(Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-80 ) I Don't Believe in God



I DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD

I AGREE WITH THE ATHEISTS

I DON'T BELIEVE IN THE GOD

THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN EITHER


THE WHITE

BEARDED

MONARCH

WHO WILLY NILLY

INFLICTS PAIN

WHO IS DISINTERESTED

IN THE WORLD HE CREATED


I DON'T BELIEVE

IN THIS GOD


I BELIEVE IN A GOD

OF HOPE AND PROMISE


A GOD WHO SAYS

I'll create Jerusalem as sheer joy,

create my people as pure delight.

I'll take joy in Jerusalem,

take delight in my people:


No more sounds of weeping in the city,

no cries of anguish;

No more babies dying in the cradle,

or old people who don't enjoy a full lifetime;

One-hundredth birthdays will be considered normal—

anything less will seem like a cheat.


They'll build houses

and move in.

They'll plant fields

and eat what they grow.

No more building a house

that some outsider takes over,

No more planting fields

that some enemy confiscates,


For my people will be as long-lived as trees,

my chosen ones will have satisfaction in their work.

They won't work and have nothing come of it,

they won't have children snatched out from under them.



GOD HAS PROMISED

I BELIEVE IT

IT WILL BE SO



I BELIEVE

THE ACCEPTANCE OF STATUS QUO

IS AN IRRELIGIOUS ACT


A BETRAYAL

OF HIM

WHO GAVE US THE WORLD

TO CARE FOR


IS THE WORLD BETTER

FOR DIFFERENT CREEDS

WHERE IS THE PROOF IN THE PUDDING

SAVE ME FROM RELIGIOUS PEOPLE


WHO SING

PRAISE GOD

ALL THE DAY

AND DO NOTHING


IT'S A WONDER

THE ATHEIST'S FIRE

DOESN'T FLARE HIGHER

WE FEED IT SO MUCH FUEL


Before they call out, I'll answer.

Before they've finished speaking,

I'll have heard.


Wolf and lamb will graze the same meadow,

lion and ox eat straw from the same trough,

but snakes—they'll get a diet of dirt!

Neither animal nor human will hurt or kill

anywhere on my Holy Mountain," says God.



IN THIS ADVENT SEASON

COME AGAIN

LORD JESUS

COME AGAIN


LET THE MIRACLE

OF YOUR INCARNATION

INFUSE SOCIETY

AND LET THEIR BE

NO MORE KILLING

ON YOUR HOLY MOUNTAIN
