I was "born" a Christian,
Raised a Protestant,
Been through a million sermons,
And I don't beleve in God.
And in my next life,
I was born on the streets,
And both my parents beat me,
But while I was in jail,
Jesus saved my soul.
Could we have had the same soul?
But the differing experiances at youth,
We ran from, for somthing else to hold?

Promt: Religious people are afraid of going to hell
Spiritual people have already been there!
