Church – A Sunday Morning Disco

by rbenns on December 20, 2009

A Soul Train Line….
A Sunday Morning Disco…
A Bunch of Shuckin and Jivin…

Religion is not….

  • Acting
  • A hiding place
  • Enslavement
  • Moaning
  • Speaking eloquently to a lethargic audience
  • Entertainment
  • Let’s sing along
  • Doing a holy dance
  • A false show of holiness
  • Quoting Arabic
  • Prayer without consciousness
  • Sunday morning at 11:00
  • Reserved for only one day out of the week
  • A mechanism where by the only the elite profit
  • An emotional relief so that you can continue to remain downtrodden and impoverished
  • Not about rituals (baptism, being dunked in a pool of water, breaking bread and drinking wine)

Religion is ….

  • A total and complete way of life
  • Giving honor to God in everything you say and everything do
  • Allowing your decisions and actions to be guided by God
  • Paying honor to the Creator and giving thanks
  • 7-Elevenish….(24/7)

Religion has become an opiate for the poor.  Religion gives most people just enough to keep them sick.  Religion is the drug that too many people take which keeps them contented with having nothing while they wait to get their milk and honey on the other side.

Important (Read Thrice)

Most people mistake the map for the territory.  Most people mistakenly feel that crutches are to be used forever.  Rituals are where the truth is contained and are only designed to dispense HEAVY TRUTHS to the masses.  A ritual is designed to break down the truth into small manageable doses.  A ritual is designed to get you to perform simple practices (wax on..wax off).  Once you mature after having performed the ritual thousands of times and have extracted the truth something magical should happen.  The ritual must lose its power and significance over you and the truth should remain.  The ritual has gone away as it sees it is not longer needed in this area.  It was never designed for the ritual to become the way nor the crutch.

That’s my spin on it.
