I'm willing to let the whole argument, and history, go. I'm willing to forget how Christianity laid waste to dozens of cultures, how they enslaved American Indians and Mexicans to build their missions. I'll even let go of the fact that they raised me up in their church, allowed me to have my own music ministry, then smacked me down because "that rock and roll beat comes straight from the depths of hell" even though they taught me that God works in mysterious ways. And I'll forget how my pastor had an affair with a woman in the church, and how his wife tried to commit suicide. Silly humans. It's no wonder I'm now agnostic.

Won't you help me Mr. Jesus, won't you help me if you can. When you see this world we live in, do you still believe in Man? ~ Black Sabbath

But all that aside, I'll stop telling my views on the subject when others stop trying to force me to believe, to accept, and to honor their beliefs. To make laws, change laws, or to amend our Constitution based on a religious belief of ANY religion, is just wrong. No one is forcing Christians to have abortions or to marry gay people, yet they feel it's their duty to make sure everyone adheres to their beliefs in this regard. God gave us free will, and they think they are better or smarter than God so they are going to force his laws upon us all. Bullshit. The whole reason for us being here, according to THEIR Bible, is for us to come to God's ways on our own, of our own free will, or not come at all. They want to take away a lot of choices... God given or otherwise. And it's wrong, wrong, wrong!


Thrill of it All

Inclination of direction, walk the turned and twisted rift
With the children of creation futuristic dreams we sift
Clutching violently we whisper with a liquefying cry
Any deadly final answers that are surely doomed to die
Won't you help me Mr. Jesus, won't you tell me if you can?
When you see this world we live in, do you still believe in Man?
If my songs become my freedom, and my freedom turns to gold
Then I'll ask the final question, if the answer could be sold
Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it
'Cause I've got no reason to lie, yeah
Forget your problems that don't even exist
And I'll show you a way to get high, oh yeah
Oh yeah!
So come along, you know you matter to me
Remember freedom is not hard to find, yeah
Time to stop all your messing around
Don't you think that I know my own mind, oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Why can't you believe, it's not here to perceive
Do you always have to be told, yeah
For you have been taught that if your mind has been bought
Life's entire answer was sold, oh yeah
Oh yeah!



Again, everything you ever needed to know about life can be found in the rock and in the roll.
