№ 358: Comparative Religion

The Register: There are some 4,300 religions of the world.

Ladies and gentlemen, your attention divert,
today's center ring topic: Who Causes More Hurt?

Christians and Muslims? Historic bad news.
So, too, present day and Bible-time Jews.
That said, these three are not the worst.
Buddhists and Hindus are equally cursed.
Confucians and followers of Zoroaster,
when they're in power are a disaster.
Add Atheists, Animists, Wiccans, Sikhs
and, lest we forget, also ancientest Greeks.
The principal point of all belief systems?
Differentiation between believers and victims.
Baha'i, Shinto,Taoist, Jain 
ALL the above share in the blame
for the calamity we call humanity.
Religions may differ in what is avowed
but killing the enemy is always allowed.

Some few cannibals may be more discreet.
'tis said they kill only what they can eat.
