Hi Rumple, Here's another one you might recognize. Pardon the extra
spacing, but whenever I copy a "word" document and paste it to a
newsgroup post. that happens. I have never figured out how to fix it.
ARTIST: Crosby, Stills, Nash and maybe YoungTITLE: Cathedral [By Graham
Nash] [...]
Here's on from the late 1980s, written by Andy Partridge of British pop-
rock-"new wave" band XTC:
Dear god,
Hope you got the letter,
And I pray you can make it better down here.
I dont mean a big reduction in the price of beer,
But all the people that you made in your image,
See them starving on their feet,
cause they dont get enough to eat
From god,
I cant believe in you.
Dear god,
Sorry to disturb you,
But I feel that I should be heard loud and clear.
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears,
And all the people that you made in your image,
See them fighting in the street,
cause they cant make opinions meet,
About god,
I cant believe in you.
Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too!
Dear god,
Dont know if you noticed,
But your name is on a lot of quotes in this book.
Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,
And all the people that you made in your image,
Still believing that junk is true.
Well I know it aint and so do you,
Dear god,
I cant believe in,
I dont believe in,
I wont believe in heaven and hell.
No saints, no sinners,
No devil as well.
No pearly gates, no thorny crown.
Youre always letting us humans down.
The wars you bring, the babes you drown.
Those lost at sea and never found,
And its the same the whole world round.
The hurt I see helps to compound,
That the father, son and holy ghost,
Is just somebodys unholy hoax,
And if youre up there youll perceive,
That my hearts here upon my sleeve.
If theres one thing I dont believe in...
Its you,
Dear god.
He could have spared himself a lot of agony. The
idea of "God", so far from being any help at all in
explaining existence, just adds a bizarre complication
for no good reason and with not a shred of evidence.
Q: Why do frost patterns form on a windowpane?
A1: God did it, because somebody must
have done it, obviously. Ice doesn't
form such patterns without a
guiding hand.
A2: The electrical forces in the atoms
and the substrate of the window
pane guide the formation of the
crystals along a path of least
resistance, as naturally as water
flowing downhill.
Which answer is correct?
