we are not called to adoration
May 3, 2007
(BLASPHEMY!)
we are called to act in fellowship.
(it is a SIN to miss the ceremonies!)
we are asked to think beyond our selves –
(the only way to save your sorry ass is to OBEY!)
beyond sex and possessions beyond security and agenda.
(the most important thing is to avoid HELL!)
we are asked to dive in and swim upstream,
(keep your nose in the BOOK!)
living our lives to serve others …
I believe in a God becoming

the art of following
February 28, 2007
All that is required –
blind obedience
to keepers of the “truth”.
( Not to truth –
but to its “keepers”. )

if you believe in men who call for blood

You believe in
no forgiveness
no redemption
no hope
no Allah
no God.
You have been
misled.
Noah

Noah was the last to go.
Discovered face down
hands still clenched
from the struggle for air.
Siblings Luke, then Paul
then John, then Mary
coaxed down the hallway,
into the tub
one at a time
each head held under
until bubbles
turned to silence.
In the end no frantic prayers answered.
No angel made Mommy stop.
your choice

if you believe you are alone –
you are always alone
if you believe in guidance –
it is everywhere
I think
December 29, 2006
I am no better
or worse
than others.
I do not pretend
special powers
or treasures
to inform you.
I can only tell you
what I think,
not what to think.
concrete god
December 26, 2006
Is God not concrete
enough for you?
Do you need more
than knowing?
Do you need
tricks and promises?
experts and channellers?
pomp and ceremony?
the fear of hell?

beggars wear the rags
holy men wear fine robes –
money well spent
