God and Country (Haiku) by dougsoderstrom

Prayers to Jesus, Flags a waving, Missiles launched from pews.

i think you're statement about the evil of islam and christianity is a little off. religion tends to cause problems only for "rival" religions. look at Hinduism, for example. I'd bet that the muslims in pakistan would say that hinduism is history's most oppressive religion, simply sue to circumstance. the action/reaction relationship between religious beliefs tends to cause the rub. obviously, as they say, god has started more war than man, but war would roll without god, too.

and being like Jesus has nothing to do with religion. as you're well aware, the church has kept under wraps most of the stuff Jesus had said about formal "religion" because he said you don't need it. the whole "look at a stone, cut into a piece of wood...I am there" scared the establishment into burying it. so feel free to both pull away from religion and mold yourself after Jesus.

about your haikus. i seriously couldn't care less about the form they take. i'm just busting balls.
