note to a fundamentalist christian (Free verse) by i_am_the_popsicle
my head is spinning
you are one of the best people that i know
and yet you still nod your head when that man in the front of the room
tells you to pray, of all things, for the rest of the world, to accept
Him
into their hearts
can you honestly think that all of those people
are doomed to damnation
just because they whisper a different name
when they are admitting their wrongs in the dead of night
you talk of a kind and a loving God
how is giving into that clean pure feeling of spirituality a sin
if it is not done your way
how is accepting that who Is believed to be the ultimate creator
into your heart a sin
if it is not done your way
surely there are evil and sinful temptations out their
but is believing really one of them
don't tell me all the bad things you have done
just because you've swept it into the corner
doesnt erase that you sent soldiers on wars of hate
to kill the innocent
and they admittedly walked in rivers of blood up to their ankles
but that doesnt make you bad
does it?
you say that you know
but you dont
know anything at all
and that is just it
we are all in the dark here, feeling around
grabbing onto what ever we find, that seems to give us a purpose
any true believer of any faith
is doing nothing but putting faith in that feeling
that clean pure spiritual feeling
that gives us all strenght in the face of adversity
i am sorry but i
Cannot
believe that 1/3 of the world
is doomed to a life in hell,
if hell is absense from the presence of God
and if you think that that puts me on the list
of those who are going to suffer with satan
then so be it,
i'm not a devil worshipper by any means
but i have never met Lucifer, and maybe
he isnt the source of all evil,
maybe he just believed differently
white isn't my color anyway
and it doesnt matter who opened that box of evil,
I know that
there has to be
more than
one
right
