Spirit of the Sadducees


Atheists,
nihilistic babies
weaned on void milk
They raised themselves not to partake
of any faith-altering substance — 
God and religion 
is hard liquor and hardcore ***********
to their pure humanist, temperance sensibility
They don’t believe in spiritual invisible things ...
yet, they can touch the unseen air they breath
The spirit of unbelief ... spirit of the Sadducees,
rest within the bosom of their dry souls
Breast fed on prayer emptiness,
so many miracles of God they dismiss with ease
On womb birthdays and tomb holidays,
they eat cheerfully the sumptuous Devil cake:
(a dark angelic spirit in whom they don’t believe exist,
of course, in the first place)
A pasty pastry which contain twin ingredients: malice and avarice — 
hate and greed leaven mixed into the ugly bake
They take such preening pagan pride 
in denouncing the very existence of God
But, in cremation ashes they can’t hide,
from the holy, divining Resurrection rod
When their atheist flesh and bones
get reconstructed from the urn grave
It will be too late 
for them to wanna believe and be saved

Very well said: The fault lies in the way religion is presented, and how the bible is often misinterpreted. No loving God sentences any of his creation to eternal pain and suffering. There may be eternal fires...but not eternal suffering. And this thought that God wants just to be worshiped and obeyed, is impossible for an intelligent mind to accept. Look, as a loving parents, do we want our children to be as good as us? No! We want them to be better than we present. Possibilities are infinite.
