Religion

War
what are we fighting for?
for the declaration of a superior religion 
divinity is fatal - a blood shedding division
violence drives religion's hearts to beat
and no it's NOT just Islam... oh sorry, I'll help you back onto your feet
the words you praise, the book that grips your engage
teaches the meaningless wars you wage
so before you read another page
know that that paper contains bottomless rage
and the church you've titled your beloved
steals your money and mind, yet you think nothing of it
and why?
because you're blind
God's the only good excuse you can find
and besides don't worship this entity
he's dangerous, he blankets an evil identity
he tells you to kill 
it gives him a thrill
but oh, it's only God's will
HA!
give me a break
I don't know how much more I can take
let me ask a question.  how much more death will you make
religion preaches peace, acceptance, and forgiveness...
excuse me, but when will one of these preachings ever awake
and yeah you may call me a heretic
but read that "holy scripture", minus the blindfold, it'll make you sick
and one more question.
when will war end and serenity reign?
hey folks, I have an answer for this one...
when religion isn't subsisting and creating insane...
if I'm wrong, than show me where the tranquility stands
yes, I'm a heretic
but there's no blood on MY hands.

I would have to agree with you here. I am religious but the bible does not support war, as so many religions do. Why would a god of love support hate. Isaiah 46:9 mentions he will put an end to war. that makes two of us with clean hands. Thank you for the sensible thoughts.
