Religion
old as time
Worshiped without restraint
Persecution:
A pious pastime
Hate and prejudice
"You can know
Love and Salvation
So long as you're
Just Like Us"
But what if I'm not
Does it make me any less of a person?
Apparently so in your eyes
Why must we all be the same?
What, is difference a disease?
Don't wanna be orthodox
Is my God any less REAL?
Where's the proof of yours to dispute mine?
Don't wanna be part of your saintly sideshow
Your moral madhouse
Laws based on scripture so everyone must behave like you
If that's how you play it, then I'd rather not join the virtuous and the venerable
Of your kindly clergy
I'm not opposed to your beliefs
I'm opposed to your actions and your attitude
You wanna be friends? Sure
But please leave all that **** at the door
