God Is A Dick
The Lord giveth and the lord taketh away
I was dragged up on that shit
Kinda made me think that god was a dick
My bike got stolen when I was 10
Apparently god had a hand in that
I remember at 16 losing my wage packet
Apparently god was amused I had no money
He gave it then took it away
He's been doing that all my life
From toys to money
From friends to my parent sanity
From bikes to girlfriends
From jobs to marriage
From fidelity to concert tickets
From DVD's to my one true love
From a whole heart to a broken one
Why he has given me the life of Job
I have no clear ideas: Why the Indian giver?
Does he get some perverted pleasure
Out of causing me pain and grief
The Lord works in mysterious ways?
Really?
There is nothing mysterious about
acting like a dick

That shit you were dragged through was wrong.
That verse is the most misused verse of the bible. Job took back everything he said, including God giveth and taketh away, at the end by saying:
"Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes."
I have never understood why people take things out of context so much. I guess it suits their personal agendas.
The shit you were dragged through was wrong. Period. Also, while I'm at it, keep in mind that we can only choose who we love, not who we fall in love with. The heart has a mind of its own regardless of what we want.

LOL on that basis all the UK churches have also got it wrong as that verse is used at almost every funeral. That makes me smile :-)))))
as for love - there is like, love and real love when true love is one sided then only one party gets severely damaged regardless of philosophy.
Thank you for your wise words :-)))))

They're absolutely wrong. If he took back his own words, no one else has a right to quote him out of context. But still. . .they do. 😕

Hearing you loud and clear, my friend. I would say though, don't be too quick to dismiss the things you do have. And I haven't forgotten about the cookies. Still drawing the line at haggis though. Much love, my friend, and endless hugs. :-)

Blasphemous rumours
Depeche Mode... Remember them?
Rang through my head reading this...
"And when I die, I expect to find him laughing."
All of that is to say..
"Solid write"

I take your point. Life in a self-organising multiverse is really tricky - cause and effect almost impossible to determine - and God a figment of our imaginations. Not easy. Nice to you still 'at work', David. :)
