The Laughter of the Gods

Methinks there are too many GODS One inside each head Unable to agree on much That is until they're dead Some claim just one Yet can't agree On how that ONE Sees you and me Yet others herd With twisted texts Of humble voices Loudly flexed There are those Who have not one Yet gather Sunday's Just for fun The GODS sit rollicking In laughter Their baying sheep Put out to pasture John G.

anyway, we can't fight our backgrounds. I have the christian version deeply embedded in me, I do not know much of any other way to do contests that want us to give our feelings on God.

This is great satire, John. I know that many say they believe in God , and I certainly believe in a great Creator. It just makes so much sense. but to go around thinking one's own version of God or religion has to be THE only right one just rubs me the wrong way. Love this, thanks for my placement in your last contest.
