There is No Godly Religion
Rage consumed me while spitting it all out!
before you come after me,
think for a moment,
I do not believe in all these religions
nor do I believe in their claims of salvation.
godly religions do not disrespect other religions,
godly religions do not devalue humans for
being humans,
godly religions do not swear that they are
the ‘truth’; religions that exist in our
civilization are false, all of them want to be
in control, all of them want your wealth,
godly religions do not cause wars,
godly religions are welcoming, accepting,
and forgiving,
godly religions serve humanity with
kindness and love at all times,
godly religions keep people safe,
including the ones who do not share the
same faiths,
godly religions never speak ill of anything
and anyone,
godly religions serve as the moral anchor
of all corners of the world,
godly religions share their wealth with the poor,
godly religions never judge, never criticize,
and never flaunt,
godly religions act as the saviour.
So think for a moment,
is your religion godly or earthly?
no one knows the truth.
what truth are we really looking for?
the Holy Grail?
if I told you I knew how to find it, you would
definitely laugh and call me the greatest
fool!
everyday, we go about looking for it,
praying for it, wondering about it.
there’s only one way to find it, really.
but I can’t reveal it yet because I know
no one’s ready,
you may have heard esoteric practitioners
making claims about it…
or you may have even heard your priests,
pastors, and religious entities delivering
sermons about it…
what you’ve heard is what they’ve learned
from ancient texts,
are they godly?
am I godly for writing this… am I making it
all up… am I insane… am I the devil… am I?
I had two religions. I had a dominant one growing up.
I had witnessed another one in their own confines.
Then I grew up, I lived, I cried, I laughed, I felt,
I had seen worlds in my dreams, I had heard whispers…
Perhaps I lost my mind… Perhaps I only woke up…
If I’m seeking a spiritual refuge, a quiet place where
I can hear my thoughts loudly, I would sit inside
a church on random days… just to commune…
The only truth I hear and know for sure is
how much I love deeply from afar.
That’s my godly religion.
But the Holy Grail? Yes, I know how to find it.
I surely do.
And such knowing, as the worldly would say,
“You’re full of crap!”
Who cares? Call me whatever you want,
but I’ve finally cracked God’s code, and I
obey on my own accord.
Now tell me a godly religion that ever
exists or existed.
None.
None.
Absolutely none.
