Don't Teach

Don't teach the myths! Don't let them carry on!
Passing the lies to daughter and son.
The down trodden don't need a sermon or prayer,
They need real, caring people helping them there.

If There is a God

If there is a god
    could he be so infernal
As to condemn a thinking
    person to torture eternal?
Why give a person a brain and forbid it's use?
This does appear to be some kind of cruel ruse.

I Will Not Fly

When the agents of  this mortal world
   have sucked the life from my bones,
And you've laid my earthly remains to rest
   and marked the spot with stones,
I will not fly on yonder cloud
   or float with harp in hand,
For I have lived my life to full,
   and now have left, please understand.

Shackles

Marching through the ages
Keeping tight bonds on Mankind,
The words of ancient sages,
are shackles on the mind.

At first it was wielded
By power of sword and fear
and then later Mankind yielded
to persuasion of heart and tear.

ISIS Reign of Terror is Biblical

Many people are outraged at the tactics being used by ISIS in the Mid-East. They go into a town and slay anyone who is not with them. They kill entire families... women, children, infants, old people... everyone. Actually, Joshua was worse. His God instructed him to kill everything in Jericho that breathes. So not only did he kill all the people, but also all of the livestock and pets. Later in his campaign, they were a little merciful. The kept the young girls alive (after killing their mothers, fathers and brothers) so they could become slaves in their concubine. They did have to shave their heads and pare their nails (meaning, cut them down to quick - very short) so they could fight back while being raped.

Did Jesus Commit Suicide?

The Old Testament was written by God (Jesus) and in it he tells the Jews to slay anyone who tries to change their religion. So, God (a.k.a. Jesus) gave this Law to the Jews and expected them to follow it.
Then he took on human form and went down to these people and tried to change their religion.
Did he not know (of course he did, he's omniscient) that they would crucify him? So, in effect, he allowed his own suffering and death to occur. It's like her wanted it to happen. So, if someoen wants their death to happen, don't we call that suicide?
