#evangelical
I've learned the facts, and met the Truth and put my faith in Him. I have the tracts, and feel the urge to go out and evangelize. But without a car, or a bicycle I'm a bit limited right now. Though there's always a way to get the Word out, even at home, one can figure out how. My ministry might not be of huge size but His Word never returns void. So I try to be patient, and not be annoyed. But I'm a relatively isolated fellow, and have a photographer's eye, so I feel alone in life though I know I'm not. And miss the times I used to go, on a whim, to a particular place that I had sighted earlier and planned to later take a special trip and photograph the awesome beauty. I don't understand how anyone could not realize that the universe (one-word) was spoken into existence by our Creator. But not everyone has eyes to see. I appreciate His creation, and often wish I had someone around who shares my interests. But the things that I try to accomplish often fail, so I'm just waiting on Him. If it be what He wills for me...that, I would love. But I've learned that His timing is conceived up above. So I just hang in there and listen to Him. Resting in the knowledge that in Christ we win.

In Christ We Win
It's funny you think heaven will let you in, When all you've done is blame the sin, Did He never say, "Love Thy Neighbor"? I beg of you to do me one little favor. Pull out your wholly rotten teeth, Cut off your boot-licking tongue, Cram your throat full with holy script, And stitch up your quivering God-fearing lips. Take just one swing, fellow sinner, It'll just give me another good excuse, With a few good kicks, I'll curb-stomp you, Straight to Hell 'cause you burnt my fuse. Pull out your wholly rotten teeth, Cut off your boot-licking tongue, Cram your throat full with holy script, And stitch up your quivering God-fearing lips. I don't fear your guns, I just fear for you, No, I don't fear your guns, I'll count to three, we'll have some fun.

Holy Cannoli!?
You broadcast your faith Singing praises in your posts But is that how it really goes? Is faith really your focus; your motivation For getting drunk and partying With evangelical consistence Is God lighting up your life As you light up a blunt Faith is just your innocent front Don't let yourself believe we fall for your facade We know what you really do and so does God

See?
I swear to a God that does not exist That I would never lie to you This art is my body and my blood Your Jesus would never have given to you My sickness and my depth A tomb of blackened whispers Screams of death Drowning lungs in a fit of smoke My words won't rescue They'll grab you by the throat I care not When angels meet their fate Intrinsic to a world that loves to hate Despair is quite a pleasure For a ********* to create

Let Go and Let God (Go straight to hell)
Behold the right-wing evangelicals. A boisterous, worshipping horde. Waving their Bibles and shouting out praise. Personal friends with the Lord! Have they read the Bible? Do they understand the words and message within? I'd have to say no, for they support Trump - A ****** example of sin! Does Trump follow Christ? Does he help the sick? Does he sacrifice for the poor? Is he on the side of the marginalized? Does he do all he can to end war? Does Trump preach forgiveness? Is he full of love? Would he never cast the first stone? Is he kind? Is he humble and gentle and wise? His failings and sins does he own? And yet all of these Christians who claim to be godly, will give it all up in a flash. To parrot Trump's hateful, divisive World view, and shower him with praise and their cash! On Old Testament tribalist hatred, evangelicals strongly agree, but to bolster their dogma, they've taken the Christ and removed him from Christianity. As a child, I was brought up religious, but I soon learned it wasn't for me; For when I see religious folks worshipping Trump, I see nothing... but hypocrisy.
