Religion Sucks - Mark Sheibley

RELIGION SUCKS (LYRICS)

I can play guitar, I can sing and dance
I can say amen and I can raise my hands
I can do those things that we're used to
But there's one thing that I just can't do

I can't play church. oh no not me
I wont be a modern day Pharisee
I can't play church, oh can't you see
Religion sucks the life out of me

I can pray out loud, I can pray inside
I can speak in tongues and I can prophesy
I can do those things that we're used to
But there's one thing that I just can't do

Are you tired of religion and tradition, is it all just bringing you down
Want to hear that wind, that makes a violent rushing sound
Want to see His power and demonstrate it today
Well don't grieve the Spirit, just let Him have His own way
The churches now all need to put aside, our own agenda
We have to see through God's eyes
Let His Word and Spirit lead us all the way
I'm here to tell you I can't play church another day

Mark 7:9-10

9 And HE (Jesus) SAID TO THEM (pharisees): “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands (that given to Moses) of God in order to observe your own traditions! (applies to you, as it follows below)

10 For Moses (source of LAW) said, “Honor your father and your mother, and, anyone who curses his father or mother MUST be put to death.”

Matthew 5:18-19

Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or tittle shall nowise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Did heaven and earth pass?

[Here2AwakenU]

@Fastlan3 Then reading later we find that Jesus fufilled the whole law Himself and He said that we can also fulfill the whole law with one thing..."LOVE" (LOVING GOD and LOVING OTHERS.)

@Here2AwakenU

LOL that is not remotely a reply to what Fastian3 said to you, and you know it. You're dodging the issue....by being glib and "loving" sounding. The bible is not a loving record of a loving God, by a long shot.

[Here2AwakenU]

@1ProudFemaleAtheist I have not many humble atheists. The bible is not our leader or guide. The Spirit of God is.

[soulkiss1001]

any hint when the next amzing uplifting mark sheibly anthem,hymn, spiritual song might be released on youtube, or somewhere; please; no mark sheibley song sucks

@Here2AwakenU

You said it "the bible is not OUR leader or guide." I like how that sounds (spread that message, Amen), but the last sentence is a bit confusing?

Is there anyone else in the entire planet that is guided by the SAME spirit as you? You may find people of similarity, but for some reason every person's spirit-god disagrees on one or more facets of existence..hmm?

By what standards are we concluding you or anyone is in contact with a supernatural entity? Let a lone the same entity?

@7thNCtrooper2

I postulated inferences into what you may be thinking, so you can understand how I am understanding your comments. My opinions of the scripture are my ANSWERS to your assumption that I haven't read scripture. You may not like my opinions, but that isn't reason to avoid answering.

I disagree with a comment you expressed publicly, I addressed you with some questions to better understand your position correctly. I asked serious questions, and you have avoided all of them...hmm?

[7thNCtrooper2]

@DeconversionCentral Well, at least I know now that all you are seeking is agression, not answers. Have fun with your misery, I am not interested in talking to a person whom is not taking my belief seriously. You are forcing beliefs one me now, by calling what I believe in utter nonsense, but the real question is why are you fighting against a belief you believe to be nonsense. The answer, you know deep down inside it is truth. Why else talk against "nonsense" unless you are crazed?

[DeconversionCentral]

@7thNCtrooper2

How does one know what is of god, or of man?

I have read the Bible, several versions in fact. It is utter nonsense, one of the worst books ever written. It is really too bad so many people are blinded by the scriptures biases and propaganda.

So you can't answer the original questions? Or don't want to, perhaps you don't like the answer?

Most Nazis' didn't want to admit what Hitler had done was wrong either. Stalinist don't want to admit what Stalin did was wrong. see a trend?

[DeconversionCentral]

@1ProudFemaleAtheist

Non-religious belief certainly is gaining ground. Let us hope it is because people choose thing THINK indeed. Instead of trading one lazy choice for another. The world / technology is changing much faster then our species evolves, unfortunately.

@1980RockGirl

Maybe Jesus is satan...ehhh! Maybe satan he behind all of the creation, and religions, spirits, and that is why it makes no damn sense, and seriously confuses people (millions of different religions, 33,000+ Christ denomination, and demands his creation (us) to be well, when created a sick in the first place.

Tell me how did a perfect being (god) make a non-perfect thing, us, the world, the universe, satan, etc...? Wouldn't it more sense that a imperfect being created such?

[DeconversionCentral]

@Here2AwakenU

DID HEAVEN AND EARTH COME TO PASS? Go ahead, make excuses...

It is not mine, nor your fault the later writers of the scripture didn't know what their own supposed deity said. Even though "prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit." 2 Peter 1:21 BS!

Yes, Jesus thought heaven and earth were going to pass much sooner, within his disciples life time. (that didn't happen, so people naturally made excuses.
