Religion

A Poem by Donald
"

This may seem a little controversial to some and to others a bit biased. But some of it is true and it is still happening today.

"

If you were blind,

could you tell a white person from a black,

a Christen from a Muslim,

or Asian from a Mexican.

No one can.

The same can be said if you could tell a good person from a bad person.

These are all judgments based on perception.

This is how we see things.

Take away this and all they are human beings,

no different from anyone else than an average being.

We cannot judge something that we do not know about or how we feel.

We cannot condemn someone because their belief is different.

This happened during the Civil War,

it happened during World War 2.

It was because some people wanted to treat others as lesser beings because they were black during the Civil War.

The Germans only wanted purity for its people,

they exterminated millions because they considered them as lesser beings.

This is not religion,

this is bigotry.

We live in a nation that allows all religions to worship as they wanted to,

not because of how they have to.

Every religion  worships God in their own way,

but each religion has a different way to do it.

One should not condemn a religion because it is different,

It should embrace its difference.

This was nice. I don't condemn religion because it's different, i condemn it because it is dogmatic and restrictive. A simple matter of difference should not make someone hate anything. If it does, they are being absolutely ridiculous.
