Our Lord - exhausted


The Man
JC
My heavenly homey
My blessed bud

Such poor names
For the King of King
Lord of Lords

But
Safer names
Friendlier names
Happy names

Brings Him
Down
To
Our level

Makes Him
Palatable
Comfortable
Nice
Manageable
Malleable
Down right mousy

Haven’t we done well.
From a beating
To a bumper sticker
From the cross
Ball-cap
From a tomb
To a T-shirt

How we have exhausted exalted Him.

When He returns He will command the respect of all creation. But by that point it will be too late!

It is only PC to make fun of Christ and His followers - no other religion will accept slurs upon their gods.

The church has failed! Is it at all possible to revive it? Is it worth reviving?
