Best Poems Written by Krista Noll

Religious Debate

My beliefs are not yours to judge
Christianity and Catholic? 
What do they mean? 
One god, one book, one set of rules
They both say to ask for thy forgiveness

Paganism? Norse?
Celebrate thy selves and treat thyself right
Looking at a distance, all religions are the same

Norse, Greek and Egyptian 
They all have the same deity's
God's and goddesses, they're all the same
Men and women who have the same thought
But are different all the same

You have God, Buddha, Zeus and Odin
All are fathers of their own religion 
But are called different all the same

Hades, Satan and Mara
All gods of the underworld but called evil
All have their owns past but called Demons

Loki, Hermes, Apate and Dolus, and Maui
Norse, Greek and Polynesian tricksters
All looked down on for their way of life
Tricksters, deceivers or liars
Motivated not by strict moral codes but rather their own amusement or interests

Why do we judge when we can't say who is right or wrong?
