Do you still have doubts that us having faith make any sense?
[I hope this brings me lots of controversy]
I lost my faith years ago.
I thought I was broken.
I believed hell would burn me
because God turned his back on me
Because I turned my back on Him.
Even at a young age, when my friend took me to her church,
and we sang lovely ditties about how this God was wondrous;
'Our god is an awesome God. "
"Our god of peace will soon crush Satan'"
No, your god is a hypocritical god.
even at age 10 I could see the stupidity in it all.
And I left that church and never went back.
But they did succeed by planting that seed of fear.
The 'what if' of the existence of this all powerful, judging God
but more importantly the 'what if' of hell.
That's how they hook you.
I Swear there ain't no heaven and I pray there ain't no hell,
Living in fear of hell instead of living for the love of God.
Now I know it's not a problem with my ability to believe,
the fault lied in the things I was lead to believe in.
I couldn't comprehend why we would bother honouring such a judgemental God
such a humanoid, conditionally-loving God.
He is a manifestation of the human condition.
Not holy, besides being 'all-powerful'
but then what stops God being translated into money?
or being a multinationalmultibilliondollar company?
I don't believe that we are all created in the image of God
but that God was created in the image of us.
No, religion is not for me.
scratch that
A tangible God is not for me.
I believe in the religion of love.
In the power of energy.
In the God and Goddess within.
John Lennon said it best;
"I just believe in me, Yoko and me."
I just believe in me, too.
Scott, and me.
