Live (Lyric) by Luv2write

We can live for every moment We can die for what we love We can dream of sunny days to come And what awaits us up above We can plan our futures to a 't' We can live with hope to share We can imagine Heaven's pearly gates And what life will be like there We can strive for every goal we have We can reach for distant stars We can long for what we do not have And what will never be ours We can hope for the best in all we do We can deal with what life gives We can be free in knowing when we die Forever in Christ we'll live

what a crock. I was raised a hardcore fundamentalist christian, leaving it was far far harder emotionally than staying. I was abandoning my family, my community.

But stuff like Numbers 31 and Psalm 137 (which I came across when I was 16) just don't cut it with me. Even if he is real, I won't serve a god who tells his followers to do such things.

Would you, really, Luv2write? Have you ever read Numbers 31? Or Joshua? Read Numbers 31 and make it into a story, dramatize it in your head, from the point of view of one of the 32,000 Midianite virgin girls divvied up among the Israelite men after they had slaughtered everyone she'd ever known. How would she feel about god? I DARE you to read Numbers 31 and make a vivid story of it in your head. Your god ordered that done.
