Bad religion...

By j-rod

My blood boils, my hands begin to clench.
These are just vulgar. An unbearable stench.
Ridiculing, blaming, judging, and shaming.
How does one describe without naming?
Christians are their title, and perfect is their life.
They love everything around and live without strife.
Everyone else is burning in hell...
It's a bad religion. Not as it should be.
Life isn't like a prison.. We are all free.
God is truth and u are hypocrites.
Pay attention! You're already in a fix..!
You keep on judging as he says not to..
You make religion what you want it to be..
I'm sick of it! Your bull shit just isn't me..!
Pull your head out and come back to reality.
The word is there in all its vitality.
All you fuckers in your high esteem
miss the truth then miss the gleam.
God is truth and you're gonna miss out.
So put away your traditional ignorance
and look at the facts.
True religion is taught all around Acts..
No bullshit! Acceptance! Love!
That's your religion without the glove..!

    Still an astounding truth. Like Ghandi said, "I like your Jesus. But I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Jesus." (or something like that, hahaa)

    Quite the trouble maker arnt you :-) .... Well captured, a poem that stirs emotion from both sides, therefor I would have to say very successfull. If only there was a religion where you were loved for loving, one that being a good person was the judgement of your afterlife not the bowing to a chinese whisper open to expectations or interpritation from individuals contorted to suit. Let that be my judgement, not some book or building or some symbol...An awesome piece

    Sorry if u took offense.. I grew up in alot of different churches, each one different, and each one thinking the other was going to hell... There are christians out there who are true, but the majority are just playing the part.. Goin through the motions.. That or being more extreme and making religion a cult.. It's not the one bad person giving the whole concept a bad name, but the majority giving the concept a bad name.. Leaving the few true christians being judged for what the majority of false christians truly stand for... I love religion for what it should be, but not for what the MAJORITY of it is...

    Amen to you. All that shit sludgy said is well...something a blind supporter would say. Even though not ALL people are this way...the majority is and thats how they teach. they are extremely judgemental. even fucking god said that the people who judge are doing the worse sin then those they are judging. religion is way fucked up. just another way to make us conform and have 'fear' for the unknown. Fucking Blind Sheep! I enjoyed the write tho. Dont let crazy here...get you down...if they don't like the work, then keep your comments to yourself and dont read it!

This kind of shit pisses me off, even reading it almost a year later. Arrogance, pure arrogance. And it could definitely be argued it's "blind" of both of you to assume you know how Christianity and Churchgoers act as a whole. Not everyone who has faith in a Christian God will judge someone who doesn't, and it's blind of anyone else, in my humble damned opinion, to believe the majority is like that. Hypocritical and self-entitled just as you might claim those Christians to be... wow. The contradictory is just bewildering... and for the record, I am no "blind supporter". I form my own opinions, and I believe in lots of things. I am no better or worse than any of you. So, before you jump on the defensewagon (like people tend to do when I or anyone else has a differing opinion around here) or even the hatewagon, just realize it's my opinion... and you don't have to read it, if you don't like it, just as I didn't have to read any of this. :O

    If Christianity's shell is love and acceptance, then why are you blasting the whole group for a few fundamentalists and extremists? That's like saying one black guy beat you up, therefore all black males are vicious. Or one executive cheated the system, so all executives will cheat the system. Also, I'm sick people blasting YWHW and the Bible for allowing a Hell to exist. It really grates on my nerves. Heaven is YHWH's reward for followers, for those that follow His teachings. Hell is what everyone gets, those who didn't follow the teachings. If your mom said you'd get pizza for cleaning room and washing the dishes, and you don't do that, you don't get pizza. Also: compare to Valhalla; you don't get into there by sitting on your ass. Another thing: "You keep on judging as he[sic] says not to.." That means Christians don't get to decide who goes to Hell or Heaven. That doesn't mean they can't say "That's bad, knock it off." After poor English skills and hypocrisy, people misquoting the Bible (or anything really) for their own purposes (Christian, Secular, or Other Religions) annoys the piss out of me.
