Aversion

I cannot deny
onset of aversion
whenever I observe
religious dogma at play

why do we brandish our gods
attempting to save ‘sinners’
making it our life mission
I do find it annoying

belief is in mind
realisation is in heart
we can memorise scriptures 
or transform, becoming the light

Or we can just grab a Hershey bar and take a break. I enjoyed how you opened up this subject I tend to think for myself.

true, yet in India at least I see forced religious conversions, riots, inflammatory speeches and more subtly, brainwashing, thrusting belief systems onto others … I find it unacceptable.
