Dear God,

I hope you got the letter, and...

I pray you can make it better down here.

I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer

but all the people that you made in your image,

see them starving on their feet 'cause they don't get

enough to eat from God, I can't believe in you

Dear God,

Sorry to disturb you, but... I feel that I should be heard

loud and clear. We all need a big reduction in amount of tears

and all the people that you made in your image, see them fighting

in the street 'cause they can't make opinions meet about God,

I can't believe in you

Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?

Did you make mankind after we made you? And the devil too!

Dear God,

Don't know if you noticed, but... your name is on

a lot of quotes in this book,

and us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,

and all the people that you made in your image still believing that junk is true.

Well I know it ain't,

and so do you,

Dear God,

I can't believe in I don't believe in......

I won't believe in heaven and hell. No saints, no sinners,

no devil as well. No pearly gates, no thorny crown.

You're always letting us humans down.

The wars you bring, the babes you drown.

Those lost at sea and never found, and it's the same the whole world 'round.

The hurt I see helps to compound that Father,

Son and Holy Ghost is just somebody's unholy hoax,

and if you're up there you'd perceive that my heart's here upon my sleeve.

If there's one thing I don't believe in

it's you...

Dear God.
