"The Truth About Religion"
© 2012 Michelle Lynn LeBlanc



Religion gives meaning and purpose in this life
Without it, most people don't know what to do

For they simply need something to believe in
So they will have the strength to get them through

But the truth is, religions are man-made
And most followers don't see its pagan origins

Its really hard to present this truth to them
When their identity is so caught up in their charism

So what do followers generally do
When they are confronted with this harsh truth?

Often many will blindly ignore the facts
Or simply refuse to look at the proof

Sadly, most religious people simply follow
They don’t see the holes in what they believe

And if they do, they often ignore it
Because 'questioning' mean they are being deceived

So why is 'questioning' shunned by the church?
For if 'truth' is truth, then what is there to hide?

For the more one researches and studies
The harder it would be for the truth to be denied

So if you are one who desires truth in this life
Please don't be afraid to go deeper in your search

For studying ancient history and pagan mythology
Will set you free from 'fear-based' beliefs of the church!

If this poem is to say there is no God? Well I feel sorry for you. There is PROOF all around you, yet its people like you who chooses to not see it. So I suppose when your loved ones die they just are gone? Nothingness? Hmmm. Funerals must suck. I will pray for you... On the other hand if this is to bash religion as a word. Im with ya. Religion starts wars, brings judgement, and divides the world. Just do the right thing, love your neibor, and everything will be ok in the end...
