The Good News Of Hell

The Good News Of Hell

(The Painful Gift Of A Cruel God)

The wages of sin is death

But the free gift of God is eternal life

An infant is raped and murdered

The wages of sin is death

But the free gift of God is eternal life

The prayers of a homeless schizophrenic remain unanswered

The wages of sin is death

But the free gift of God is eternal life

Genocide endures

The wages of sin is death

But the free gift of God is eternal life

I need more than slogans

I need more than “because I told you so”

I need more than quotations of scripture

I need answers

Answers to the question: why?

Why is there pain?

Why is there suffering?

If you’re God then why not answer the cries of your children?

Those cursed to be raped by your ordained ministers

Those cursed to sleep on the cold concrete

Those cursed to be among the outcasts

Why not answer the cries of the damned?

Why not put an end to the suffering?

Why do you insist that human suffering should last into eternity?

The only answer I get

Is not really an answer at all

It’s that same broken record that your believers continue to play

The wages of sin is death

But the free gift of God is eternal life

This hollow

Plastic

Good news

Does not make the cries of the damned any sweeter
