my god's better than your god
Isn't it strange...
isn't it odd...
how such different people
conceive of their God…
How views that oppose...
can be so much alike…
bear that in mind
'fore you reach out to strike...
...of course…
Atheists are a whole lot less likely to kill the opposition,
(interesting...don't you think?)
...be they Christian or Muslim or Jew.
But we've all seen all those yahoos who call themselves Christians.
...and we know what they're likely to do…
I'll leave it to imagination...read up on your history...would sins committed in the name of your God
be alright... committed by you-n-me?

Africa is plagued with religious wars but it never makes sense how much the faiths are alike.....
I hardly even know the difference between
These Arabic and Christan faiths....

True Christians knows that killing is not a part of Christianity. Those who say this are not killing for their God, they're killing for their own agenda. Good write cause people to think what faith is real & what isn't. Any faith that encourage harm to another, is not of The God I serve.

Re: Re. my god's better than your god
That may well be true...however...
all major faiths claim to be peaceful...
in spite of the things that they do...
how is it that they are allowed by the faithful...
to cloak their peccadillos in self-righteous bullshit
and go on as before? If your god rejects their behaviour
Isn't it unchristian for the faithful to accept these same actions..?

A person can say anything, but their actions shows their true faith. The God I serve let you have your free will, so it's you who have the choice to love or hate, but never kill in HIS name, because it's a lie, and HE has no part of you. HE also says that as you judge others, HE will judge you with the same measure. So if a person say they are doing it in My God's name, they are a liar & the truth is not in them. But then again, there are many Gods on earth, I just chose to serve the I just don't knock others for the God they chose to serve, I do inform them of who I serve & live as I have learned to live. Peaceful & not in anger.
Blessings, Ely

Ignorance breeds hatred.
I found your ink to be very thought provoking.
