Angry Letter To God Found In Church - Cops Called
<snip>

God doesn't have a ZIP code or a post office box, so some letters addressed to him are being delivered to a St. Paul church.

St. Paul police were called to Como Park Lutheran Church last week to collect the most recent, an angry 17-page missive someone left in the lobby.

An officer concluded in a preliminary report: "No specific threat to anyone but God."

"It's not a crime to write an angry letter, as long as it's not threatening or harassing, even to God," said officer Paul Schnell, St. Paul police spokesman.

1. Dear God
Hope you got the letter,
And I pray you can make it better down here.
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer,
But all the people that you made in your image,
See them starving on their feet,
'Cause they don't get enough to eat

From God,
I can't believe in you.

Dear God,
sorry to disturb you,
but I feel that I should be heard loud and clear.
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears,
And all the people that you made in your image,
See them fighting in the street,
'Cause they can't make opinions meet,
About God,
I can't believe in you.

Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too!

Dear God,
Don't know if you noticed,
But your name is on a lot of quotes in this book.
Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,
And all the people that you made in your image,
Still believing that junk is true.
Well I know it ain't and so do you,
Dear God,
I can't believe in,
I don't believe in,

I won't believe in heaven and hell.
No saints, no sinners,
No Devil as well.
No pearly gates, no thorny crown.
You're always letting us humans down.
The wars you bring, the babes you drown.
Those lost at sea and never found,
And it's the same the whole world 'round.
The hurt I see helps to compound,
that the Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
Is just somebody's unholy hoax,
And if you're up there you'll perceive,
That my heart's here upon my sleeve.
If there's one thing I don't believe in...

It's you,
Dear God.


-- XTC, Dear God

3. That is sad....
But it's the state of our world and the reason people really don't believe. And a lot of the problem is other "Christians".

4. Dear Creations:

Found later.

Dear Creations:
I made you in my image, and you shattered into nations.
Instead of getting along on Earth,
You all began to hoard.
What? Were you just bored?

It's not like I abandoned you, standing in the street.
There comes a time when even God's own creation
Has to stand on its own two feet!
I sent you prophets, sages, down the ages.
I gave my Son, Immanuel...
I dictated you a bunch of books!
So READ the f*cking MANUAL!

YOu think I laugh to see you kill each other?
See you dead or maimed or rotting in the slammer?
It's like watching you smash your own damned thumbs
Then blaming it on the hammer!

There's many paths to Me!
Some slower, some are better,
Like meditation, prayer or THC.
But I'll settle for a letter.

In closing, let Me say:
I know it's hard getting through
To me in my condo up above,
But really guys, I think that you
Should remember, the first Commandment
And remember, it's all about...

LOVE.
God
