Behind the Burning Bush

Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live
As God blessed them all with love to give
Allow them a voice
And men lose free choice
And no one wants that alternative!

Yes! Imagine if the god of the Middle East required men to love, honour and obey their spouse! Aloha!

Free choice is the greatest gift allowed to man by God and perhaps the one that lands him in the most dire situations too ....

And the one gift mankind is most unwilling to share with others! Please remember Mahsa Amini, and support the rights of women! Aloha!

Love it Rico! :-) Have you read my poem "Little Witch?"

Yes, and enjoyed. It is interesting to note that, despite the Inquisition, no god ruled, "Thou shalt not suffer a warlock to live!" Aloha!

rico - if men could lose free choice, the supreme court would act very differently...

I don't know about "act", but they would certainly think differently! Aloha!

People choose their gods with the same care they choose a president? I would never support a god who ranks people by sex, nor parentage, nor one who creates a Model A son but continues making Model T sons to admire the Model A son! People should choose a god with a better plan than that! Aloha!

It is truly absurd for anyone to believe a god would make choices by sex, when twigs and tea leaves tremble with the Holy Spirit! Any religion preaching superiority clearly lacks divinity! Aloha!
