Jesus Rant in the
Key of D
by
D Edward Collier
This is a Christian nation, the United States of America, or so I am told...
A Christian nation???
Is it a Christian Nation...?
... or is it a Jewish
nation, or a Muslim nation, or a Buddhist nation, or a Baptist nation, or an
any Religion nation.
My observation is this, if indeed we are a Christian nation, then the qualification for 'faith of the nation', is defined by the loudest, pushiest group of people worshiping something.
I call myself a Christian, but what I personally believe is very different than main stream evangelical Christian Faith.
I believe this really loving 'Cat' from Nazareth,
imparted TWO rules upon us, right before he was shown what
preaching love and peace will get you.
Say thank you each day to your creator, father, origin, god and love that being, is #1. Love everyone else just as much as you love your creator, is #2.
That is all!
If you have more than a passing familiarity with the devout
Christians across the world, you will see the rather large gulf between
our two sides of the faith.
Wiccans don't worship the goddess skyclad
(naked) on the evening news or in a legislative session or in a school, or
before a high school football game, or before a graduation.
But, across America today, there are 'christians' fighting a
cultural war of words, actions, violence, and hate against anyone who
will not allow them to put a christian ceremony, front in center of the
culture, or on top of, or after, any official gathering/function in a
civic/public setting.
It wouldn't be so bad, if the ones pushing these ceremonies, didn't feel most of the population were unworthy of their 'Loving God.'
So, I just want to publically say this to them...
"Don't force your literal interpretation,
of a collection of constantly rewritten
and reinterpreted folk tales, put to paper,
by man, in the form of a book, on me in
public, or at all."
YOUR religion is YOUR business!
No
matter what YOUR preacher says, don't try cramming it down my
throat, or
carrying it to other people, lucky enough to not have heard
YOUR particular brand of Crazy before.

'Missionary' is a sexual position,
not an
avocation for your life, or a job you must travel,
far from home to do,
because
you hear voices
in YOUR head,and of
 |
| Chasing Faerie lights... |
course YOU want other
peoples money
to do
this 'Mission.'
I have a mission for You, try using a Grain of Salt,
or historical perspective, on the people who lived at the time
these stories were conceived.
More Than 2000 years ago...
Picture and Conceive of their 'genuine lack of knowledge' about how the
physical world worked...
7 days... really? You literally believe that is true? 2 of every animal on a wooden ship for over a
month, predators and prey, tended to by a family headed by a drunken incestuous
pedophile, during a worldwide flood?
really? Swallowing that one
also? 1 apple peddling snake, the root
reason there is suffering and NOT paradise?
Open wide, and try not to choke, I bet your pastor is really proud of
you for taking that shit in without question.
I call myself a Christian, because there
was a man, who was recorded to say, around 2000 years ago, that we should be
thankful we are alive, and love everyone the same, including ourselves.
He said this at great personal cost to
himself,
He wanted people to open their eyes and stop suffering,
the FOOLs
around them that 'claimed to speak for a
god.'
He did this because he loved people,
not because he was trying to found
a
religion.
I love y'all too...
just
don't get that worked up when I say it.
We need the wood elsewhere!!!!!!!
B e s i d e s . . .
I don't know 12 people I want hanging around all the time,
and
neither would You.
There is a lesson here... if you block the sun with your bible
and squint through what you have been told to believe...
Don't Worry About
Other Guy! (women or child)
Other Guy! (women or child)
Stop taking such crazy
sh*t
so seriously...
nuff’ said!
