People tell me to have faith in you, but how can I? They ask me to follow your word, but I've never heard your voice. They say the bible is your living word, but that's a lie. Christianity is broken into factions who all argue what the true meaning of the bible is. There are groups who belive some books are, and some are not, the word of God.

The devine word of God, passed on by a man, is no longer devine. It's corrupted in the translation. No man has a closer connection to God than any other. God, if you created all things, how then could you care for any one thing above any other? Are we all not the same star-stuff? Do you weep for a dying planet? Do you grieve over the destruction of an atom? Or am I to believe the crap people spew about man, that of all things in existance, we hold a special place in your heart, over all the rest of the universe? And next year the church will change it's mind. Galelio was right. The Earth is not the center of the Solar System.

Please! Adam may have sinned in eating from the tree of knowlege, but I am the one paying for it. I don't buy that! There is no original sin. Haven't we come far enough to let go of animal sacrifice? Why then do you require blood? The blood of the lamb, the blood of Christ. And Christianity calls Wicca a heathen, pagan religion! Pull the plank from your eye!

God, speak to me! The people that profess to be your shepherds are fools! The herd is full of the nieve followers being led by idiots to their destruction! Lemmings! I will no longer ask ANYONE what you wish of me! If you want me to hear YOUR word, speak to me directly.

Is my path to salvation different than others'? Is that the riddle you pose by your silence? Are the people who profess to be your followers hearing the words but missing the song? How can one small group be so egotistical to believe that THEY, of all of humanity, are the sole people who shall pass through heaven's gate?

God, so far, all I hear from you is silence.
