well, i haven't been able to get the creative juices flowing, so i'm putting off my promised 'agnostic manifesto' for another day. in the meantime...i've said it before & i'll say it again: anything i'm feeling or thinking can be expressed in other people's song lyrics.
so here you go...

'dear god
hope you got the letter and
i pray
you can make it better down here
i don't need a big reduction in the price of beer
but all the people that you made in your image
see them starving on thier feet
cuz they don't get enough to eat
from god
i can't believe in you
dear god
sorry to disturb you but
i feel
that i should be heard loud & clear
we all need a big reduction in amount of tears
and all the people that you made in your image
see them fighting in the street
cuz they can't make opinions meet
about god
i can't believe in you
did you make disease
and the diamond blue
did you make mankind
after we made you
and the devil too
dear god
don't know if you've noticed but
your name
is on alot of quotes in this book
us crazy humans wrote it you should take a look
and all the people that you made in your image
still believin' that junk is true
but i know it ain't & so do you
dear god
i can't believe in
i don't believe in
i won't believe in heaven & hell
no saints no sinners no devil as well
no pearly gates no thorny crown
you're always letting us humans down
the wars you bring the babes you drown
those lost at sea & never found
it's all the same the whole world round
the hurt i see helps to compound
the father son the holy ghost
that's just somebody's unholy host
and if you're out there you'll percieve
that my heart's here upon my sleeve
if there's one thing i don't believe in
it's you
dear god'
