The Argument

Half your time is arguing,
that God does not exist.
The other time, when good for you,
your name is on his list.

Yes it's true that God is love,
and he loves you despite your sin.
But don't use his name in vain,
if you don't believe in him.

It's also true that sin is sin,
but the goal is to abstain.
Though he loves you, he's not happy,
with your lack of refrain.

Though it thrills my heart to see, 
the times you do believe.
Consider his book from front to back,
Excerpts tend to mislead.
