Life is bigger It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisperOf every waking hour
I'mChoosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

"Losing my religion" was something people said when they slipped up and cussed publicly. But, think about it. There was an old song that said, "Gimme that ol' time religion." A catchy song, but what did it really mean? Do we want a solid case of religion or not?
Did Jesus come to establish a religion? Obviously he did establish one: we call it "Christianity." And Christendom is known for good, but it is also remembered for many evils perpetrated by religionists in the name of Christ. Could we learn to avoid the bad stuff? Maybe we need to lose our religion, but keep our faith. Maybe if we lost our religion we would love one another.

Your religion is what you believe spiritually, right? If it is a denomination doctrine rather than the teachings of Jesus then maybe we should lose it. But why not look at the cup as being half full and instead of losing what you do have ,why not add to your faith and end up in Love with God and his creation. Pure religion. I have always been one to tear down rather than building up from where ever we are. Building is better than destroying.
Right. The Pharisees were trying to tear Jesus down, right? And they were the highest reps of Judaism, the holiest, most-right guys anywhere. We do the same stuff. In fact, if Jesus actually walked among us, we might reject Him. We'd say, "That ain't God!"
You've been transformed haven't you, bro? Interesting to see where God is taking us with this new perspective.
Yea, This is getting to be a real neat journey. I 'll tell you more of site in an email.
