Breaking Up With Religion



If the God you serve hurts you
That's not Divine
That's abuse
There is no excuse for it
A superior being abusing those with less
Seems more demonic than anything
The Most High Creator
Is not indifferent or absent
It is us
It is inside of us
It is us
We are it and it is we
What you believe in
Is a social construct
A fabrication of man
The suffering comes from delusions
Truth makes you free
But only when it's embraced
Not beaten into you for profit
