Premium MemberWhy Cletus O'Toole Religiously Attends Church

Most folks attend church to worship and praise the Lord as a general rule,

But this is not necessarily the case for God-fearing Deacon Cletus O'Toole.

He religiously goes to church every Sunday to take a nap (such is his nerve!),

And partake of potluck suppers and to quaff the coffee and donuts they serve!

Religiously Toxic

Religiously Toxic

I'm drowning in the 
waste of a 
compromised mind, 
its been touched by  
poisoned ideals and 
thoughts 
requesting me to 
fall in line.

Don't they know 
we came from the stars,
Who in the hell 
do these ruling rule makers
think they are.

These church politicians 
collecting God's Tithes,
folks going to church 
paying to be fed lies 
while pastors only interest is 
in what sweetness that lies 
beyond sister 
Marie's thighs

Or the priest only 
interested in the 
youthful eyes.

While all along...

Making decisions 
for us 
about who we 
should believe 
we are.

Careers to push true faith 
to the rear 
what about the truth 
do they 
fear us to know and hear,

Well my inner self 
you know 
that intuitive voice 
tells me to 
bring into existence 
this truth here!

These words 
come from somewhere
so far deep in my soul,
that I have no choice to 
believe it and follow.

Just be the 
best you that you can and 
leave the hail Marie's,
Collection plates and 
confessionals 
to the foolish man.

Thank you 
for waking up today!

Religiously Unreligious

years upon years
nailed to the cross
rebirthed, oiled, and led to shine
it's time, it's destiny
trailed
where the good book sews
your sins to your cheek
none lesser, none weak

soapbox'd again and again
remembering only then
high priestess and his court
the showers a favourite sport
it's noon and he's high
strung up by the beads
and apostolic creed

I won't go back, despite
learning the wrongs of the right
left to simmer
in hell's kitchen

there'll be nun
of the usual pretense and precipice
I'll fall
from grace
Indulge in the human race
lust more than one god
the prick, the prod
the prude, the mighty
how rude and righteous
religiously unreligious

stripped bare, torn
the covers off
the bleeding books
run away
from the money,
damn crooks
and cooks

love me for who I am
for what I do
not some tit, sans wit
nor mind to word no more than
rehearsed verse

~

come seek,
we'll find

Premium MemberI Religiously Church Shop

Oh, yes, I  have been up since 3 a.m. which means I got 6.5 hours of sleep.
Hooray! Great Day! Wonderful to get to be happy, and not even a tiny weep.
I am going to a  fabulous church I attended last week, to build myself up, and they did.
It's in another town, another state,  it's a bit of a drive, in the middle of Gladstone, Mid.
My heart leaps with joy, at the thought of this upbeat congregation that fits me like a glove.
I like going to a place that's upright and positive, and concentrates on God is Love.
We don't talk about wars or strife, or famines or Lot's Wife at this church, a magnificent community.
Can you guess where and which church I am going? 
Who knows? 
You? 
Okay. You then?
 No one?
 I'm going to Unity.

Premium MemberReligiously Iconoclastic

The iconoclast with great sarcasm,
tries to hurl the church into a chasm.
Pharisee of courts —
belching out retorts!
His religion of enthusiasm.

Religiously Confused

Never could there ever be, 
an odder concept to perceive. 
Long ago and far away, 
he lost his life to pave the way. 
It was to be the utmost act, 
selflessly upon his back. 
He did no wrong, he sayw no bad, 
yet he would die for those who had. 
While all of us still yet to come, 
would owe our lives to "God" someone
