Holy Water's Magical Elixir

Hallelujah, born again chapels scheming, mankind reeling in holy water's baptism of wizardly elixir postulating an all consuming reverence, rejuvenated myths of deiform fears as reinvented nature flows in lickety split's Latin discombobulation Aggrandizement randomly written in santuary's intensly scripted blather increasing histrionics' translations, 'pon bled origins' of original sin Amen's passed the poison apple mid shrines' overflowing baskets of coined redemption Tilt, you go to that fantasy in the sky Hallelujah, born again wherefrom archangels' herald lightworks, otherwise Beelzebub will gladly impose his heated grasp in welcoming you warmly to a dark side of the fried fray, difference in ashes' revival supposedly are prayer & the almighty dollar, naught to do with compassion & good will towards men, ailing old frail women nor starving children, falling prey to greener hard currency's salivating salvation priestly entitled behaviors' disconcertingly repugnance, who knew...gospel's chapter & functional verse could be so dastardly rendered in man's higher power of accommodated perversions

I don't disagree, religion is without question a business at their best and sometimes scams, but it is difficult to deny the piousness of many religious devotees. They may very well agree that their religion is not perfect, yet, they remain a part of it, perhaps, in hope they can make it better.

Wow, very deep and steeped with meaning and a message that speaks very loudly. I get where this is going and if I am correct, I agree...religion has become nothing more than a business to some, it is okay to believe and live your life as you feel it should be, but for those who hide behind the collection plate, profits fuel the faith.

Thanks for getting this Chris. Churches are the largest conglomerated corporations, with unending powers and ties to gov't, etc. and never liable for any of their corruptible practices, for shame, God has to be reeling.
