A poem I wrote to highlight the difference between Jesus and false religion. In the scriptures Jesus received the most opposition from the most religious people of his day. At it's core Jesus' gospel and the good news of the Cross is in pure opposition to self-righteousness/self-justification. Religion is man centered, Jesus is God-centered. This poem highlights my journey to discover this truth. Religion either ends in pride or despair. Pride because you make a list and can do it and act better than everyone, or despair because you can't do your own list of rules and feel "not good enough" for God. With Jesus though you have humble confident joy because He represents you, you don't represent yourself and His sacrifice is perfect putting us in perfect standing with God the Father.

Actually, I have an IQ of 170. You're also wrong about me being lonely. As for the being full of shite part, it's not my fault you're a religious fanatic.

Gee Seuss said, "Where there are three deities, they are divine. Where there are two or one, I am with that one." Gospel of Thomas 30

'Say not three: DESIST! It is better for you' (pretty redundant in the Koran) Is it better for men or jinn? Maybe 'is' is better for men; and 'it' is better for jinn. I think the Koran is talking to the other two books which talk evidently; the Bible says so, doesn't it? The Bible is a question book; the Koran will answer a lot of them. The religion ruined it:(

[Rolling Stones]

Holy mary, full of shit, our pube is with thee, blessed art though among penis, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb chodus, Holy mary, mother of chode, fist for us winners, now and at the hour of our laugh, chode.
