enough of the faith stuff

HERE WE ARE

 RUNNING AROUND ON A BALL

TRAVELING 40,000 MILES PER HOUR THOUGH THE UNIVERSE

SUSPENDED IN THE MIDDLE OF SPACE

TRYING TO FIND SECURITY

As long as we have studied things written by others, or discussed things among ourselves, we have never seemed to have been able to arrive at a general consensus concerning who we really are, and what is our purpose upon what we have chosen to call a planet flying around, what we have also chosen to call a universe.

WE TURN TO RELIGION AND RUN INTO A WALL.

It seems that in order for us to be able to converse about such things we have to turn to religion.

We run into a massive roadblock, because we find that in each religious group there is an aversion to enter into a discussion about these things.

RELIGION CAN ONLY DISCUSS WHAT THEY

BELIEVE TO BE TRUE

They have a concern of any possibility, that the subjects being discussed may veer away from the conclusions reached by the group in question.

IF IT REALLY IS TRUE BUT DISAGREES WITH THE GROUP

THEY DON'T WANT TO KNOW IT

Don't tell me anything that may be true if it disagrees with anything that my group teaches.

THAT LEAVES ME OUT

The reluctance of religion to allow free and open discussion of their beliefs leaves a person like myself standing outside of their grasp.

To me, there should be a rationale discussion concerning all things, and the results of the discussion should be based on science, and logic.

FAITH

Faith is a terrible thing for me personally to deal with because it says to me that I must believe what you think even if I don't.

NO THANKS
