and this is embarrassing You ever been scared you had no idea what you were talking about? Yeah, me too Honesty perplexed Ive lied and so have you, Christians Lying Like you never had questions? Like youve never had a moment when your inner dialogues were all of a sudden in third person like, Are you really buying this? Youre lying Like your eyes are one-hundred percent always satisfied by your spouse and you dont need accountability neither of which is biblical, by the way Your eyes are never satisfied Us, overgrown primates with egos, lying You quote the devil when you declare yourself okay You get it but you dont get it Like youve never planted your Chuck Taylors firmly in the sinking sand Youre lying We for centuries sing hymns of grace, and this is why its amazing And if its not, you dont understand Or youre lying Which is why your friends dont believe you There is just as much Jesus blood on your hand as there is his You sure you understand the cross? Forgive me for asking And Muslims excuse my boldness but what if youre lying, too? Like you dont ever have questions? As if youve never wondered why Allahs ears only hear directionally, and if you accidentally point it slightly north easterly then youve blasphemed? As if the thought has never crossed your mind that the Jihad has interpreted the Quran correctly and you are what we Christians would call lukewarm? Which makes you much more like my evanjellyfish churchianity would allow me to admit And you call me on it; Ill deny it, just dont believe me because Im lying I strain at gnats; I focus on silliness; I act like God has joined a political party just like you As if youve never thought, What if I was paralyzed and I cant make my pilgrimage to Mecca Yet I follow the text better than my whole family? Is there enough mercy for me? I know its wrong for me to front like I understand your theology as well as I think I understand mine, but I know we can agree on this: Something is deathly wrong with us And you, smarty pants, dont front Like the little you know about our universe you ready to draw conclusions about its origins? Maybe we dont know as much as we think we do Science still cant explain yawning Like you never took your world view to its furthest conclusions? That if human behavior is just what protoplasm does at this temperature, then there is no need for humanitarian effort, because these atrocities werent wrong, Its just the universe weeding out bad genes Them is fingernail-on-chalkboard words, aint em? Youre lying Maybe Im wrong, maybe youre right Maybe well find out the day after the world ends Yeah, I guess were all a little inconsistent, So maybe we can just show each other some grace You ever bury yourself in self-righteous guilt? Are there fresh tally marks on the walls of your brains prison, hoping that the count of good deeds outnumber the bad ones? Are your miserable failures your badges of honor? And when you count those tallies, and the day the good outnumber the bad, pat yourself on the back You have joined the rest of humanity You, too, are lying Like you never thought, Someone might catch me in my contradiction Yeah, me too You ever think to yourself, I have no idea what Im talking about? Yeah, me too
