Modern Religion
Belief is dangerous
in its modern connotation.
Oh, wait,
this is a poem, so I'll kinda make it something that sorta
resembles one.
Anyway, the thing is if you don't believe what I do
or I don't believe what you do
(pretty much the same thing, eh?)
then we consider each other evil
and there is no room for acceptance
because if we accept evil, we're gonna burn or freeze
eternally
or get shunned
or bombed
or miss out on our seventy virgins
or come back in our next life as somekindapieceashit...
Understanding, on the other hand,
EVEN if disbelief (aka disagreement) is involved
is a cool thing to strive for.
