Straight White Christian

Constitution says All men are created equal We live in the home of the brave But we annihilated the Red man And made the black man a slave We imprisoned the Yellow man And judged the poor and the gay Only a rich straight white Christian Can be a free man today We thirsted for power, now isn't it odd We raped, pillaged and plundered in the Name of God We committed crimes time will never erase Then thumped a Bible in your face We sin compulsively assuming God will forgive it Then preach Christianity but we never live it We formed a bigoted society where hate is the rule If we accept others as Equals we call our own a fool We sit in judgement of others, I guess we forgot This isn't the way that Jesus taught I'm a straight white Christian so maybe I'll fall But I'll die believing God created us all So when I read the Bible and God's Children I see I'll never assume it's only children like me. I no longer listen to your bigoted view. Equality for all, not just people like you. Equality means Equality and Bigotry is Bigotry Jesus said "Love Thy Neighbor" NO DESCRIPTIVE ADJECTIVE.

Good one about values..When a person comes to Jesus, that person will want to correct the wrongs in their life and live a life that is a life worthy of Jesus giving His life to save..Sara

So nice to enjoy your verse this cold snowy afternoon. [Go Vince! Jesus was not trying to make Christians. He as a Jew was trying to tell Jews -THEY were not God's ONLY chosen people! God made everything & one just they way they are and should be for the best outcome for all & we are just to small to understand the big picture.] Light & Love
