There are two sides to every person. One side usually counteracts the extreme of the other, and in vice-versa. This concept comes into play when the video for "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails comes into play. See, I am very devout in my belief in Jesus Christ being my Lord and Saviour and Eternal Redeemer. There's no jokes about that, no quick quips. But that's my George Bushian side of me saying that.
My liberal, artsy-fartsy side says this nearly four minute motion picture accompanying the unique industrial sound of Mr. Trent Reznor is a feast for the eyes and carries on the grittiness of life. That's if you equate life with sado-masochism, bondage, bestiality, torture, and straight-up blasphemy.
Duality is what we all live for in our lives. We can appear to be the most squeaky clean entity on earth all in the hopes of getting into God's heavenly gates on the first try. But you can't shake the true being that comes from within. Just a reminder, Jesus died in order for us to live without sin...and without the stigma of filming/watching a semi-snuff film featuring people spinning on tourniquets and a severed pig's head doing the same on some crazy Eli Whitney-type cotton gin contraption.
Enjoy! (SVFNSFW):
Editor's Note: The point of this post is to drive home the true meaning of Easter, however twisted I present it. God forgives you for who you are, no matter what. It's not enough that we've been given the gift of "second life" through His Son's death that we have to live our lives in torture over our wrongdoings. Next time you think you're not worthy of this world because of your perceived guilt, be reminded that you were given the greatest gift and opportunity for this world through human sacrifice. Relax. Now, enough Bible-thumping. Replay that crazy monkey crucifixion again!
