Jesus Christ and a Nuclear Bomb

There are two churches -



One to worship a man-made image

And another to worship a man-made image

Both gods speak to me in their own ways...



"Happy shall he be that taketh and dasheth the little ones against the stones"



"Their silhouettes were burned into the walls"



One speaks of life after death

And one speaks of death after life

Both speak of life and death

One glorifies evil

The evil of forgetting the value of human life

The other glorifies evil

The evil of forgetting the value of human life



"I come not to bring peace, but a sword"



"Incinerated even as the flash arrives"



The world has built separate but equal altars

One over millenia, one over decades

A religion based on fear, and a religion based on fear



Hope vs. hope

One death better than another



Both have set up their own pillars of martyrdom

But only one worships the fallen

While the other worships the fall



Is there any hope of resurrection?

That just depends on whose books you read.

There really isn't much difference when you think about it...
