Very few things actually make a whore smile: The melodious jingle heard pleasantly
within her purse from a night of frolicking in return for intimate favors, and the
mischievousness of having deceived yet another man into believing that somehow he has gained
something worthwhile in return for the sacrifice of his intelligence and integrity as he sold
himself for a pretense of passion and uttered words untrue.
In the real world, things are not always as they seem. And so, contrary to popular belief,
it is not the whore who sells herself to a man. He sees the allure of her wares and knows he
wants her — wares that captivate his imagination's senses as erotic words gently caress his
ears, while the promise of a heated tumble in the hay 1 becomes that glazed over look in his
senselessly crazed eyes that no longer see reality, but are driven solely by that stand to attention
stirring within his groin. No selling on her part is necessary. The act of selling oneself to
another in return for intimacy is one which is carried out by the man who is willing to pay
another for a moment of pretend passion and pleasure. The true whore is not the woman (or
person) who receives money for services rendered. The true whore is that person who is willing
to pay in return for being lied to.
So what, you may be wondering, does this article have to do with the profession of
prostitution, if anything at all? Just this: There is a logical analogy that may be drawn between
those services performed for a man by a whore, and those services performed for mankind by
Organized Religion. The analogy? A whore is willing to lie to a man, in lying with him, in
return for his money and, likewise, Organized Religion is willing to to lie to mankind, in allying
itself to those disciples willing to believe its falsehoods, in return for our money and blind faith.
Deception Is A Whore's Face Smiling by Marvin Thomas Cox-Flynn Page 1
How could I have possibly arrived at such a ridiculous conclusion? How dare I share
such a statement? A good writer will do whatever it takes to gain the attention of his readers —
and hold it. As a Freethinker, I shall attempt to do just that. But, what is a Freethinker 2, you
may add? To borrow a short paragraph definition from my article, The Road To All Too Soon 3,
a Freethinker is: “... any person who is willing to accept and explore the possibility that
everything they were ever taught to believe as an established truth may not actually be true —
and that honestly, selflessly, and diligently in search of that which is true, rather than choosing
to cling, blindly, to accepted and commonly held truths.”
This speculatively philosophical article of conjecture 4 is written as an exercise in the art
of Freethinking in an attempt to drive home a powerful truth which very few (if any) of us wish
to accept. Mark Farner, of Grand Funk Railroad, said it best in his song, “Born To Die.” We
all wish to live forever (or at least we think we do) in a perfect state of physical, mental, and
emotional, well being. And so, Organized Religion tells us that which we so long to hear in
soothing our ears with a salvation's salve of Eternal Life.
Eternal Life … What a wonderful sounding concept … Yet, it is a concept which is not to
be found anywhere in the Universe, except within the hearts and minds of men who cling to it
fervently. For though stars possess a life span of billions of years, as honored illuminary
ambassadors of the heavens, even they succumb to the eventuality of ceasing to exist. In stark
reality, the death of a star, in a manner of speaking is not all that different from the death of a
man. Some unseen, unknown, unexplained, spark of energy sets them both in motion of living
existence, to eventually see them expend their energies to a cumulative point in time that shall
culminate in their ceasing to exist as, either, a source of light that gently warms Earth-like
planets, or a man who warms the heart of the woman he loves ...
As my readers, please do know that I am all for the concept of Eternal Life, for who in
their right mind would not be? However, as a Freethinker, I do not advocate the teaching of
Eternal Life without concrete evidence of its existence. The cold hard reality is that, the
concept of Eternal Life does not even qualify as a viable theory 5 for presentation as a provable
truth of existence of life after death. Such a concept sounds good, too good, and when something
sounds too good to be true it generally is, because it is not truth at all but is, instead, a cleverly
false, misleading, deception presented to our eyes and ears for absorption into our minds,
regardless of its original intent or purpose. The historically provable fact is, “The concepts of
Heaven and Hell6 are pagan in origin, as discussed in detail within my article, Is God Illogical
As Hell.7
Perhaps in the beginning (not the Biblical beginning but the beginning of men attempting
to explain to other men where we go or what happens to us when we die) the intent of this
trickery was to give men hope in sincerity, in the face of certain death through adversity,
whether such adversity was that of catastrophic natural disasters, food shortages resulting in
starvation, animal attacks, attacks from other humans, or the ravages of plague brought on by
disease. But, more than likely, the primary reason for this initial deception was in that of
Christopher Columbus believed the world was round in a world of peers who
devoutly attested the world was flat. His personal belief was an unpopular opinion,
If asked, every person will respond that they seek only truth and never lies, but the
search for truth is not an easy or smooth path, and truth, when discovered and
uncovered, is not always a pretty thing to behold, nor is it, necessarily, a tasty treat
to be savored, for, all too often, accurately established truth revealed, and no longer
concealed, is a shocking revelation of bitterest reality ...” — Marvin Thomas Cox-
