How to Confess to Murder

  If you were ever wondering how to confess a murder without having to face any consequences, just go to church. During confession in a Christian church, people often choose to reveal their darkest secrets to their pastors. Imagine how many dirty little secrets a pastor must know. Let's say, hypothetically, that someone was to confess a murder in church. Even if this person is accused, has to appear in court, and the pastor is called to testify, he or she is not allowed to say one word. They are so committed to their faith and responsibilities of being a pastor that even the law cannot persuade them to break their promises to their “God”. Pastors carry on with their lives knowing the most intimate sins of their congregation and yet they never spill the beans. They are the best secret keepers on the planet; which is a lot of weight to carry. All because they have a commitment and a dedication to a higher power that could possibly be a load of shit. If there really is no God, then they have been allowing criminals to walk freely without facing consequences for their actions. Faith is the strongest force in the world. Pastors have no proof and no validation of there even being a higher power, and still, they are completely okay with going against the law for the sake of their devotion to what could turn out to be a myth. I’m not sure that I will ever believe in something to that degree, and I’m not certain that everyone should within their lifetime. But everyone has something that holds them together; something to lean on. Pastors are held together by their faith.
