I realize that Michael's passing came as a huge shock to EVERYONE in the MJ community.
Michael's fans have a level of devotion unmatched by ANY celebrity, and you can quote me on that. There's just nobody who had the legitimate relationship he did with us. We were there for him, we supported him, and he meant the world to us.
So its no surprise that people were deeply saddened (some, unfortunately, to the ultimate level--) when he was taken from us.
If anything you would think that this showed to people finally, once and for all, that Michael Jackson was a human being. He had the same vulnerabilities that we all do, and that includes mortality.
I understand that this event is hard for people to accept. But honestly? I'm tired of all this supernatural-sounding BULLCRAP people have been coming up with.
I'm sick to death of all the conspiracy theories, all the 'symbols' people saw (*coughMADE UPcough*), all the 'government was involved', 'this group of people were out to kill him' crap. I'm sick of all the reading WAY too far into what Michael has said, or what people around him said, or some stupid hand signal he supposedly gave this one time when he was shopping for shaving cream or WHATEVER crazy scenario people come up with.
I'm disgusted with the way people are treating this. There are TONS of groups on Facebook and the like, saying this is all a 'hoax,' (they use the term beLIEve to describe it) and they're bastardizing Michael's L.O.V.E. phrase in tying it to this nonsense. They say he's 'coming back' on "BAM's day" and I can't even describe the insanity that pours out from these pages. They use his KIDS! as 'evidence,' some criticizing them for not mourning the way they 'should have' for children who just lost their daddy.
Michael is not JESUS. Michael is not some GOD (though he's about as close as you can get). Michael is a HUMAN. And as much as it deeply pains me, pierces my heart, TEARS ME APART inside.... he is gone. He's not coming back. His presence will NEVER leave us, our hearts, and the impact he has made here will last for centuries to come. But he is not coming back from the dead. And I CANNOT believe he is a cruel enough man to have been deceiving us this whole time into thinking we've lost him, only to come back later.
I feel like fans are sullying his memory by doing all this crazy cult crap. They're making the sane among us look bad. Not to mention they're making it look as though Michael is a bad influence.
This isn't nearly all that I wanted to say but I needed to get this out and see if anyone was quite as outraged as I was at this UTTER NONSENSE.
Michael is not a religion. And I think he would be deeply upset to find that his fans have been treating his death with such indignity and foolishness.
