Politically Correct Lord’s Prayer

22 11 2005


“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.”~ St Matthew-in-the-City Anglican Church Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand (Thanks Bob Calton for this)

Sometimes the exaggeration of humour is a great way of showing us how silly we are.

Leonkj ~ Humour is so essential to being human .. not so much of the slapstick stuff .. for me it’s the ordinary stuff that resonates with me :-)
