Religion Brings People Toward God And Then Gets In The Way! Poem by Chuy Amante

Scoop a man out of the gutter
and let him know he is a child of God!
Beautiful!
But then...
"we are the only true path"
"pay what you owe god thru us"
"you need signs and tokens"
"you must be true to your spiritual home" (church)

Churches would serve the world
as "Flight Schools"
A good church would have many, many graduated souls
to be proud of.
A good church would be continually emptying out its pews
frequently as it assists flight school grads to
GO FLY! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Nothing should come between you and god
(other than a pesky ego)
