’s the love story in that? And no, Jesus loving everybody doesn’t count unless he kissed everybody, not the my brother and sister kiss, but the grabbed a boob and became a beast with two backs kiss. The kiss lovers do. The Bible doesn’t have that. It doesn’t have two people who own each other’s world. There is no sense of Serendipity where two people were always meant to be together. Absent are the sacrifice and devotion that people get because they love someone who they want to have sex with because that’s the greatest expression they ever share. Nope. No sex and lust with Jesus in the Bible.
It’s crazy how the entire second have doesn’t have sex love. I don’t know whether Saint Peter kicked out a gospel. I don’t know if it was in there and it was scrubbed as heresy. I don’t know if we just lost a passage over the thousand years passing it down. All I know is that it’s not in there. Sex love is not in there. It’s hard to imagine why it isn’t because it’s important. It’s why kiss. It’s why we dry hump. It’s why we have children. In fact, it’s why we as a human race have been going on for thousands of years, by doing the sex love. It’s important. But why isn’t it in the second half? Who knows. My guess?
Maybe sex love doesn’t need a god. I know. Kinda scary. I know my mind is blown. But maybe it was in there. And someone took it out. I just have a feeling that it’s true, no real proof. It’s so important, so how could a huge book like the Bible leave it out for a whole half? But I have a theory. It’s stupid, useless, and probably blasphemous. But here it is anyway: see, Wicked has two people run away with each other, each stricken with beating hearts burning through gasoline in a huge diabolical case of the sex love. And you know that part of Jesus’s life where we don’t know what the hell happened to him before 24? I’m thinking we don’t know maybe because he ran away. Because, well… he fell in love.
I think I’m going to hell after this post.
