The God that Separates

Post by Red Ryder »

The God that separates

Wine from the lips of man
Panties from the hips of woman
Thoughts from the minds of children

The God that separates

Money from our messy existence
Based on our choice in the pre-existence
Shut up, listen, don’t offer resistance

The God that separates

Happiness from our soul
Don’t leave, you can’t fill the hole
Don’t leave, it’s your eternal role!

The God that separates

The god that separates and divides
Reality replaced by myth
Hung on the ideas of Joseph Smith.

The god that separates

fiction from fact
Families not intact

Truth from fiction
Nothing but friction

Multiple visions
Lead to divisions

Multiple wives
destroy lives

190 years later
Life through the grater

What do we know
It’s all been for show

Don’t think
Just drink

And when it’s time
You’ll find the magic of wine!

My daughter, who is a poet, said to tell you that was very good.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

Now... If I could just find the right font, separate it into two columns, and Viola! I can replace my Proclamation Against The Flamily, with the Proclamation of the Red Cowboy!

(Let's be honest: If I didn't include the Red in Red Cowboy, and formatted it close to the Proclamation Against The Flamily, no-one in the family would notice for... Weeks? Months? Years? I'm going with at least months.)

Yep, it took a prophet like Joseph Smith to
create a god who would separate
families. What a lovely concept :roll:
God is Love. God is Truth. The greatest problem with organized religion is that the organization becomes god, rather than a means of serving God.

These need to go into the NOM hymn book.

Also, we need a NOM hymn book.
