I was sitting on my cloud
Just thinking about religion,
God swept by,
Saw me and came back.
“Can I sit with you?” he asked,
“It’s allegedly a free heaven,
So you can do what you like!”
“You’re in a bad mood” he said,
“So would you be” I replied,
“My loved one is ill,
We go to Church to pray for her,
You know the Christian way,
But nothing happens,
She just gets worse”
“Well it could be lies” He said,
“What do you mean lies” I asked,
“Do you believe in God?” he asked,
“Of course I do;
Otherwise I wouldn’t be speaking to you!”
“Yes that’s right,
You know I exist,
But I am Your God,
Your Spirit”
“Yes, that goes without saying,
I know you are there
And I will be with you until the end”
“Have I ever promised you anything
Anything to help you?” he said
“No your haven’t,
You will be with me
And I with you,
But nothing else has been promised,
Just us being as one forever”
“There you are then,
It is not me that is the problem,
It is the belief that the Christian God,
The father of Jesus can help you”
“So Christianity in its power to help all
Is a myth?”
“Yes, it is a myth created by men,
You know those men who believe,
Believe that there is money in it,
Money in it for them”.
“I suppose that you are right,
All the money that the Church has
They keep for themselves
To buy treasures
Allegedly for the worship of you!”
“I don’t want treasures
I want reality,
As you now realise
Money and power lead to distress,
Lead to greed,,
Lead to anger
Lead to war”.
“So what should I do?” I asked,
“That’s up to you” he said
“But one way would be to leave,
Leave the idea that Christianity
Or any man contrived religions are worthy,
Worthy of your support,
And step into a new world,
A new world of reality”
“Now that’s an idea!” I replied,
“Reality for all would work”.
“Only if those in power let it”.
God replied as he sailed away.
