With
religion as with money, bad
drives out the good.
I put to you,
Muslim,
Christian and Jew,
YOU have got it all wrong.
The
chaos we see
could
never be
created
by ONE, however
headstrong.
It
was not creation,
but perturbation
that
set the universe ticking.
Believe
what you will,
in
the end, still,
we're
all of us in for a licking.
You
say, “Give it a rest,
you atheist-, Hindu- or Buddha-pest.
What
we believe is THE TRUTH.”
Well
that may be
but
what you show me
is
hardly what I would call proof.
More
self-hypnosis.
(Dare
I say psychosis?)
Illusion
raised to delusion.
Your
attempt (in vain)
to avoid the pain
of living amidst the confusion.
What
are the odds
the
multiple gods
our
ancestors so long agreed on
are
not as true
as
the ONE (for Christians plus two)
you
monotheists insist on?
