When I was four years old my mother taught me to recite this while staring at a small sculptural representation of a man dying an agonizing death...
Jesus, hanging on the Cross,
Tell me, was it I?
There are great big teardrops, Lord.
Did I make You cry?
I have been the best person that I can be,
So won't you, dear Lord Jesus,
Please pardon me.
Amen.
If only I hadn't swiped that chocolate-chip cookie!
For years I thought my mother made the prayer up, but found on the Internet (where everything is) that she probably didn't since it's also here.
Christianity is a sick sick religion. But then any religion that teaches that a loving deity sends people to hell to be tortured for eternity is based on perfect cruelty.
