Array ( [sid] => 7308 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => The Key [time] => 2002-11-23 07:20:00 [hometext] => This was inspired by the 'God' forum :) [bodytext] => I used to see heaven; I used to see hell.
I used to see them outside of myself.
But I never believed all that I was preached;
the Sunday school lessons: the fear they teach.

The things that made sense, I stored them away.
Knowing that they’d fit in with my truth some day.
Then as I met others with different ideas
I stocked my store cupboard, ‘til my truth was clear.

As you can imagine, I didn’t fit in
with any religion, the beliefs therein.
So, am I alone, or a part of each one?
Don’t answer that question, it’s just for fun.

I am part of the Universe, part of the school.
The seat of learning that’s here for us all.
Now I have knowledge and it sets me free
to reveal the world that love is the key.

yeah, mo power to ya! fear is something we can all live without, knowledge empowers while ignorance controls. love transcends all dogma, and all - is one.
