Let's be real. It's fine to be Skeptical when others say "God has given this land to us." The appropriate response: "No way!" One group says, "This land is ours!" Another counters: "That's not true. We believe it was given to us!" And then fighting breaks out anew. Using the scriptures to justify The occupation of others' lands Provides a shaky argument And unsubstantiated demands. When we ignore the allegorical Nature of all religion, we lose. So much death and destruction occur When myths influence political views. In truth, there is no Promised Land; No one is a chosen one. There is only the voice of reason. Listen, and let its will be done. -by Bob B (11-14-23)
