Attention! - To the Wondering Soul (Free verse) by darkhelmet10

The following is a brief message. Think before you act, Do your best at everything you do. Consider how others will react. For, I know the truth. Relax, breathe, things aren't so bad. We're all doing what we think we can, We're all confused, We're all human. For, I know the truth. There is no evil in this world, There are simply inner fires. There is simply greed, There are simply desires. For, I know the truth. We're all the same, We're all completly different. I speak out to you, my generation, Think before you act. For, I know the truth.

thank you for illustrating my point for me.

you might want to investigate some facts yourself, sir.
i chose 3 to illustrate myself:

1. god did not 'write' the bible. he doesn't take up paper and pen, or at least i've not heard of him doing so. to whit:

"Little is known for certain about the authorship of most books of the Bible. Broadly speaking, there's often a "traditional" view and a "scholarly" view, but the arguments are entirely from internal evidence and beliefs. There is no external, independent evidence of authorship or dating of these books. If you have five scholars in a room, you'll get seven different theories. "

2. Jesus does not advocate the old 'eye for an eye' theory.
"If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. " Luke 6:29
same could be said for your buildings.
and you call yourself a christian! you are a crusader, a fighter, a warmonger, a money-changer.

3. as for all the rest: Luk 6:37 "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven."
