blasphemy and God-with-us

every time again confused spirals of thought from a complacent church leadership collide ferociously against my indignant soul deeming themselves infallible and showing no scruples this leadership announces God’s predilection for the male a male ‘God has created like himself’
		my fantasy and my feeling of wounded self-respect created an image --- in analogy to the biblical golden calf --- of the pope devoutly kneeling before the gilded phallus as counter pole I see my own experience of God it rehabilitates my relationship to ‘God–with-us’
in creative freedom I picture to myself from biblical texts how God’s presence shows itself hidden at plain day light in a column of cloud as a column of fire in the darkness of night
