1. As I've said before, when you believe that the make believe of Christianity

5. Let's listen to an old Woody song

Jesus Christ was a man
that traveled through the land
and a hard working man and brave

He said to the rich
"Give your goods to the poor"
and they laid Jesus Christ in His grave ...

"Sell all of your jewelry
and give it to the poor"
and they laid Jesus Christ in His grave ...
