Religion




If you haven't already done so, check out http://www.evilbible.com/ for a vast array of compelling critiques relating to 'The Bible'. It points out how God is a jealous, cruel perpetrator of mass genocide, not to mention an inciter of racial hatred.


You have to love people who take 'their' Bible literally. The refusal to accept the simple, commonly acknowledged fact that it has been whittled down over the centuries, and edited by people (note, not God!), to portray only what the organised Church wished it to.


I'm not bashing Christianity per se, I abhor any religion which anyone can potentially use as justification to spread death and suffering under the thin veneer of 'righteousness'.


And yes, I know that for someone who swings a stick at religion, I write an awful lot of poems relating to God. I must point out, I'm not actually writing them, I'm merely *channelling* them from a higher power ;)
