Whoever hears it...

Which god do you pray too?

Whoever hears it…


 


Some pray to God, some to Christ, some to Allah or the Buddha,


But ya gotta wonder which one is the real Mccoy?


I know, I know those who pray to whomever,


All have faith in whomsoever they pray,


But then again, who do those that worship cows, or horses or phalanxes pray too?


 


All the above I have no idea about, as my meditations,


The few that be,


Are all focused toward whoever hears it!


God, Allah, Buddha, dog or Mickey Mouse, I don’t care,


As long as I get some kinda answer to that prayer!


 


Yes, no, maybe, get the hell outta my faith (face?), get better grades,


I don’t much care where the answer originates, as long as I get paid,


So, might do right to remember, that there may be only one,


And if so, he will have himself/herself one hell of a laugh,


When we stand afore him for the last time to confess,


“How things were much better there, than they looked from up here…”


“Oh that’s all right god old buddy, don’t go to the trouble of the film,


oh no, oH NO, OH NO, OH NO NOT THAT NIGHT!!”


 


Okay, okay, I confess that my life hasn’t been necessarily prudent,


Yes, it has its excesses too, but gee you don’t think, that picky they will be?


 


Oh thank ALL the gods; it was only this time a dream…


 


                             but…

It's good that you are beginning to question. That's the beginning of faith, and I hope you will find the answers, God is our only hope.

i pray to God, the One up in Heaven. But good questions you ask; not all believe in MY God! (((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Texas, Karen Lynn. :D (I also accepted Christ into my life; I am a Christian, but will NOT preach to you! I am NOT going to judge you or preach to you, but you asked! LOL)

Ed...you do get right to the point ... don't you? I prefer SPIRIT to GOD...seems the word GOD has a lot of not so nice people ruining the faith. Therefore, I call on the GREAT SPIRIT (whoever that may be). I think just have FAITH...that's all there is to it. Believe in your individual self (there's only one of you) and the fact that there are no accidents...YOU are here for a purpose...a Spiritual purpose. Meditate and the answers will come. WE are CO-CREATORS of our lives.
Blessings,
Libby

The older i get the less i believe in anything but what i see. we have the god cell in us, we are our own gods, we create our own life or we destroy it.

Jesus is the Christ--my Book tells me so as well as my heart! Good questions, Ed--God gave us, as humans, the ability to think and doubt. His greatest gifts--His love and grace--He gives despite our pitfalls. b

a little speculative philosophy/theology
is good for the soul

take it from me,
God is.

it is when human beings start
try to say what (or who)
God is that we get into trouble

good write
