I'm starting to feel... um... not prolific.
Well, I need to point out that I'm finding it difficult to come up with good content to keep all of my blogs updated. Suddenly, I happen to have four sites/pages/blogs...
So, I have posted a new entry on my ongoing site.

How Do You Do?

Listen to this song keeping in mind that Shakira, the singer/songwriter, is a Colombian young lady who has always been Catholic… apparently she is questioning her beliefs and trying to utter these questions in this song. Very popular in Latin America and Europe, although I find her voice a little strange.

The content of this piece is what caught my attention.


How Do You Do?

Shakira

Oral Fixation

Lyrics -

Forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who have trespassed against us
Give us this day our daily bread
Daily bread, daily bread

Gloria Espiritu Santo

What language do you speak
If you speak at all?
Are you some kind of freak
Who lives to raise the ones who fall?

Hey, would you tell me why
The cat fights the dog?
Do you go to the Mosque
Or the Synagogue?

And if our fates have all been wrapped around your finger
And if you wrote the script then why the troublemakers?

How do you do?
How does it feel to be so high
And are you happy?
Do you ever cry?

… I sometimes cry …

You’ve made mistakes
Well that’s OK ’cause we all have
But if I forgive yours
Will you forgive mine?

Hey, do you feel our pain
And walk in our shoes?
Have you ever felt starved
Or is your belly always full?

How many people die
And hurt in your name?
Hey, does that make you proud
Or does it bring you shame?

And if our fates have all been wrapped around your finger
And if you wrote the script then why the troublemakers?

How do you do?
How does it feel to be so high
And are you happy?
Do you ever cry?

… I sometimes cry …

You’ve made mistakes
Well that’s OK ’cause we all have
But if I forgive yours
Will you forgive mine?

Forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who have trespassed against us
… Mehila …
Give us this day our daily bread

… Mehila …
Daily bread
Daily bread
Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory
Amen!

Yes, I know... but my OTHER soapbox is more laid back and full of jokes and other nice things - it is on Tumblr.
My "official" site is the one on WordPress. That is exclusively atheism-related.
Then I have another one on Atheist Hit Squad site, and this one.
Insane? I could come up with more accurate definitions, but probably those are not words I should use here. Just sayin.

Well, you kinda dented a guideline, but you're nice so we'll let you slide :-P.

Hi, Dan. Oops! sorry. My bad. I should have read those before.
It won't happen again. Lesson learned.
Thank you for the link, Dan. Ohhh! And thank you for letting me slide. :)

Aw, Morgan, thank you so much for the vote of confidence.
I'll do better next time.
