Dead Right

Because you
are absolutely sure
that you are right,
you are willing
to lock up,
kill,
shame,
crush,
and financially destroy
everyone
who disagrees
with you.

Those
who do not
subscribe
to your omniscient beliefs
can be starved,
shoved to the streets,
left without a country,
and can be denied
medical treatment
or basic human rights.

In order for you
to not only survive
but to thrive,
you must own,
possess,
and control
every square inch
of land,
all the resources,
and every avenue
of existence
for those
other than meeting
your approval.  

If this is Christ's doing,
you can have him.

I will none
of it.  

In your eyes,
Christ is
at war
with the world.  

This belief
of yours
is terrorism
at work,
and you vilify
all those
who would
seek to exist
outside
of your control.  

You say that
when you die,
you will go
to a better place.

I question
your beliefs.  

Why stay
in hell
when you could
be living
in heaven
right now?  

You can
hardly wait
to die,
but there is
no reason
in the world
to take us all
with you.
