By: Cedric McClester I’ve heard believers often state In the name of religion God is great While they produce nothing but hate Which serves to encourage the debate If they valued what they had How come they always seem so mad In the name of religion the things we do Whether we’re Christian Muslim or Jew Are the kind of things we should eschew Those things we’re all taught not to do I’ve seen some folks who proselytize And wear religion like a disguise But before too long you realize They’re people that you should despise For what they do not what they say Cos they’re just hypocrites anyway In the name of religion the things we do Whether we’re Christian Muslim or Jew Are the kind of thing we should eschew Those things we’re all taught not to do Some say religion should be abolished Based on what is common knowledge So few practice what they preach Or truly believe the things they teach And most religions seems convinced That only theirs makes perfect sense And sometimes that can be intense When they’re not open and so hence They require submission upon demand But reject your beliefs out of hand (c) Copyright 2015, Cedric McClester.

IN THE NAME OF RELIGION
By: Cedric McClester I’ve heard believers often state In the name of religion God is great While they produce nothing but hate Which serves to encourage the debate If they valued what they had How come they always seem so mad In the name of religion the things we do Whether we’re Christian Muslim or Jew Are the kind of things we should eschew Those things we’re all taught not to do I’ve seen some folks who proselytize And wear religion like a disguise But before too long you realize They’re people that you should despise For what they do not what they say Cos they’re just hypocrites anyway In the name of religion the things we do Whether we’re Christian Muslim or Jew Are the kind of thing we should eschew Those things we’re all taught not to do Some say religion should be abolished Based on what is common knowledge So few practice what they preach Or truly believe the things they teach And most religions seems convinced That only theirs makes perfect sense And sometimes that can be intense When they’re not open and so hence They require submission upon demand But reject your beliefs out of hand (c) Copyright 2015, Cedric McClester.
