I was once told
That I'm a lunatic
For believing in a world
Without God.
I asked that judging person,
"Do you believe in all that's written
In your holy scriptures,
Every tale of flood and life
And murder and lessons?
Do you believe in all its axioms,
To love thy neighbor,
To turn the other cheek,
To harm not your enemies,
And above all else,
To leave all judgments up to God?
Do you believe what the crusaders believed
As they murdered more Christians than Arabs?
Do you believe the same things
As those 'fallen' priests of ill repute?
Do you believe in forgiveness and free will,
Or do the laws of your religion
Bend entirely to your whim?"
I was answered with silence.
