Mormons, Baptists, Catholics,Jews!
Come on everybody spread the news.
All are gathered to kneel and pray,
to a god that's long since gone away.
He spoke to Abraham and Moses too
and when rejected by the Jews he spoke to you.
How long more for these old wives tales?
The story of a man hung up by nails?
Too many say that they are the way,
all they want to know is can you pay.
How much money is your church now worth?
Is there someplace else for you after six feet of earth?
Let me tell you now people, when you're gone you're gone.
Ain't no one came back to tell me I'm wrong.
Open your eyes and your ears and hear what I'm saying,
get up off your knees and forget your praying.
Tangible proof is what you need,
safe solid facts not some fancy creed.
You ain't going no place after death now honey.
That pastor all he wants is your hard earned money.
Books that were written a long time ago,
ill informed opinion, a very poor show.
These days we have more education,
superstition is abolished in every nation.
That pastor guy he wants your affection,
especially when it's time for the collection.
So you just get poorer as you part with your cash,
The pastors doing fine, he's got his stash.

Originally posted by kd2aczNo, I beg to disagree. The author 'betrays' his true feelings throughout, the last verse adequately sums up the fact that the author is at complete odds with the compositions religious content...

Thanks for the response, I think we both opted the sarcastic 'route' then... 🙂
Sometimes they don't like what they see.
I am merely pointing that out.
I am not trying to offend anyone.
I don't know if there is a GOD.
I do know however that there are so many different religions
and even different branches within the same religion all squabbling
and fighting and making contradictory claims in order to get your
attention and your money.
I don't believe any of them have got it right.
Too many contradictions and not enough evidence.

Do you much care? Would you like to know Him if, in fact, He is up there?

If your faith means that much to you whatever your faith is then fine.
I hope it gives you comfort.
I however must have something more tangible, more solid.
Fact and evidence which cannot be contradicted like your faith can be contradicted.
There are too many religions out there all claiming to be the right one.

John 3:19-21
And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God."
NKJV
Just saying.....

I tried to point out logical facts about whats going on in all
these various religions around the world. All of them claiming to
be right. None of them are right. All they want is to control you
and take your money. None of them give a rats ass about you or me.
If you would look beyond the rhyme you would see that.
It obviously struck a truthful chord with you because you are annoyed.
The reason you are annoyed is because I stood up and said what I said.
What I said is true, they just want your money and you know it too.
None of them can offer you any hope or solid evidence of any god or afterlife.
Logical solid facts and irrefutable evidence which cannot be denied is the way
forward just as you would in a court of law. These facts cannot be overturned.
You don't like what I said but you cannot dispute it.
All you have is superstitious religious mumbo jumbo to attempt to
back up your argument and it does not stand up.
How many Christian churches in America declared themselves bankrupt
in 2011 just so they could say sorry we have no money now to compensate
children who were abused?
And what happened when Archbishop Paul Marcinkus ran away from the
great state of Illinois with millions worth of US bonds?
They wanted to jail him but he fled to the Vatican and hid there until he died.
You quoting verses from the bible is not going to change that.
There's no point in telling people that your faith is different it's not.
Yours is just another branch of the same old rubbish.
What I have spoken are facts. If you are insulted by facts well then
I am sorry for you.
