The Second Coming
And I shall come again, in peace
To neither judge the living nor the dead
But to set them free from their chains
And I shall come again
To set aglow a fire of still rapture
In the hearts of all flesh
And then in that day
In the day of my coming
No man shall say to his neighbour
"You are wrong"
For all shall be right
And all shall be wrong
And all shall know that all are right
And all shall know that all are wrong - partly
And error will be clumsy and humourous

Nice - partly. Is this is a new one, Jon?
i wrote these lines in unfinished form about 2 years ago. I am trying to convey the idea (hope) that God -presuming he exists- will surprise us when he returns, just as he surprised Israel when he turned up as the all loving all embracing Jesus 2,000 years ago. Fundies expect dramatic cleavages into us and them (same old story - does the Good Samaraitan mean nothing to them?). Was trying to convey an alternative vision. Please note that I am not a postmodern relativist. Truth still exists, its just distributed amongst many, such that all have some of it, and none have all of it.
