Ranting

The same church that “saves” drives children into the streets.
Selling their bodies, to eat the slime that spills from the TV screen.
Impaled on needles to kill the pain and hide their church born fear.
Proudly wearing their brand name shackles...unwitting manikins.
Stripping them of their last fragments of individuality.
Judge your gingerbread children and twist them into the ideal plastic pose.
Claim their souls in the name of salvation, and toss away the earthly package
Teach them to shame their perfectly molded bodies
Teach them to respect death and fear life
Preach to them about Independence and punish their defiance.
Teach me all that you have learned, yet still... I am not grateful.

Certainly is a rant! a well formed/stated rant, too. It's sounds like 'the church of the cookie-cutter syndrome' not scriptural at all, for sure.

Welcome, I can see that ANY place can be called a church. And at so many times in the young's lives they can't make a decission, but only follow the others. It is easier...
Thank you for sharing this. ME

Ok, this surely doesn't belong on page 3. . .

I like this, it's got a lot of good ideas in it. . . I'm wondering though if there should be more to it. . . you know??? I love the comparisons and the pictures that you show. . . it's definitely a rant, and one that you could expand to show oh so much more. . .

Great job and welcome, I'm sure that you'll like it here. . . can't wait to see more from you!!!!
