Religion...

I have little faith in religion,
But I do have faith in god.
I know that doesnt exactly sound,
like two peas inside a pod.

But for every religious fanatic,
There is someone suffering pain.
From some idiot who thinks dying,
for religion is a gain.

Why must I believe in your god,
To get a ticket up to heaven?
What about all our fellow other,
Good but non-believing brethen?

Are they simply to be forsaken,
For one man's word against another?
Are we simply to be damned,
For being labelled as the other?

I truly cannot believe,
That all of decent human kind,
Could be as stupid to insist,
That their god would seem to mind.

If they didn't profess the name,
Or they didn't bow down in prayer.
I don't think god's that insecure,
To be like a bling-bling flashing player.

For if there truly was a god,
I think he'd rather that we all,
Just be compassionate towards ourselves,
Rather than passing pamphlets at the mall.

So if you come across someone,
Whose chosen god is not the same,
Give that fellow man a hug,
Rather than blowing out his brains.
