Naive Faith 2


When 'Faith' is naive,
It hurts and is void of wholeness
It pretends to, but doesn't heal

When 'Faith' is naive,
It refuses to search and question
It offers what it cannot deliver

When 'Faith' is naive,
It promises power and prosperity
It does not prize common sense

When 'Faith' is naive,
It does not promote examination
It poses a position of strength

When 'Faith' is naive,
It borrows from multiple religions
It produces dependency and weakness

When 'Faith' is naive,
It blinds the brain
and binds the soul

When 'Faith' is naive,
Beware the origin of its conception
Resist the power of its deception

When 'Faith' is naive,
It is empty of valuable substance
It is filled with desire and disappointment
