Question: What if we could turn the table!?
Follow The Leader

Step right up sit down in the box
Cleanse your heart and soul of this pox
Weighty it is and this I know
Of me you know not yet you bestow
Faith in me to be righteous and fair
As you draw the curtain and sit in the chair
Tell me of all the things you’ve done
Every awful evil under the sun
Confide in me how the mirror you shun
How at your hands your life came undone
And when through the spilling of your soul
I’ll wash your spirit and make you whole
Rid you of this humanly pollution
All will be new if you accept absolution
Just do as I say and you will be free
The one from above has annointed me
Not once to you did I ever have to prove
That I was worthy right in every move
Holier than thou above most men
Right in my stance for I am without sin

What if for once we turn the table
Kneel before me Father if you’re able

On a personal note I have all but abandoned organized religion because it has always failed me in executing its purpose!.!.!. I was having trouble discerning the good guys from the bad; seemingly driven by enlightened words with great meaning, their actions being their antonym!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's funny - from childhood - I've never thought of a priest in a confessional - as being a person!. They were only someone - who was there - to be a visual in place of God!. I never even considered them to have human faults and/or feelings!. I don't think - I would even be interested - in hearing their confession ?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ok I get it! My family is catholic; I use to be catholic! I read it again!

Your'e talking about the confession booth!.


Good poem! Please answer mine!.

In Judaism, on the High Holy Days, the Rabbi asks forgiveness of God and his congregation before performing the service!. Why should it not be the same for clergy of other faiths!?

All priests should be called "Father O'Neil"!. That's because Father Genuflect would be too hard for little kids to say!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
