Faith Keeps Us Apart

It seems the path Iam on is changing everyday the road uncertain just an endless shapeless gray some would say it would all be clearer if I took up there religion even with the doubt Iam not scared enough for that decision I see the faith you placed in one of the many saviors I lame excuse for the centuries of mad behavior Iam sure your prophets where the very best of man but your church and bibles where never in the plan so every race has a version of there own stories stolen from the gods of the past spoken out like it was always known not one of these faiths is open and understanding they keep others down and your soul churches are demanding then you history holds no science no enlightenment dogmatic foolishness written before free government and every soul that is afraid to die or to ashamed to live if you stop thinking then heaven is what they give even now the human mind is found wanting but reality is intelligence is hard work and life is daunting if only the concept of good will and love we understood without some sign from above if you need the ancient fiction to ease your pain I respect you and to all other men you should do the same your saviors were righteous there’s know doubt in there time they worship but no church was there twist whets its about there have been many Christ’s since the beginning of man the Mayans and Muslim have had tales since they ruled by the roman dry king ghandi and many more sacrifice there life so others could be free in my mind that’s what Jesus is what he is supposed to be even know there some man of great worth he has no money no powerful church he’s giving of himself and and loving the lost I dare you to search and see the truth were in this together and this is paradise we are the only keepers of our fate we must realize I can no longer people pay to pray and talk down to others who dont believe what you say but Christ himself did not hang with the saved he knew the hopeless so he could see them ok but times have changed were not ruled by religious empires mad with slavery we fought for those rights not with one mans good with collective human bravery a new age is upon us and the true test is coming not one of prophecy the makers of worlds the stars the cycle of suns chaos of the galaxy I hope soon we see are only time is now there is no second chance are race needs to come together and make a united stance if faith keeps us apart do we even have the heart

This poem is an interesting poem from an athiest perspective. However, I know in my life, Jesus is my Lord and savior and He could be yours too if you just obey Romans 10:9, read the Bible, seek Him, and go to a church that teaches the Bible and has a relaxed atmosphere. If you choose to remain an atheist, I love you anyway and I want you to know that you are a very talented poet.

The thoughts that you presented here give a different view on the standard. There was a man who did the same and he was nailed to a cross and died that day but he did not stay in the grave but rose to bring us new life...life that is abundant. Keep the creative and thought provoking writes flowing. Sara
