The Mystery of Faith

All of God's children
praying together
in splendid houses of worship..

Of course they also sin..

Many of them incessantly
which to me
is the height of hypocrisy
since so many love to preach
about the Lord's many requirements

So the unfaithful
sure can't use ignorance of the rules
as a fall back failure excuse..

So why the constant moral violations
that only serve to jeopardize
their potential heavenly reward?

This does give me reason to pause
if these pilgrims are truly all in
on the prospect of eternal salvation
which as I understand it
is sort of the end game objective
for pious true believers..

Makes me thank God
I'm a practicing agnostic..
