1. This is beautiful. Let us not be indifferent and make a difference. |

4. He must like you a lot. |
|
Or at least more than all the kids who die of starvation, praying for some food. Or all the women who pray not to be raped, but are raped anyway. Or the millions who die slowly from a painful disease, praying for a cure.
Thank goodness you're more special than them.

10. Is the God that answered your prayer the same that answered GWB's prayers? |

6. Interesting sentiments in the song |
|
but why, exactly, do you need God for those things? Just don't have those attitudes. We all have the internal strength for that, don't we?

7. Is there no poetry in your life? |
|
Or is metaphorical language something you cannot grasp?

I'm an English teacher. So God is metaphoric in that song? Didn't see it being presented that way. And as poetry, it's tripe. Not even close to Whitman, Eliot, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Dickinson, could name hundreds more that are better.

9. Oh, I can grasp metaphorical language |
|
but when that same metaphorical language is used to control, enslave, kill and convert in the name of the metaphorical god, THEN I have a problem. Did god metaphorically create the Skype program you used to talk to Beijing?
