I agree... the first God we need to learn to respect is the God within each one of us, then within each other, and finally the one that created us...

I love the opening verse.

Very thought-provoking
and some excellent points made.

I'm more a spiritual person then
relgious but I agree that
like everything "the story" as
you put it is becoming too comercalise.

Love these "provocative" writes of yours
as that make you think outside the square.

You bring forth some very important points in this pregnant poem, touching on truths that never should be given up working on and reminding of:


"A simple message of just love and common sense,
of peace, co-operation, brotherhood and kindness
was mixed up from the beginning
in a terrible dogmatic passionate confusion
for which Paul, or Saul, was most responsible,
who without ever meeting Christ took charge of all Christianity
and started the first schism with Peter,
separating christendom from jewry,
starting a dogmatic church of power and intolerance,
eventually evolving into that notorious autocracy
of one infallible political state Church,
which system later made it possible to introduce
the inquisition, persecution of so called heretics,
burning anyone alive who was unlucky to have been informed against
and starting the first genocides against the Indians of South America.
That Church was not Christianity and certainly not that religion
which the carpenter of Nazareth once humbly introduced
of love and humbleness, of peace and brotherhood,
of working all together on the art of being kind."

This write has a catchy essence to it that seems as if it is all on a light note. But truely the moral has something to do with all of our lives, good or bad.

It is good to write something that everyone can feel a part of, and also to know that everyones curiosity is worth being curious about.
