"Just go
away! And take your faith with you!
Divine principles are an irritation to my soul.
Remind me not of my debt, I will not repent or repay.
Discipline and righteousness I reject every day.Your God doesn't look
upon me. He cannot see.
Your everlasting home will be with sinners, just like me.
What "veil" could God remove that prevents me seeing?
My eyes are sound, and so is the rest of my being.
I'm happy this way, living according to my own will,
Suffer to become good? Madness. And me it would kill.
Besides, I enjoy persecuting people like you,
And while I have many friends, you have but few.
And if the faithless
"will have to learn the truth
through torments after death", as you say,
*
Then I'll learn God's Will in the 'eleventh hour',
Before my last breath, and before the last day.
Didn't Adam fail to be the "image" and
"likeness"
Of Almighty God and The Christ His Son?
So why expect me to be whiter than white,
And only do what the righteous have done?"
