Religion

Before religion came to man and took away his brain, he could ride high on sweet success and blame himself for pain. He cherished all the thoughts he held and balanced good and ill and knowing it was up to him he valued his freewill. Then sometime, somewhere in his mind he learned a better way finding comfort in a freedom where freewill would never pay. For now implanted in his mind acceptance was his game, as God decreed the way things were, he trusted in his name. Now joy and pleasure must be gifts, it’s not for us to choose. I fear that in religion more than just freewill we lose. Unless of course the God you trust is just like you and me and needs a little help at times to let our souls soar free. Ivor G Davies
