Belief in a Holy Power is not equivalent to belief in a religion, and agreeing with a religion’s code of conduct is not the same as believing the “SACRED TEXT” of your religion is god given and infallible. When religious people insist their text is the absolute word of god and must be adhered to and accepted we box ourselves into a corner where we have to chase our own tail, a tail we never catch because if we did we’d choke on it. Faith and religion may have value, but if one’s faith precludes acknowledging advances in understanding our universe then they’re a bane, not a blessing.
There’s Jesus Christ the Father,
there’s Jesus Christ the Son,
there’s Jesus Holy Spirit,
He’s how the West was won!
Great Jesus Christ almighty,
evoke his sacred name
and if you don’t believe it
eternity in flames!
Now it may sound as though I’m
poking fun at your god,
but you can rest assured that
poke fun at every one.
The testaments that followed
The Book of Malachi
are no harder to swallow
than Jonah’s whale bye-bye!
Long ago upon the Earth
a miracle evolved
as went from carbon atoms
to single cell dictums.
Now that’s atom with a t,
not A-D-A & M
still if call it miracle
I’ll chorus with, “Amen!”
Far away, eons ago
Mankind became a thing.
If years you’re thinking thousands
needs exponential ring!
Your sacred texts aren’t wholly,
but wonderous they are,
with them Homo Sapiens
with infinity sparred.
Priestly Class is never wrong,
if doubt that you should ask
the witches and heretics
the priests turned into ash.
Galileo imprisoned
when declared, “It still moves!”
and yet some still insisting
by Bible text should rule.
Of course it’s not just Bible
contemptuously sing
any text by anyone
that zealously do cling.
The words of gods were written
by humans of flesh and blood
men trying to make sense of
flat Earth and sky above.
There’s wisdom in Holy Books,
but listen as I say,
an advantage of science
is they do more than pray.
The scientific Method
is a true gift from God
for with it we analyze
great data He’s bestowed.
A postulate disproven
is postulate replaced
that’s a sign of strength, you see,
in no way is disgrace.
Each and every one of us
has right to live our lives
each of us has fantasies
that deep inside KNOW are lies.
All I am really saying
with my blasphemous song
is render unto Caesar
where the truth does belong.
If you believe Genesis
with time frame of six days
then go about your business
but don’t stand in the way.
The way of wielding wonder
as we think, learn, and grow
and through our discoveries
find your truths ain’t all so?
reason we’re given reason
is ever upward go.
Long ago and far away
Mankind became a thing…
