Political Correctness



POLITICALLY CORRECT LORD'S PRAYER


Our (mis)Concept of Patriarchal Authority, who, it can be said, inhabits the metaphysical sphere, privileged be your signifier.

May your social structure achieve dominance.

May the enactment of your desire be manifested throughout the physical-metaphysical dichotomy.

Empower us this day with the means of material production,

And refuse to enforce sanctions against our behavior which some see as subversions of a moral perspective, just as we refuse to marginalize the moral perspectives of others who have exerted their individuality.

Don't lead us into situation that some would (mis)understand as detrimental to the full expression of our humanness, but liberate us from the concept of "evil."

For yours is the hegemony, and the dominance, and perceived mystification within the entire continuum of the Western concept of linear time.



Let's make sure we keep the Truth the truth. When we fuzz down the power and the pop of the Good News, soon the image of Jesus Christ becomes so blurred, so obscured that it fades away.

Remember that Jesus refused to be easy. He refused to water down His radical message to be popular with the powers that be. Jesus walked into the darkened room and blazed His shinning light. He refused to be filtered or toned down... He was awesome truth. And we should keep it that way!
