FAITH WITHOUT HOPE - - -OR CHARITY

 

 

You don't have to understand,

that's what they said,

just believe - have faith,

don't doubt the things

that God has planned.

                                        That's what they said.

 

You are blessed,

faith is a gift

given to a chosen few,

it's up to you

to make the best of it.

                                         That's what they said.

 

Humility is good,

as are obedience and servitude,

don't look for reasons

to question God,

maintain a lowly attitude.

                                        That's what they said.

 

Women were born to suffer, that's your calling,

replenishing good breeding stock,

what could be more rewarding?

God demands your body

your heart and mind are His.

      

            You'll be rewarded for your labours

                                    when your dead.

 

                                                      That's what they said.

A topic worth exploring and given a pithy treatment here.
"You can choose what you believe
It can be fun to self-deceive!"

Fine poem, Flyntland. It's important to question and understand - then you can believe if you want to.

I was worried that my poem was going to be too angry for anyone to want to read it.
My 'Faith School' destroyed the greater part of my life having brainwashed me into a 'lowly attitude' and child bearing given as the reason for my excistance.

I see you are just as angry.

I think that, if you want to be a good human being, then go it alone and live by humanitarian values.

Sanctimonious rituals do not make good human beings just 'Holier-Than-Thou' ones

I was brought up a Christian -"love your neighbour" and all that.

Now I'm totally disgusted at the way Church leaders -Archbishops for example - suck up to the rich and powerful. One of them basically sided on the TV with liars and slanderers of an innocent man on the eve of the last general election.


"...don't look for reasons

to question US,

maintain a lowly attitude.

That's what they MEANT.
