Voice of god is government

And the world might cease
If we fail to tame the beast
From the faith that you release

Neighbors, no one loves you like he loves you, / And no one cares like he cares. / Neighbors, let us join today in the holy love of God and money, / Because neighbors, no one loves you like He loves you. / And what better way to show your love than to dig deep into your pockets. / Dig real deep, until it hurts. Alleviate your guilt, / Free yourself once again, because he gave to you, brothers and sisters. / Please give a ten, twenty five, or fifty dollar tax-deductible donation, / And I assure you your modest pledge will be used to censor TV and radio, / Ban questionable books, and contribute to many other Godly services. / No longer will young Christian Americans hedonistically indulge / In masochistic submission to rhythmic music, for with your monetary support, / There is no end to what we can achieve in this country. / The voice of God is government. / The voice of God is government. / The voice of God is government. / In God we trust, sinners repent! / Can't you see what we believe in, all our thoughts, all our reasons, / Pursuit of life and liberty and happiness we cannot see? / Speak of truth with a mighty voice, but politics are your real choice. / Hire men to change the law, protect and serve with one small flaw. / Voice of God is government. The voice of God is government. / Voice of God is government. In God we trust, sinners repent! / If we shun God and Jesus Christ, religious love is sacrifice. / Love for God is shown in cash, the love they send is mailbox trash. / With every pamphlet we receive, more money asked for Godly needs. / Build a million dollar church, with money spent on God's research. / Voice of God is government. The voice of God is government. / Voice of God is government. In God we trust, sinners repent! / On late night TV, God can heal, a certain force you cannot feel. / Love for money in God's name, religion's now a TV game! / Build a million dollar church, with money spent on God's research. / Build a million dollar church, with money spent on God's research. / Voice of God is government. The voice of God is government. / Voice of God is government. In God we trust, sinners repent! / Voice of God is government. The voice of God is government. / Voice of God is government. In God we trust, sinners repent!

A Modest Proposal

For preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick. Jonathan Swift | 1729 It is a melancholy object to those, who walk through this great town, or travel in the country, when they see the streets, the roads, and cabbin-doors crowded with beggars of the female sex, followed by three, four, or six children, all in rags, and importuning every passenger for an alms. These mothers, instead of being able to work for their honest livelihood, are forced to employ all their time in stroling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants who, as they grow up, either turn thieves for want of work, or leave their dear native country, to fight for the Pretender in Spain, or sell themselves to the Barbadoes. I think it is agreed by all parties, that this prodigious number of children in the arms, or on the backs, or at the heels of their mothers, and frequently of their fathers, is in the present dep...

Ouvindo o silêncio

Comumente pensamos no silêncio como negativo, a mera ausência de som. Silêncios - é melhor pensar no plural -  podem ser longos ou curtos. Diferem em qualidade, bem como em quantidade. Podem ser naturais ou culturais, por exemplo, normais ou patológicos. Podem ser voluntários ou forçados, espontâneos ou estratégicos, quentes ou frios - como os ingleses às vezes dizem, "um silêncio de pedra". A ausência de fala pode igualmente expressar reserva ou humildade. Um silêncio desdenhoso ou insolente precisa ser distinguido de um silêncio ameaçador. As pessoas ficam sem fala por espanto, constrangimento ou até fúria. Em suma, o silêncio não é um fenômeno puramente negativo. O silêncio do professor experimentado é diferente também dos exemplos que acabei de citar. É a arte de fazer uma pergunta difícil e então dar ao aluno tempo suficiente para meditar, para elaborar uma resposta. Nos mosteiros zenbudistas, assim contam, o professor é preparado para esperar anos por uma boa resposta. ...

Socialism and religion

Present-day society is wholly based on the exploitation of the vast masses of the working class by a tiny minority of the population, the class of the landowners and that of the capitalists. It is a slave society, since the “free” workers, who all their life work for the capitalists, are “entitled” only to such means of subsistence as are essential for the maintenance of slaves who produce profit, for the safeguarding and perpetuation of capitalist slavery. Religion is one of the forms of spiritual oppression which everywhere weighs down heavily upon the masses of the people, over burdened by their perpetual work for others, by want and isolation. Impotence of the exploited classes in their struggle against the exploiters just as inevitably gives rise to the belief in a better life after death as impotence of the savage in his battle with nature gives rise to belief in gods, devils, miracles, and the like. Those who toil and live in want all their lives are taught by religion to be sub...
