Don’t you sometimes think it odd That wars are fought in the name of God? Behind religion armies hide Claiming God is on their side But what is even stranger still The Gods tell us we must not kill Yet we strive with all our might To prove that only our Gods right And of the others there’s no doubt Our Gods say we should wipe them out All religion beneath the sun Believes that it’s the only one To whom mankind should kneel and pray So to these ends we wound and slay Since the very dawn of time In Gods name we commit this crime Perhaps if all religions cease Mankind will at long last find peace Well here’s my own agnostic view God and religion NO thank you

I am NOT agnostic but I would like to congratulate u on a wonderfully written poem with nice usage of rhyme. One thing I enjoy about this website is the diverse opinions and genuine respect amongst the poets. Keep up the great writing. Gwendolen ps..typo-God's name ? :)

I hear you! Why can't folks accept people see God through their own cultures based on where and when they were born? And if God knows all certainly he is reaching who he wishes to reach in the manner that each can understand Him best. You might look into Unitarian Univesalism we welcome all, agnostic, aitheist, and all other faiths and place no one above the other. Light & Love/ Blessed be/ Shalom [your form is rhyme or couplet]
