Which One Is Your God? - Ravi Kopra

A Hindu God?

His God is THIS
His God is THAT
His God is this and that
This is not complete without that
That is not complete without this
But God is complete
So God is THIS and THAT
And that's why all this and that
Om! Shanti! Shanti!

****

A Christian God?

What is all this and all that?
God is in heaven
Jesus is his son
Born of Mary, the virgin one
Through immaculate conception
The son looks like his father
The father looks like his son
The son died for our sins
We are now sinning more and more
So soon he will come back
Hallelujah!
Amen! Amen!

***

A Muslim God?

What is again this and that?
Only Allah, Gabriel and Mohammad
All believers should live
All disbelievers should be killed
Lay ambush to disbelievers
Ask for ransom or kill them
Sometime convert them
If all fail, kill yourself
And go to heaven
To get your thirty-two virgins
Allah hoo Akbar!
Allah hoo Akbar!

***

A Jewish God?

Still some mysterious
But in Old Testament
Nothing this and that
Everything very clear

There is flat Earth
On which we live
Above a dome, a firmament
Above that, Heaven
Where God lives.

Under our feet
Beneath the ground
Water, water everywhere
Flat Earth stands on many pillars
Standing in water
Standing on what, don't ask
When good people die
They go upward in heaven
When bad people die
They go downward in hell
Is there anything more?
I don't know
Don't ask
Amen! Amen!

A Buddhist God?

If not a Hindu
Not a Christian
Not a Muslim
Not a Jewish
Are you a Buddhist?
An unheard minority
They have no oil
No guns, no bombs
So much peace loving
Take their Tibet
Leave them alone
Who cares?
