Use very rarely the Word "GOD"!
Use very rarely the word "God"!
The ineffable reality,
Some people speak this word slip-shod,
So careless and routinely.
When pious people speak of God,
An idol t ?is they have in mind,
That fits their ego's favored spot,-
A grandpa, very old and kind.
Pray use the word "God" cautiously!
And preferably on your knees,
Unfathomable mystery,
Can not spoken of with ease.
But light a lamp, and keep it lit,
And dwell in awesome emptiness,-
Before the One beyond your wit,
Ineffably mysterious.
Too great a familiarity
Voiced by some pious folk devout
Slights His inscrutability,-
Turns Him an Idol for the crowd.
The closest and the most remote,
All-Other, and yet intimate,
Superabundance and a naught,
That wants to share and correlate.
Familiar and all unknown,
A Hidden Lord He is,
Sustaining night, and nurturing dawn,
Embracing zenith and abyss
An ocean infinite and still,
Yet Source of all vitality,
Totality that yet can fill
The All with creativity.
So far off and so close at hand,
Much closer than I am to me,
Is immanent and transcendent
Ineffable a mystery.
Thus light a candle, - tend it's flame
Or contemplate the naught,
When daring to pronounce the name
And utter the word "God".
Elizabeth Dandy
Honestly you stupid Christians are the problem of the world. I say God's name in vain whenever the fuck I want to, maybe God should do something if he wants some respect
