Ogre In the Sky (That’s Not Me!)
You picture Me as an Ogre in the sky
who enjoys watching innocent people die
You think I am some sort of tyrant who
will torture those who won’t do all I want them to
but that’s not Me. No, that’s not Me.
You blame Me for the folks who die in scores
of hunger, sicknesses, disasters, countless wars
Cause, after all, you say, if I am God,
why don’t I make all of this madness stop
But that’s not up to Me, it’s not up to Me.
Cause have one fair look around:
food and aid would abound
and it’s surely not I
Who cause the drums of war to sound
You picture Me as this old, mean, unfair Guy
Who blesses all the rich and lets poor people die
Who smiles on those who neatly go to church
and frowns on those who question, doubt and search
but that’s not Me, no that’s not Me
Cause all I am and all I’ve always been
is Love and love alone, though that’s not what you’ve seen
So give Me a chance and just take out the trash
That clutters up your mind & let Me show you that
that’s just not Me, no, that’s not Me
Cause have one fair look around:
All that you need abounds
And if you give it a try
You’ll find what changes you’ll evoke by sharing some of what you’ve found
You picture Me as an Ogre in the sky
who enjoys watching innocent people die
You think I am some sort of tyrant who
will torture those who won’t do all I want them to
but that’s not Me. No, that’s not Me.

THE AMERIKAN WAY
Kick-Ass Anti-War song downloadable for free at http://www.nubeat.org/Audio/RP/01%20Amerikan%20Way.mp3
Lyrics:
Well, (Bm)stars ‘n’ stripes are flying
Over distant, battered lands.
Politicians lyin’,
Wavin’ peace signs with their hands.
Well, I’d like to see them tryin’
To explain it to the man
Who (D)lost everything he (A)loves & owns,
And (G)that’s how the seeds of (A#)hate are sown.
In (Bm)history to headlines to (D7)Hollywood
This (G)much I say is (A#)understood …
Chorus 1
(D)War is the (A)Amerikan way!
(G)Hear her cannons roar, it’s gonna rico(F)chet!
(D)War is the (A)Amerikan way!
(G)See her missiles soar, see her heart de(F)cayin’.
(Bm)
Verse 2
And I can(Bm)not resist the feelin’
That there’s a number to her days,
And to all the death she’s dealin’
In a thousand different ways.
In (D)history, headlines, (A)Hollywood
This (G)much I say is (A#)understood,
It’s (Bm)coming right back (D7)down on her (G)head,
The skies a(A#)bove her turn to red. I said …
Chorus 2
(D)War is the (A)Amerikan way!
(G)Hear her cannons roar, it’s gonna rico(F)chet!
(D)War is the (A)Amerikan way!
(G)See her missiles soar, see her heart de(F)cayin’.
(D)War is the Amerikan way!
She’s (G)racing swiftly for her Judgment Day, sad to (F)say.
Refrain 1
(A#)Sad (C)to (Dm)say, (A#)that’s (C)their (D7)way.
(A#)Sad (C)to (Dm)say, (A#)that’s (C)their (D7)way,
(Bm)That’s their way.
Verse 3
(Bm)Stars & stripes are flyin’
Over (G)rubble & debris,
As the (Bm)sun sets on the dying in a (G)land that used to be free.
But (D)oh, by dawn’s ve(A)ry early light,
(G)They’re saying, “More bombs (A#)are gonna make it right.
(Bm)Why stay calm & (D7)patient?” Their tradition says (G)fight.
A(A#)bomination in God’s sight.
Chorus 3
(D)War is the (A)Amerikan way!
(G)Hear her cannons roar, [Roar!] (F)
(D)War is the (A)Amerikan way!
(G)See her missiles soar, see her heart de(F)cayin’. Sayin’

God Is a Verb»
The revelation that God is a verb, as laid out in the 14th chapter of “The Shack,” and evidently based on a quote by Buckminster Fuller, lends new meaning to the famous opening phrase of the Gospel of John, “In the beginning was the Word.”
It makes sense in the light of the reference to God’s old and Hebrew name (Jehova, Jahwe or Jah) meaning “I am…”
Maybe that’s the reason why so many people who claim to be Christians or believers lack all the evidence of their discipleship in their sample: they don’t do God. They lack the doing part of God. They may think they have God wrapped up in a neat little package like one of those Christmas presents under their trees, and the concept of God all figured out in the cube on top of their necks, and keep Him tightly locked up inside that big house they built for Him for 25.000.000 bucks, but the rest of the world still refuses to believe one word they’re saying when they open their mouths and talk about God, because talking seems to be the only action and verb in their religion…
They haven’t even yet begun to love.
God is not something you can stick in a box and say, “It’s MINE!” It’s something you either do or… forget it!
It’s what determines whether our lives are a foretaste of Heaven, or a selfish, Sisyphus-like existence of hell on earth.- 2 years ago

The Hideous God»
Awesome excerpts from the book discussion of “The Misunderstood God” by Wayne Jacobsen, Brad Cummings and the book author Darin Hufford.
While some folks may find some of the statements made a bit harsh or odd, you’ll actually find them to be true, nonetheless…
