Religous Silence

I am so drunk already reading all this religious tripe n nonsense 
Give us all please - a rest !

Never trust a man who doesn’t drink
He is probably a righteous sort
A man who thinks he knows right from wrong
Some of them are good men
But in the name of goodness 
They cause most of the suffering in the world
They are the judges
The meddlers
Never trust a man who refuses to get drunk
They are usually afraid of something  deep down inside 
Of themselves 
You can’t trust a man who’s afraid of himself
They are either a cowards or a fools
Forgive my arrogance 
but I speak the truth
I am wiser than all religious folk
because neither of us know anything of the great or the good 
but they fancy they know something 
as I do not know anything so I do not fancy to say so
Yet I appear to be wiser than them because I know what I do not know
