An Atheist's Perspective

Holy fuck
Evidently, we’re all born to play follow the leader
And look so far into the future
We never actually get there
 
“it provides morals” they say
Because I guess being on your knees
Whispering “oh god”
Followed by “Jesus fucking Christ that’s so good”
counts as prayer
and at twenty-one
I can’t think for myself
 
I thought the purpose of my education was to obtain knowledge
Fact
Data
Evidence
Instead we sit our kids down and have them listen to stories out of a thick book rewritten countless amounts of times  
Translated through nearly every language humans have ever had the ability to speak
 
We give it validity
Make it law
Allow the past to run our future  
Alienate the present  
Attempt to ignore the differences between now and then
We take something unique and beautiful  
kick it in the closet and lock the fucking door
 
History repeats itself
And this cycle allows it to
 
But let’s pull the evidence out of that almighty book of yours
Clearly written in black and red
How much blood will spill in the name of god?  
How many children do we have to bury before we bury the hatchet?
 
Before we bury religion?
