The Postmodern Lord's Prayer

Our celestial parent of unspecified gender, hallowed by thy name (but not so hallowed that thou can pass judgment on us; that would be intolerant of thee).  Thy gender-neutral royal administration of the world come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven, or Valhalla, or wherever it is that we go after we die.  Give us this day our daily organic tofu.  And forgive us our unintentional indiscretions, for we didn't really mean it and who are you to judge us anyway?  And lead us not to be tempted to judge our neighbor, but deliver us from intolerance.  For ours is the power and the glory forever, for we can do anything if we just work together and accept one another as we are.  Amen.
