as far from god

I'm editing an article on a humongous church that seats 16,000 in its sanctuary/arena and broadcasts to more than 200 million people around the world. You've probably seen the pastor on TV. Now, many of you know that theCallowQueen has issues with many televangelists. I find them often to use religion and the promise of God's gifts to believers to manipulate viewers for their own gain.

So, I'm editing this article and listening to Yahoo! Launchcast. And the song that I'm listening to is Garbage's "As Heaven Is Wide." And I hear the line, "As far from God," and it just fit. It fit with my feelings about this gargantuan church that calls an arena filled with 16,000 people a sanctuary. It fit with my feelings about the manipulations and lies that pervert Christianity. It fit with my feelings about how people feel after they realize they've been taken in and are left questioning their faith.

Nothing said could change the fact
My trust was blind
You broke the pact
If God's my witness, God must be blind

If flesh could crawl
My skin would fall
From off my bones
And run away from here

As far from God
As heaven is wide
As far from God
As angels can fly
