The UnGodly by Ang Berry - HTML preview

April 8th

“I wanted a steel bar heavily weighted on one end…”

Rape, rape, rape. Rape in my vagina. Rape in my butt. Same bull getting on my nerves.

Prayer of Manasseh

“O Lord, Almighty God of our Fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and of their righteous seed…”

Pray

“Who hast made heaven and earth with all the ornament thereof…”

Man cutting down good trees – trees with deep roots – uprooting life living within. Makes HIM feel spiteful that HE could split a mountain in two just by looking at it.

“Who hast bound the sea by the word of thy commandment…”

Oil and trash dumped in rivers and oceans

“Who has shut up the deep and sealed it by thy terrible and glorious name…”

Thick, deep billowing clouds rising above the mountains

“Whom all men fear, and tremble before thy power…”

God passing over a valley where two men, one black one white, are having intercourse.

“For the majesty of thine glory cannot be borne, and thine angry threatening toward sinners is importable;”

God saying to man, “And you’re mad at ME?”

“But thy merciful promise is unmeasurable and unsearchable;”

But God says, “That's okay. I’ll forgive you.”

“For thou art the most high Lord, of great compassion, longsuffering, very merciful, and repentest of the evils of men. Thou, O Lord, according to thy great goodness hast promised repentance…”

“To you,” HE says, pointing.

“... and forgiveness…”

HE says, “And you.” Looks like He means it.

“… to them that have sinned against thee: and of thine infinite mercies hast appointed repentance unto sinners, that they may be saved.”

“See,” HE says.

“Thou therefore, O Lord, that art the God of the just, hast not appointed repentance to the just, as to Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, which have not sinned against thee; but thou hast appointed repentance unto me that am a sinner: for I have sinned above the number of the sands of the sea.”

HE says that HE's had it up to HIS forehead…though there are some that HE enjoys.

“My transgressions, O Lord, are multiplied: my transgressions are multiplied, and I am not worthy to behold and see the height of heaven for the multitude of mine iniquities. I am bowed down…”

HE says, “Isa is bowed down. None of us have bowed that far.”

“…with many iron bands, that I cannot lift up mine head, neither have any release: for I have provoked thy wrath, and done evil before thee: I did not thy will, neither kept I thy commandments: I have set up abominations, and have multiplied offences. Now therefore I bow the knee of mine heart, beseeching thee of grace. I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned, and I acknowledge mine iniquities: wherefore, I humbly beseech thee, forgive me, O Lord, forgive me, and destroy me not with mine iniquities. Be not angry with me for ever, by reserving evil for me; neither condemn me to the lower parts of the earth. For thou art the God, even the God of them that repent; and in me thou wilt shew all thy goodness: for thou wilt save me, that am unworthy, according to thy great mercy. Therefore I will praise thee for ever all the days of my life: for all the powers of the heavens do praise thee, and thine is the glory for ever and ever. Amen
