I Affirm Christianity

I affirm Christianity
Because it affirms what's good about life.

I do not believe Rome converted to Christianity
Because Constantine decided it would be best
If the state were Christian.
Rather, rampant hedonism existed at that time
And men wanted an ascetic religion.
They chose Christianity
Because it affirmed there was a place for pleasure;
And that life is good, and that man and creation are not accidents.

The core of my Christianity is the liberty
I have to enjoy this Earth;
Yet, I see it is sin which steals from me that liberty.
I'm quite odd that way.
Many I talk to see the asceticism of Christianity
And find it abhorrent;
Yet, I've wrung my lips with hedonism
And chafed my throat with its burning liquor.
I lived a licentious life
And found nothing equal to the serenity I have today.

Thereby, Julian tried to turn the kingdom back to Greek Fables
But, Christ was found superior to all of it.
