Broke down laughing again in my cults class.

Me and the art school kids were reading how Jim Jones used to claim to be the only true heterosexual and use the logic of "all true socialists know themselves in all ways, therefore all true socialists must be sodomized" in order to fuck the macho men of his church up the ass and humiliate them.

He'd also have them write him thank-you notes about what a great lover he was and how he put them in touch with their gayness and it was their fault that they didn't enjoy his great loving like they should have.

After a student said she was surprised by the reading, I was like, "Everyone likes to think that you can't shock them, but the truth is that you can, there's always something out there."

I then told them how Warren Jeffs would claim that he was educating children about the necessity of learning how to survive during the apocalypse, and would round up extremely young kids and their parents and tie a cow to the ground and slowly butcher it alive with a dull knife in front of all of them while it bellowed in pain.

"Wow," one of my students was like, and at that I began laughing.

"I know!", I was like, when I finally caught my breath a little.  "We have what, six thousand years of recorded history, and people are still finding new fucked up things to do to one another."

Then, I began laughing again, and added, "Really, people are endlessly creative.  You as artists should appreciate that."
