Religion

Religion

I choose to believe what I believe in
That should not be a problem to anyone
It’s my life; please, do not stop me from living it

Why should my belief be a problem?
Why make me an enemy β€˜cos we have different beliefs
The way people die for religion’s sake is bothersome

You call me an infidel β€˜cos I am outside your circle
Who says you are not an infidel too?
And what make you feel you’re in the right circle?

So many things are going wrong in the worldΒ Β 
Religion is supposed to make things better
But I am afraid, that would be in another world

Have you ever wondered how boring the world would be?
If we have only one religion that everyone belongs to?
If we have only one God that all the people agree?

Yes, I am a Christian and I believe in the supremacy of God
I also believe in the afterlife, heaven and hell
Choose what you want to believe in, it okay for sure

I love you, I don’t care what you believe in
You are first a human being before any other thing
And that is what I see…a human being and nothing else

Exactly... I keep wondering why we make people who are not in the same religion as ours our enemies. I am trying to understand the rationale behind that .

Thanks so much for stopping byΒ

I would say religion is behind the majority of violence in the world.Β  It is such a shame because it doesnt matter what i or you believe no one knows what awaits us if anything.Β  Were only guessing, hoping and praying but unfortunately people become single minded and believe there way is the right way.Β  Great write.

Exactly my point. We all have reasons to believe our religion is the right way. Wouldn't you be a fool to be part of what you don't believe in? I just hate it when people take the whole thing too personally and start hating others for no real cause.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

My Dear Rose,

I have often said, that religion has caused the separation of mankind.Β Β 
So many zealots, ruin their lovely religion, for the masses.Β Β 
Why can't everyone just live and let live, and not judge people for their beliefs?
Your beautiful poem is replete with the love for all human beings.

All my love, to one of "my favorite human beings",
Daddio xxx

P. S.
Linda is sending her purest love your way too!

That's my point. Let everyone practice what their belief without any obstacle or fear of being killed.

My purest love to her too.
