“Purloining*”


“Purloining*”

cji
1/10/12

Teaching partial truths
allowing not all knowing
deterring many from life
discovering rhetoric’s claim
getting followers great
no Balm of Gilead had
only worldly ravages
sore afraid to believe
sensing to be abandoned
pressures applied by those
purloining another’s salvation
giving instead only partial
being saved without more
which all men/women
have simply being born
mortal and with agency
losing all for but a moment
with lucre for the priest!

*(Note: less than 30% of those graduating from various schools of Divinity accept parts of the Bible literally – and most especially the Savior being Divine and a Ressurected Being with flesh and bone. Of the 70% most believe that the Savior was a great teacher like Socretes – but no more or less. Of the remaining 30% most do not take the Bible literally but only that the Savior was who he said he was – and that he was Ressurected – but they understand not what he now is like.)
