Doubting My Faith

Throughout my young life
I've been taught the ways of God
I've never doubted the teachings
But now it strikes me as odd

The Holy Book as I've read
I can't take seriously
I don't mean to insult fellow followers
But it's shot with inconsistencies

Does it make me evil?
A Christian doubting his faith?
I'd like to believe my morals
Are silver anyway

I still believe in God
And to act to help the fellow man
But I cannot believe the book
That was written by human hands
