MinnesotaA Poem by Markmysticism has always been at war with itself. I think.If Jesus lived in Minnesota I think he would throw snowballs. Before the priests and magistrates got to him and created their power and our religion, I think he would have had fun plunking his disciples with balls of snow. He would have enjoyed the sound of them hitting backs and chests. He then would have shook his finger playfully at them as they got mischievous grins and bent down to scoop snow and form it, all 12 aiming, firing simultaneously. He would have flung his hands out, fingers extended, face turned towards the sky in mock agony as he was pummeled by a hail of snowballs. He, and they, would then have collapsed on the snow banks in uncontrollable glee. Before he'd been carried away to create a religion My faith tells me Jesus was first about fun. For if there is no fun, there really is no life, and then the only reason for religion; control.
