It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
It came upon a midnight clear
A thought so incredibly bold
I realized I’d been taken in
By all that I had been told
I looked at all the religious strife
The conflicts in every land
And suddenly it was clear to me
That god was made by man
For only man could make a god
As cruel and vindictive as he
And if you doubt what I’m saying here
Just read the Bible and see
This god of mercy this god of love
Is childish and vengeful and cruel
He acts a lot like a kid I knew
The bully in my old school
The Bible hardly the word of god
Was written with mortal hand
It’s filled with fables and myth and lies
To comfort primitive man
Peace on the Earth will never come
Until we take a stand
Quit praising gods that don’t exist
And help our fellow man
words by Jerry Phillips
Yeah, how come the gods always have human personality traits? That was okay when people had lots of gods, because then they could be used as object lessons. The problem is these “one and only” gods. Now, if your god is cranky and vindictive, that’s it. You can’t analyze its behavior to learn something, you just have to show how grateful you are. Gods are bad enough, but mono-gods are the worst.

I now know how to get a comment from rjb. Mention dogs in my blogs.
either way is true, god make us in the image of him, or we made the God in the image of us.

What you have said in twenty five words or less, people write tons and tons of books about. I like the short version best.
Simple happiness in life is always the hardest fact we could accept in life I guess, the same to the simple words =).
