Continuing the theme of Christianity vs. Christianism I've written a poem designed to royally piss the latter off. Basically I feel faith is good, organized religion is bad. They took a good idea and ruined it. They politicized it and turned it into a money making propaganda machine wrapped up with a sort of elitist mindset that says if you don't follow blindly there is something wrong with you. 70 year old virgins in funny hats and robes telling us how to live our lives... then again I'm not one for authority.
If you are offended feel free to bitch about it, but I stand by every word... The 1st amendment is still in effect right? Or was that part of the "mandate" as well?
Faith Based.
If Jesus is your shepard,
Than you are but a sheep.
Pull the wool over your eyes,
And just go back to sleep.
If religion is the answer,
The question must have been:
"How can we rob them blind,
While brainwashing them?"
The most simplistic answers,
Require little thought.
Most just look to symbols,
Like the flags and cross they bought.
If ignorance is bliss,
Than heaven is on earth,
For those who breathe intolerence,
From the moment of their birth.
"Adults" who follow fairytales,
Truly are the blind.
Refuse to trust their eyes or ears,
Or open up their minds.
There is no shame in having faith,
Or something to believe.
But faith without enlightenment,
Is quite a dangerous thing.
~The End~
