My Jesus piece

So me and my friend Jesus

Yes, that jesus

Were talking the other day

And he was working on another one of his miracles

I asked him

"hey bro, I know you're the son of God and all,

But I don't see how you fed a whole village with a loaf a bread and a fish.

Like...

Did everyone get a molecule,

Or was it like... A really big fish and pita bread?"

And he was like

"duuuude"

Because that's how Jesus sounds in my head

But he was like

"duuuude, it's the nature of a miracle"

And since I'm really inquisitive, I asked him,

"What about you walking on water...

Was it shallow?

Because I don't know what they did in biblical times, but I believe buoyancy

Was still in effect back then... "

And Jesus said

"I dropped a piece of paper with this fly honeys and it floated away from me so I just walked right out there...

it was funny to just watch all the old ladies gasping 'it's a miracle' and I just said in my head 'no, it's an accident'"

Then I asked him about the resurrection

"you have to at least tell me how you came back to life, man...

Was there like, a switch or something?

Or maybe there was a stunt double?

Yeah, you promised to pay someone 35 silver coins to let you out of that cave... But then someone paid him 36 and he ratted you out... "

I guess I hit the Judas nerve

"come on bro, I've done all these things and I have documented proof. Don't you believe in me? "

And that's when things got awkward...

Because that question has been hidden in between the lines of my textbooks all my life

Matthew 8:26 states

"O ye of little faith, why are you afraid?"

If jesus knows all

Then he should know the fear that eats me

Every day of my existence

My question burning

Like hellfire in the back of my mind

I ask jesus

"what happens after it all?

Faith to me

Is like grabbing water in the palm of your hand

Feeling the force but never grasping the concept of it all

I've been force fed so many deep fried opinions of the same thing

That I can't believe it's not butter"

And he says

"but it's not butter... "

And that's when my mind...

Was blown...

I questioned my whole life at that very moment

Are lucky charms really magically delicious?

Did Nike really just do it? Or was it someone else tipping the scales?

And why Jesus gotta interrupt my sugar filled rant

He asked me why I have all these questions all of a sudden

And I smacked him...

With the truth, people... Calm down...

You would think that Christianity would get their facts straight

With so many different branches in it

I would think that it's the same tree they hung people on for not believing in the info in each pamphlet they pass out on Sunday mornings

Jesus, you of all people have so many names

It's hard to tell if you don't have multiple personalities

I know religion

Thrives off of confusion

Taking in the unweary

And lifting up their insecurities

To make sure that

You're either Christian

Or wrong...

So Don't tell me that you are the only choice

Because I'm not convinced faith can move mountains

But I've seen what it can do to skyscrapers
