Bathwater




+

Religion is the ultimate counterfeit of God

 Seemingly innocuous
Sometimes attractive
But always a Trap

Selling the tasty treat of Belonging
Which our Souls so crave
Which is meant to be found in God
Not rituals and regulations
It is a sideline
A deadly detour
Derailing us
Distracting us
From
Deity

Well meaning atheists
and waylayed agnostics
were right to reject 
this ersatz nonsense,
In their intelligence they saw it
for what it was
Failing only to compartmentalize
the counterfeit from the Creator

Thus the Baby
Born in the manger
Got thrown out
with the 
Bathwater
Leaving
Otherwise
Wise men
Defrauded

+

Counterfeit--made in exact imitation of something valuable or important with the intention to deceive or defraud.

There is a road inside of you
Inside of me there is one too
No stumbling pilgrim in the dark
The road to Zion's in your heart -Petra lyrics

Hello, old friend. It's been a long time. I am thinking of you and hope you are well.

I wrote this about two years ago and thought I would send it to you:

I don't know how you will feel about a note from me, but... the Lord bless you and keep you. And give you peace.
