Oh Come! - - - All Ye Faithful
The Deceit of Religiosity - Positive conclusions of a Nonagenarian.
Everyone is infected with an imaginative 'spiritual' tendency, sentimentally induced, that is 'merely' the natural wonderment of our existence & surroundings.
Elemental reasoning must be applied to give all 'fantasial' thoughts a true perspective.
'Heavenly' visions need to be truly assessed & not allowed to sabotage the prevalent common sense & research that seeks to counter Life's ongoing problems. Unrealistic 'Beliefs', a cause of so much mayhem & mortality of past & present, are all very basic Man-made creations - - - devious proclamations of a false & tedious nature, incessantly beguiling shallow minds with absurd religious dogma.
Unease can result in the mind having a very tormented view of one's situation, with an urge to look skywards for help. In order to form a valid judgement on 'figmentary' Gods & 'Heavenly' matters, a reasonably healthy state of mind is essential.
Nearing the end of a long life, not without bother, the need to rely on any absurd 'belief' has never really entered my consciousness! It's all too apparent that religious 'Faiths' are pure humbug, blessed with existence by Impostors & their largely naive followers.
A prime source of amusement!
****************************
To date - 'Beliefs' I have ignored - They've never really struck a chord
But ageing - Getting more a wreck - I deemed it wise to run a check
Pondered long - Far back in time - & I declare with thoughts sublime
Faith's nebulous starting point was found - I was correct the first time round!
Following are my deep reflections - All plain fact - No deceptions!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Mankind has been profoundly caught - In devious realms of religious thought
One needs understand it's institution - & follow through - it's evolution!
Without a doubt - - - 'Gods' were born as Man in fear - Strove to see his future clear
Apprehension & lack of knowledge - Spawned a 'Holy Praying College'!
In primeval times - Long gone - Man deified Idol & Icon
& once begun - That Godly Grind - Nested within a receptive mind!
Inevitably - - - In those early years of Man - The reign of Charlatan began
Claiming insight without proof - & saddling Man with One Big Spoof!
Generations gone & all they've known - Is Charmanism - All 'Home grown'
Religions? - They are So abundant! - All should be by now - Redundant
Theosophies? - Created by the score! - Beliefs? - We doubtless need no more!
Suffice to say - "We'll never know - What really makes the green grass grow!"
Probing the Atom or 'Heavenly' Space - We do indeed come face to face
With Infinities galore - & possibly a good deal more!
Temples & Cathedrals Grand - Very impressive - But as they stand
Forget thee not - These 'Sacred Places' - Are but Monuments to Man's benighted phases
The hallowed music of the choir - For better things it does aspire
But does 'God' hear this psalmic prayer? - Is He listening? - Is He There?
'Men of God' are full of cant - Preaching they know what we want
Know they themselves - They are uncouth - When they profess to know the truth!
Where are the 'Gods' to which they pray? - Requiring worship every day
'Gods' are only in the head - & in the head that's where they play!
Just because Man cannot see - Affairs that may have yet to be
Faith is placed in a 'God' unseen - An Essence that has never been!
Are we all obliged to be beholden? - Even when Life is far from golden?
Let's have done with this masquerade - From the Heads-down - Backsides-up brigade!
The grievous indifference of Nature's Court - Is apparent in Life - 0f any sort
What Man must do to get along - Is rationalize & stay on song!
Faith in covert 'Gods' I fear - Can't be taken serious here
Common Sense alone sheds light - Let's put all pious B's to flight!
May the wisdom now amongst us - Rid us of this cloying fungus
Let's all rejoice in Logic's role - & bury the Bunkum down a hole!
The grasp of facts in Man evolving - Guideth him in problem solving
When an act proves no solution - Modify
it - That's Evolution!
So let some light into the brain - Resolve to think - & think again
Is A religion all That fateful - Oh please come off it - All Ye faithful ! ! !
Common Sense is All one needs - Not Passe' - Shrouded - Man-made creeds
Common Sense ? ? ? - - - Get off thy perch! - Use everyday know-how - plus research!
