To the "Christians"
By Francis Adams
Take, then, your paltry Christ,
Your gentleman God.
We want the carpenter's son,
With his saw and hod.
We want the man who loved
The poor and the oppressed.
Who rebuked the Rich man and King
And the Scribe and the Priest.
We want the Galilean
Who knew cross and rod.
It's your "good taste"
that prefers
A bastard "God"!
"Nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man." Mahatma Gandhi
I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.--Mother Teresa
An eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind. - Gandhi
"It is for us the living...to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us --...that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." -Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address
"...and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" -Micah 6:8
