Ahem, indeed! Wasn't the original verse 'forgive us our ...' a plea to ancient city kings, 'forgive us our debts as we forgive those indebted to us' ... a jubilee? Thanks for the smiles ...

Love your poem, Edward and academic testamur, that appeals
to my imagination.
Both reminiscent of ...a TV show...that.... got together
Cardinal of Catholic Church and an atheist evolutionary
Scientist...to dwell on Science vs God.
Kudos to Aussies Teli for getting those two out there
and trying to engage with public "hard yakka" practical
wisdom.
Both speakers, fabulous in so many ways.......far too many
to list...but..while one of them excelled in anti-Genesis/God
autopilot...the other ruined his scientific reputation using
just...the philosophical arguments...
Both, continue through the show to deny who they really are...
trying to fit themselves into...what... they think other people
think...they should think...To follow the "process" is just
a whole lot of work...but thankfully they moved into the vast
territory of...Nothing...
Folly's always been considered a... state of an intellectual
detachment of reality....But...they dropped a hint..in order
to create Something out of Nothing.....Hm!..you have to start
Somewhere....and moving forward...fake it till you make it...
perambulating around science/religion/lack of it...observing
the pattern and everything else...on God's great Earth...
To see where it will take us to...took... a huge "leap of faith"
trusting...moving forward...creating something out of nothing...
and so on.....
They...forgot about the basics that we've learnt at Catechism
classes...that.... the Bible is not to be taken literally but
as a message for relevant issues...that... Science is further
evidence that God exists...and ignored the fact that..."Science
without religion is lame, Religion without Science is blind".
- Albert Einstein.
A fine TV show, but left us so undone...till now.
Now we have your poem/pray. Hilarious staff... My joy of strolling
in Vaucluse Hill devoted to pleasure took a new twist. I'm laughing
out loud.........The locals wonder...Why?
With warm regards Isabella.

You finally wrote something funny. Got me giggling about halfway through. This parody is one that will go down in infamy with those that have a strong belief in, “thou shall not…”

In short, you have knocked the socks off this great apology that Christians have used to get off the hook for so long that it is pathetic when examined by a critical mind like yours.
