            CHRISTIANITY

     "Jesus said, 'Men think, perhaps, that it is peace which I have come 
     to cast upon the world.  They do not know that it is dissension which 
     I have come to cast upon the earth: fire, sword, and war.'"

                                  The Gospel of Thomas, Saying 16

One man has had more effect on 
humanity than any other
   (not Charlemagne
   not Henry
   not Shakespeare
   but Jesus Christ).
Sing the praises of
   a simple carpenter
   a common criminal
One called King of the Jews (but he wasn't),
   as he was crucified (he rose from the dead).

Wars were fought (those heathen infidels)
   in His Name (the Father).
Heretics were burned (witches and women too)
   in His Name (the Son).
Intolerance was tolerated (encouraged)
   in His Name (the Holy Ghost).

Opportunists exploit the believers
   fancy houses (gold bathroom fixtures),
   fancy women (expensive whores),
   fancy surgery (more perfect than you).
Then they beg our forgiveness and like the sheep we are (we believe we're 
                                                          sinners)
We forgive and give more (after all, they're only human not divine).


Have fun kiddies!  

BTW, that's supposed to be one line there (darned ASCII).
