Pure Fantasy - Amen !

jesus stalked me
jesus talked
at me

jesus walked with me
yet I could never be
a christian

as its all pure fantasy
a fairytale to entrap
the weak
and gullible fools
who need a crutch

they are just like
a bread fed duck
who comes to
the strangers
for some mammon
and then its gone

hey presto
magic is all
slight of hand
welcome to the end
of your mind

the messiah
the messiah
pieced together
by the many liars
who want control

over the feeble
over the weak

repent ye
repent ye sinner
baptise your filth in our
home made hell fire

we enjoy a good banquet
and will feast upon your
worthless sin stained flesh
and then we'll drink your blood
we are the blessed hypocrites
and yes we are so full of holy shit.

Lenny

every piece of literature about religion can be called fantasy. Ah, but then there's faith, believing in something you can not see taste or actually hear, only in your heart and mind. I really enjoyed this piece, good for an excellent debate. Well done Lenny! thanks, Eddie "if I run into "Jesus" while I'm drunk, dose that make me an apostle"

faith makes me smile

as it is a cop out!Religion is,in my opinion,a tool of mass control;working very well in the Vatican I see! Makes me laugh,it really does! I like to follow my own path and know that I am happiest when doing so. When I was a teenager I bacame a born again christian (foolish me!),so I talk from experience. 2 + 2 = 4,no faith needed there! Can you,or anyone prove in "god"? Answer = NO! So they parade that good old mantra - "faith"!As Osho quite rightly put it: "Priests and Politicians are the Mafia of the Soul" ! That dude was spot on!!! Eddie,thanks for your comments,very much appreciated. Lenny be rebellious!

Lenny...

smiling... I had read that you were now an ordained minister on another post, but I thought that we agreed on religious matters so I didn't say anything about it... I agree with this write wholeheartedly but I really don't understand why you would choose to become a minister if this is the way you feel... me, I say it when it comes up, but I do not try to take from any the things they have been taught to believe... ahhh but they do me... they say I'm confused or mislead or just plain stupid... so in that light maybe I can see your reasoning... but it certainly wouldn't be for me.. I grow weary of the debates about God and the lack of... most are not going to change their minds anyway... My Mother, she is old, I am 50... she tells me all the time, Jesus loves you...I say, Mom...I am an atheist.. she says ...no you are not, you were saved in the blood... you are to good of a person to be an atheist... I believe that that is where the problem lies... people think that religion came before moralities.. before it was apparent to people that we needed laws and needed each other to survive.. ridiculous if you ask me, but ask a christian that question... I also believe if you need God for you to know that killing and raping, stealing and all of the other atrocities mankind preforms against each other is wrong... then you need God... me... I don't.

I am an ordained minister

however I don't peddle the crap of the so called "orthodox/accepted church".Organised religion damages,corrupts and controls,my ministry doesn't involved any of that;to me life is "god",or whatever special term you want.Even being an atheist involves a faith! To believe in ZERO is indeed a lifes work.So,in conclusion,I don't peddle any faith;I don't preach.There are such places as heaven and hell - they are emotional experiences not places!We each get what we deserve,me,I'm no different!I know of certain esoteric laws through experience,and have experienced an OBE.For me that taught me more than any books I've read.Look within and there is the answer,maybe not in this lifetime....... Rock On Dude! be rebellious!
