Jesus

Jesus died upon the cross
in plenty of company
a regular Calvary Hill Convention
his difference was he didn't sin
he was the only one who couldn't

taking on everyone else's sins
would have killed any one of us
long before
we had to drag our cross
up the hill

God pumped him full of spiritual steroids
so he could take it
so we could all make it
or at least fake it

others take the sinful music of the masses
circumcise it to make it clean
so the youth will know Jesus is cool
not square

be on the lookout for fish symbols on mini-vans
they'll cut you off
on their way to praise God
or picking up supplies at Walmart
for the church picnic

the same church can produce nuns
to collect blood in baby jars
to hurl at nuclear missile silos

the same church can protect priests
to take advantage of children
to satisfy their own carnal needs

some become TV stars
where they can start their own soap box
soap operas
Pat urges a take out Venezuelan
and I don't mean dinner
"launching pad for communist infiltration"

Jesus did give away all of that free fish and bread.
I'd add him to your hit list.

even ultimate fighters
who bloody each other into submission
inside a steel cage
pray for salvation first

others believe in families 1st
certainly better to have felons
convicted wife beaters, rapists, and pedophiles
reunite with the ones they love
than to allow homosexuals
to marry or adopt

others fear the brainwashing
of public schools
where they are taught
men come from monkeys not God

They say the science is bad
creation should have equal footing
give our kids the choice

a few christians will even stand behind
their beliefs about biologists
so sick children can have
a more direct path to God

Bulldog Christian Fellowship
Living Life Victoriously
inspired by Jesus
and a dog that was bred
by gamblers
to clamp onto bulls
with short squat faces
so the blood would not run
into their eyes

Why do so many of his followers
wear the instrument of his death
hanging from their necks
in sterling silver or 14K gold
they got their Jesus on
with their holy bling bling

Will the man
who threw out the money changers from the temple
take them in when their souls
come knocking on his door
