Last Saturday night I dropped by for a few beers at Kelsey's Bar.
Archie Bunker was there, drinkin' beer and chompin' on a nickel seegar,
Expoundin' on religion and his pinko, atheist son-in-law, Meathead!
If you dared to contradict him, he'd tell you right off to drop dead!
"Edith gits her guidance from The Reverend Fletcher but the Bible is my guide!
Now you take Adam and Eve. She took a bite of apple and to God she lied!
So woman brung about the downfall of man and God got purty sore I hear,
And saith, "Clothe thyselfs in fig leaves and git the 'ell outta here!"
"Meathead said Christ was Jewish - musta been on His mother's side!
But what does that atheist know about such things - God he don't abide!
He don't believe Christ is the Son of God but the Bible says it's so!
To prove that, ever'body gits Christmas off to jubilate as we know!"
"God can do anything, buddy! He can turn your jawbone into an ass!
Don't listen to nothin' Meathead says about religion - he's so full of gas!
I say God created the world in seven days - Edith said it was six days,
'Cause He rested on the seventh - maybe so - He works in mysterious ways!"
"God don't make no mistakes - that's how He got to be ruler of the universe!
So don't go blamin' Him for your troubles - without Him things could be worse!"
My head was spinning when I left Kelsey's Bar and it wasn't because of the beer!
'Twas Archie Bunker's curious doctrinal insights that brought it on, I fear!

Why are we all so divided
With strong opinions all decided
Are we really following Jesus in our lives
Or arguing on doctrinal issues
Constantly taking sides
Jesus was a shepherd of people while on earth
Teaching love and that we all have worth
To sinners He reached out in love
Sharing wisdom from His Father above
Love was His focus, not taking sides
Arguing and fighting only divides
It is courageous to stand for what we believe
If done with hate instead of love others will flee
Jesus our Shepherd prayed for all to be one
Seeking sheep to follow Him to learn love
God's will to be done
God asks us Christians to seek more sheep for His fold
To be a light of love
Help sinners come in from a world so cold
None among us is sin without
But God loves and forgives us no doubt
If only we could embrace people like Jesus did
Not just who we think are right, rejecting those we think are wrong
Sharing God's love with people of all religions, every race
rich or poor, weak or strong
Any kingdom divided will be ruined
A house divided against itself is doomed
Why would anyone want to know Jesus unless they could see
A light of love shining through you and me
To the restless, that have met their waterloo
Be not discourage or give up on Him
Religion may not always be true
Yet you would have seen truth light so dim
Use that as a means to finding the real you
And in God you will surely come out of the blue
To the rejected, that have never been of reckon
Be not of despair for you is His coming
May be not through religion but you He beckons
Yes, with Him you won't believe what you are becoming
Claim, He is your destiny
Vanished is all your agony
To the broken, that are ones in love
With the cool breeze of reckon in state
But soon the blow seems not from above
How faith never make it come, what you await
Redemption ride still have room for you
Won't it be nice being one out of the few
To the blue, that never seems to know joy
Like how love fades into becoming hate
That you view how beautiful it could be to enjoy
Living large in a well furnished estate
Get to know, you are never out of plan
That you shall feel warm during harmattan
Still shouting all about the Good News across region
Listen to its whistle blow but not necessarily through the doctrine of religion
Save one, save all dying souls in the hand of doctrinal forces
Blinded by what human systematically endorses
Religious dogma, be it any faith,
any handed down belief,
any once sincere doctrine
now has but one purpose
and that is to
hide God from yourself.
By doing so
it controls your freedom
of self-inquiry,
demands that your blind faith
is better than seeing, than knowing.
Religion wants you to seek
but never find,
to follow a ritualistic way
and be awed by the path ahead
but never take that path.
All religions have great truths in them,
but the greatest truths are deliberately buried
too deep for the faithful to find.
until they come to see
that crumbling wall around their own power of knowing,
That those notions of hell and sin
are a religiosity created only by fear.
If you have to,
respectfully, reverentially,
break that doctrinal wall down,
and not one ancient brick at a time
but in one hammer blow
of adamantine of insight.
They were accounted for,
they were officially dead,
but the alarming fact was
that large numbers of the dead
had gone missing.
Occasionally, still pinging cellphones
were found in Hades, Purgatory, and
other Bardo states.
Olympus was drunkenly silent,
as were almost all of the seven heavens.
In nirvana,
the footwear of some of the deceased,
had been left in a pile awaiting a divine fire,
footprints were seen
as if waiting for a cooling wash
in the fountain of everlasting life.
The missing had presumably
transported themselves
to some less boneheaded ideas
of the life after, one not yet imagined
by any dogmatic priesthood.
God was accused of not packaging
the deceased properly.
However the missing were never found
having discovered their own way out
of all that doctrinal,
inconsequential madness.
Descendent of proto humans
dumbfounded, mystified, stupefied, et cetera
despite plethora of technological trappings,
whereby world wide web virtually linkedin
allowing, enabling, and providing
instantaneous electronic feedback,
I still experience dearth
of mental, psychological and social
meaningfulness amidst cerebral chaos
courtesy healthy mailer daemons
occupying sixty plus shades of gray matter
more valuable then any terrain
designated as Silicon Valley or Wall Street
constituting nexus of brain power,
where metaphysical thoughts proliferate
and ponder such basic thought
such as who art yours truly
what (I declare)
will constitute date with death
and where will corporeal flesh
and spirit separately journey?
Since time immemorial
millennium generations
happenstance bestowed *****sapiens
ability to become self aware
double edged figurative sword
allowing, enabling, providing...
forebears of yesteryear
to marvel at life, and
reckon with death,
which mixed blessing
wrestling with living and dying
also confronts man/womankind
during twenty first century
said inscrutable dilemma,
albeit reconciling mortality
linkedin with consciousness
heightened, tested, under_scored...
particularly at demise dearly departed
inadvertently affect
upon surviving family members
hijacking, offsetting, upending...
fracturing emotional composure
prompting immediate questions
regarding purposefulness living
nee, being born essentially to die
predestined to pass away
identical fate decreed upon
all animals and plants
bolstered by believing deity
foreordained every creature
past, present, and future,
yet most pronounceable afflicting
non denominational, non
religious, non sectarian
case in point Unitarian,
vis a vis visa versa secular humanists,
especially nonsensical poet wannabe
riddled with perplexity
about nature of being alive
wondering what explains
essence constituting individual fluke
finding meaning scuttling
across world wide web
hither and yon, to and fro
dumbfounded at futility
absolute zero adequate answers
(again, unless one subscribes
to codified doctrinal dogma
i.e. religion, faith, creed...)
I attest as garden variety primate
baffled, flummoxed, nonplussed...

Not so TREU, will monopolise through and though
It will be better, if you could forget about your
And the long two weeks' that broke who..?
Maybe me? Or you? What can people do?
Well Gandi did peaceful non compliance i'll bet
That reality is not being taught to children today
By sociialist teaching and their doctrinal apprentice's
Or you can choose to euthanise, its a slanted word
Situation that echoes a term known as genocide
There is also the word infantacide, there are phobias
And misnomers so theres plenty coming right at
You.' (Reality tv should amuse) anethesise you mind
In a world that were'e told is kind? And be sure to say
Take care ' Treat others with respect, let the authoritys
Break their necks; or pepper spray any 75 year olds in
Their way.!
Its only double standards if you don't look the other
Way... Deau.)
