Buddha Damn!
Now what cha gonna say?
Mo HAmmad! get outta my way!

Zoroaster Bless!
Take his name in vain
Bahaullah Blah is such a pain!

Make Christ pointless
everyday with what you say
cuss His name and watch your soul fray

“He doesn’t matter”
but don’t criticize the others
let’s be tolerant of our brothers

Tolerate all but Jesus Christ
Christians are “one way” crazies
Wonder what cha gonna think
when you’re bones are pushin’ up daisies

Ooooo... nothing like a bit of eye-ballin. And oh so true... tolerance and respect does seem to be for all credos APART from the Gospel of Christ these days. We can bend over backwards with the apologetics, and meekness is confused with weakness - in terms of what Christ has to offer, that is. However, if more true Christian grace was exhibited among those of us who are his followers, then perhaps His message might have more power to appeal. By that, I mean speaking our Truth in love and in a demonstration of its power in our own lives - not ramming a load of religious rules down people's throats. We cannot expect others to live by standards they don't believe in... especially when so many Christians don't! I guess walking the talk is the main thing... and standing up without embarrassment and speaking up for what Jesus means to us personally. An on-the-money write, Janet and one that reminds each of us that we all need to be clear in our own minds as to what life holds for us when sooner or later death red-rings our day... Like others, I like the hip-hop feel to this (showin me ignorance, but still!:)) Yes, SLEEEEEEEEP, and enjoy it while you can: your body obviously needs it. I needed 10 hours for about 10 years... now, with writing as my energy, I exist on between 4-and-a-half and 6... and have never felt fitter or better! Your time will come... ENJOY your time awake and don't be robbed of it by remorse and regret for not having more! LOL Kate xx

Well now that is one powerful poem Janet! It needs saying regardless of what anyone thinks, becasue it is what Christ thinks that counts the most, and we know who He is! Though some of our brother religions don't do it, many have tried to take Christ out of christmas, and God out of everything and they are the ACLU!Yet they never speak out against any other religion. You'd think people would get a clue as to why!Jesus the stumbling block that evil wants to be rid of! Thanks for sharing Janet!

Love,
Eileen
