Fear Religious Political Inquisitions Poem by Terence George Craddock

strangely few western woman batted an eyelid
female Hollywood stars had lipstick nothing to say
when cruel Islamic State abused tortured women
when it came to the sacred civil rights of women
in some really nasty terrible places in the world
Hollywood was not hall of Fame but hall of Shame
strangely few western woman batted an eyelid
while their middle eastern sisters were raped cried

Christianity also spawned a few dangerous cults

Spanish Inquisition targeted persecuted Indians
in North and South America heretics defined as
Jews Muslims innocent victims wealth robbed
land dispossessed tortured for the good of their
souls thugs worse than rivals Catholic Inquisition
Roman Inquisition Portuguese Inquisition all nasties

news flash no religion can be perfect because people
are not perfect imperfect people stain their religions
imperfect people shame religions imperfect people
nasty cause people to hate despise detest religions
fault lies not with a religion but people hypocrites
believe themselves angels while acting like demons

but beware do not be mistaken atheists
also number good and nasty people
atheism is rejection of belief in god
or supernatural beings claimed based
on reason evidence personal experience

atheists are the believers in not believing
atheists their religion is not believing
atheists a religious belief in not believing
the statement I believe there is no god
is strangely a religious belief denying god
only agnostics have no religious beliefs

agnostics do not deny the existence of God
agnostics claim one cannot know for certain
agnostics claim we cannot know if God exists
agnostics maintain that nothing is proven known
agnostics nothing can be known of God's existence
agnostics nothing can be known of the nature of God

agnostics God the divine supernatural is unknown unknowable

agnostics know nothing nothing which means something

agnostics taking a stand to not believe in anything

atheists claim cannot see God
so God cannot be real but a few flies
in atheist arguments you cannot
see love so is it real? you cannot see
radio waves television waves so not
real bacteria virus not real killing you?

colour blind there is no colour?
deaf there is not sound?
blind there is no sight?

strangely a few atheists are kinda nasty
casting themselves into God figures
strutting across world stage adorned

idolized worshipped demanding party
obedience worship in political dictatorships
Lenin Stalin Hitler Mussolini Chairman

Mao Kim Jong-un all have a time
in lime light spotlight it could be claimed
such figures can sow whirlwind

troubles we digress back to 2016 putting ISIS
under the microscope it was correctly stated

''We are fighting a terrorist organization,
a barbaric organization that is killing innocent
people. We are not fighting a religion''

this is a simple truth; why do so few realize this? ? ? ?

rule 101 political leaders dictators use politics
to use abuse power; religious leaders use religion
to use abuse power; ISIS was not fighting a war

between religion and ideologies ISIS was misusing
religion creating their own ideologies we are not
in the middle ages but middle age mindsets bubble

into power when the cauldron boils and bubbles
it was not a war on terror it was a war against
brainwashed profitable cult groups theme repetition

strutting across world stage adorned idolized
worshipped by brainwashed follower warriors
including 1 2 a few thugs cowards rapists murders

it was a war against brainwashed religious
profitable cult groups who use religion
as an ideological shield to gain power to

commit crimes against humanity with immunity
