I am really hesitant talking about religion with people when I do not know if they are up for a debate, so please do not take any offense to this or think I mean any malice for posting it. But I love love love this letter from God..... to me this song somes up my idea about God and Christianity, Humanity in general.

Here are the lyrics for those who can't see the video

Hey There, how, how’s it going?
Long time no see.
I know I haven’t been around much lately
But…it didn’t seem like you wanted me to be
The last time I sent down a message you nailed it to the cross
So I figured I’d just leave you to it, let you be your own boss

But I’ve been keeping an eye on you, I have, and it’s amazing how you’ve grown.
With your technological advances and the problems you’ve overthrown,
And all the beautiful art you’ve created with such grace and such finesse,
But I admit there are a few things I’m afraid have impressed me less.

So I’m writing to apologize for all the horrors committed in my name,
Although that was never what I intended, I feel I should take my share of the blame.
All the good I tried to do was corrupted when all the religion got into full swing,
What I thought were quite clear messages were taken to unusual extremes.
My teachings taken out of context to meet the agendas of others,
Interpretations taken to many different ways and hidden meanings discovered

Religion became a tool, for the weak to control the strong
With all these new morals and ethics, survival of the fittest was gone
No longer could the biggest man simply take whatever he needed
‘cause damnation was the price if certain rules were not heeded

Some of the deeds committed in my name just made me wonder were I went wrong.
Back at the start when I created this, the foundation seemed so strong.
See all the elements were already here, long before I began, I just kind of put it all together
I didn’t really think out a long-term plan.

I made the sun an appropriate distance and laid the stars across the sky
So you could navigate the globe or simply watch the sun rise
I covered the earth with plants and fruits,
Some for sustenance and some for beauty
I made the sun shine and the clouds rain so their maintenance wasn’t your duty
I tried to give each creature its own attributes without making them enveloped
I gave you all you all your own space to grow and in your own way space to develop

I didn’t know such development would cause rifts and jealousy
Cause you to war against each other and leave marks on this planet indelibly
You see, I wasn’t really the creater, I was just the curator of nature
I want to get something straight with homosexuals right now: I don’t hate ya
I was a simple being that happened to be the first to wield such powers
I just laid the ground, it was You that built the towers

It was You that invented bombs, and the fear that comes with them
And it was You that invented money, and the corrupt economic systems
You invented terms like just-war and terms like friendly fire
And it was You that didn’t know when to stop digging deeper, when to stop building higher
It was You that exhausted the resources I carefully laid out on this earth,
And it was You that even saw these problems coming but accredited them little worth
It was You that used my teachings for your own personal gain
And it was You that committed such tragedies, even though they were in my name

So I apologize for any mistakes I made, and when my words misconstrued
But this apology’s to mother nature, cause I created you

There are so many things about this song I agree with and just want to scream out at people. I won't scream it out to y'all.... just wanted to share to those who wanted to receive.

I agree..I think its beautiful! thanks for sharing

Christianity, like any religion, can be used for good and evil depending on whose hands it gets into which is why you always have to be careful to who you listen too.

I encourage y'all to check out the post in the Christian Fellowship thread about Do you attend your homosexual son's wedding. I wrote a thoroughly detail response about my religious beliefs. So If you want to know who ThePerfectScore is religiously, check out my response to this question:
f you dont mind me asking - who is this christ and god you are referring to that supports homosexual marriage and relationships?

There may be many things that are up for debate, but if you are referring to the God of the Holy Bible this is not one of them.

Please elaborate.

You can see the intentions of the writer, which is great. The song does indicate how much God's heart goes out to us, which I really do like because it's true. However, the one part that I can't get with is all the apologizing. This would be great if this was from a human, but from God? I don't agree. This implies that God makes fumbles, mistakes, horrible judgement calls, and the bible clearly says that he's "not the son of man that he should repent". I believe that God was/is fully capable of forseeing the future and every outcome associated with it. Other than that part, it's all good!

Yes well the author of the song was limited in his capacity.... he is in fact just merely a human and not God himself. :rolleyes: But I like the message it sends us that we need to take a good look around us at all that God has placed on this earth and start treating both nature and each other right! :grin:
