RAMBLINGS


RAMBLINGS



I’M BOTHERED
LET ME TELL YOU WHY

IT SAYS IN THE BIBLE
THAT WE ARE CREATED
IN GOD’S IMAGE
THAT WE HAVE BEEN SAVED
AT GREAT PRICE
THAT WE HAVE BEEN TOLD TO PRAY
OUR FATHER
THAT GOD IS LOVE
HE IS CONCERNED
WITH HIS CREATION

THEN HOW CAN WE
A SUPPOSEDLY CHRISTIAN COUNTRY
DEBATE
WHETHER IT IS RIGHT
TO TORTURE
ANYONE

ADDING TO THE DEBATE
IS WHETHER
THE CHURCH
AND THE BIBLE
ARE ANY HELP

DOES GOD ADVOCATE
GENOCIDE
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
OR ARE THE AUTHORS
BLAMING GOD
FOR THEIR ACTIONS

THE CHURCH
ALMOST FROM DAY ONE
HAS HARSHLY TREATED
ANYONE WHO DISAGREED WITH IT

GRANTED
WE PREACH
A MORE BENEVOLENT GOD NOW

BUT OUR HISTORY
IS FULL OF DARK AGES
SOME BLACK PAGES

 HOW EASY
WE SLIP BACK

SO THAT WE DEBATE
HOW CRUEL
MAY WE TREAT
GOD’S OWN CREATION

THEN GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY
 FEELING JUSTIFIED
IN OUR DECISION
