5.) The little boy and religion

 


A little boy once wanted to follow religion;

He then found out there were 10,000 in its division.

He turned sad, feeling lost, and he suffered severe depression,

The reason being is that he discovered the art of contradiction and oppression.

He sought Christianity and found out that girls should marry their rapists, Deuteronomy 22:28-29.

He then questioned whether it's divine or evil as benign.

Afterward, he sought Islam and found Surah At-Tawbah, verse 5 (9:5) of the Quran, the sword verse.

He discovered that this is not what a loving god would impose on his followers to do, and it's based on nonsense.

He fast-forwarded the years and still found a lack of brains weighing a ton,

Instructed to use swords, but these days their own followers resort to a bomb and a gun.

Still going against violent quranic instructions, he thought how silly they are and took a sip of rum.

Found nowhere in the scriptures, he then wondered how corrupt were the descriptors.

He sought Judaism and found Exodus 12:29 that "god" killed all the firstborn sons in Egypt,

God is killing babies now, he reckoned; he turned sad and wondered what nonsense was mentioned.

He saw sin in continuation,
He saw chaos in the population,
He saw negativity in all forms of communication.

And he wondered who can really bring equality with a written citation.

He then observed the behavior of religious people in each denomination,

And wondered how religion could be a mental application of control for each generation.

No one humble enough had he met; he stood still, focused on happiness and lived a life without regret.
