evade

the will of man confuses me
the will of religious men smothers me
your will evades me

Legion, Saviour Machine

A few nights back several friends and I were discussing music and somehow this song came up. There is one line in particular 'the dragon slides between her thighs' that I mentioned and attributed as a quote from Revelation. I was wrong, it is not a word for word quote. It is more of a paraphrase of Revelation Chapter 17-18, here is the entire first verse of the song:

legion moves over the land
softly he whispers his forces command
naked she lies on the crucifix crying
the tears of the innocent die
the dragon slides between her thighs
the dragon breathes the fire
as blood drips from her eyes
until delivered of the child

I'm sure you can google the whole song if your interested. Somewhat random, but I thought I would share ;)

Pro Life Prayer?

Dear heavenly father,

Please give me a pro-life candidate to vote for so I don't have to pray at the clinics. Please give me a ballot measure so I don't have to love these women in distress. Provide for us an amendment so we do not have to financially support a young pregnant teen. Lord please give us the ability to carry out our own vengeance on these people and thank you that we are not like them. Please fix our politics instead of our hearts, so we do not have to adopt a developmentally disabled infant. Lord, I am ready and willing to give you my vote - please don't ask for anything more.

Amen.


(On a more serious note, thank you to everyone whose hearts are broken, eyes are red, and hands are busy - not that mine are...)
