Yesterday

Why would anyone trade in a vital friendship with the creator of the universe for a predictable ritual that can be manipulated at the hands of mere mortals on a weakly basis?

The answer is best said through the words of the most performed songs of all time (7 million times in the 20th Century), written and first sung by Paul McCartney on the Beatles album “HELP” in 1965.



Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe
In yesterday

Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday
Came suddenly

Why she
Had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said
Something wrong now I long
For yesterday

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe
In yesterday

Why she
Had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said
Something wrong now I long
For yesterday

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe
In yesterday

Simply change the word she to he and that pretty well sums up that religion is really all about yesterday.
