*Introduction*: I have nothing against Christianity organized religion. I myself was born and raised. Roman Catholic and I still have many of those beliefs and others too. I just don’t like people judging other people for any reason last I checked none of us are God!
Please don’t be offended by these words or just my idea that we need to get along and not judge each other. I have a real problem with people thinking they’re better than other people. It’s not right it’s not what Jesus wanted. It is not what God wants. It’s not what anybody wants. We need to find a way to get along in peace in this life and stop worrying about the next life or we’re all doomed, in my humble opinion.
It was religious/ethnic hate, and prosecution that led to my great grandparents both being murdered in the Armenian Genocide of 1917. My great grandfather was a Greek orthodox minister in the church there. It’s from their brutal deaths that I learned to love all and judge none from a young age and I think we all need to learn this before it’s too late. Thank you all and I hope you continue reading. ❤️ -aaa
No Room for Piousness

Coming down off their cross
Judging all others
Puts me at a loss
You’re not my sisters or brothers.
–
Christ taught love and understanding
Now chastising people
Your piousness not withstanding
Go back to your steeple.
–
I have nothing against anyone’s belief
As long as they do not hurt someone
Causing many, unneeded grief
Is not the love of anyone
–
Different views make the world go round
Embrace all that we can be
That where commonness can be found
Then the love and light we all shall see.
–
So please don’t try and impart
All judgments upon me
Though you know the Bible by heart
Try mastering common decency.
–
Please help the helpless
And give hope for the hopeless
That where we are the best
And this I must express.
–
In the end we are ALL the same
Members of this human race
So don’t place opposing beliefs or blame
Or kindly quickly leave this space…

“Religion” is nothing more than a tool to divide and control.

Your words are truly beautiful. It’s unfortunate that those who claim to be religious often lead in judgment and conflict. We need to move beyond labels and stop judging others because, as you pointed out, we are not God. When our time comes, we will all face the same God, and what truly matters is whether He will say, “Well done, my good and faithful servant,” or tell us He never knew us. This thought, more than anything or anyone, frightens me deeply, regardless of one’s religion or beliefs.

Thank you for your accurate thoughts. I too believe in a higher power. But I do not believe in organized religion. I don’t feel you have to pay money to believe or be forgiven. That is between you and your God.

Great post and excellent poem. I’m a Christian, and I agree 100% with what you said: “We need to find a way to get along in peace in this life and stop worrying about the next life.” I think the problem with many Christians is that they don’t read their Bibles. Jesus went pretty hard against the pious (the priests and religious people) because he saw the hypocrisy of their actions.
