more reasons …

“I can’t stand your religious meetings.

I’m fed up with your conferences and conventions.

I want nothing to do with your religion projects, your pretentious slogans and goals.

I’m sick of your fund-raising schemes, your public relations and image making.

I’ve had all I can take of your noisy ego-music.

when was the last time you sang to Me?

do you know what I want?

I want justice—oceans of it.

I want fairness—rivers of it.

that’s what I want.

that’s all I want.”

— God, amos 5:21-24 (the message)
