[2020] Let's get Biblical
I would say
the differences between
Religions and Cults
are the people
interpreting
what is deemed to be
holy scripture
but
something
and for the most part
unformed, interrupts
my train of thought---
a voice no one else can sense
in this brain of mine; divine?
---nonetheless, grumbling to itself,
Christ, I have the lousiest editors

EXCELLENT! And so true. So much was altered and in translation, and subsequently misunderstood by readers What was Love transformed into fear. The ending is excellent. Absolutely.

Thank you! 😊
Although I hope no one gets the impression that the Narrator is Christ and God is addressing him/me - not because its blasphemy or anything like that, but simply because I'm not that incredibly handsome as he is in all of his painted photographs.

LOL! I understood it to be you were the narrator, and Love's voice wafted through your thoughts.

Dear JB,
LOL! Of all your finest this is one of your finest! Absolutely fantastic. I’m totally in agreement with your opening stanza. Brilliant. I’m glad you put in the author’s notes as well. I’ve been finding the comments between A and J-Z as interesting as his works. Awesome write. H🌷

Like Ahavati said, I too pictured Olivia Newton John for a second.
Scripture is always left open to interpretation some folks have used it for evil and personal gain (Jim Jones, Heaven's Gate for example).
Cool spill sir.

Thank you, Wally. I was raised without any religion so consider myself blessed to approach it all without any biases.

I was raised Catholic, Baptist, Pentacostal, Foursquare, Libertarian, Green Party, Repent or Burn in Hell, Democratic and all kinds. As I educated myself and saw the hipocracy most of these clubs with a cross do is prey on the weak. I distrust the gospel of prosperity (give and you shall receive) because some pastors would love to have a $3k suit, a couple of more rolexes and nicer cars. Some of these scam artists have turned something that could prosper communities and people into a money making machine.
