Christianity brings sanity
Religion itself gives us control
Things we ought to say and do
Things we cannot say or do
They are forbidden
There are laws that have been laid down
Only to guide us
But can they really guide us?
For no matter how much guidance we get
We have been made to be free
For even Adam and Eve walked the earth in nudity
Free just like animals
And they are our parent’s parents
Truth is
We have unlimited freedom
That exists in our minds
That neither religion nor common law can restrict
It’s left to us now
To build its boundaries for ourselves
And that’s where religion comes in
To aid us in knowing our limits
But these limits are implicit
And can be superceded by the depth of our thinking
And we can tap into the forbidden
Even though it’s forbidden
Making it our own secret
The things we do that are forbidden
