How Strange It Is

How strange it is, I think, that message brought
should bring no thing but strife and ignorance.
When Christ did speak, he spoke of love and peace,
but now, his words, among the masses, twist
and turn to "God hates fags" and loveless thoughts.

People hear what they want to hear. You can convince them the sky is green and they'll go up there searching for dollar bills. Christ did speak only of what you said, the rest was invented in his name. but he was silenced pretty quickly after he spoke. The best part about him is that he still spoke of what you said as he was being silenced. It takes quite a will to fully love your killer as he's killing you.
