The Acid Test: Defining Real And False Believers Poem by Terence George Craddock

The Acid Test: Defining Real And False Believers



Questions were asked.
Often not even real questions.
Answers not really required, sought or desired?
So why ask the questions?
Why even bother to answer?
What is the source motivation?
What are the meaning implications?
By what authority are answers given?

I do not speak
with any authority
from God;
but I could
answer your questions
most answers are easy.

First most of the horrific crimes committed,
against targeted religious groups, cultures,
peoples throughout history; were committed
planned executed done by those loving evil,
obtaining rewards wealth power possessions,
stolen from usually innocent persecuted victims.

Those loving such evil, torturing people
without mercy do not serve God,
do not believe in God,
had nothing to do with God
or God's will.

No religion is perfect.
Why? Because people are not perfect.
All religions contain people imperfect.
A few within all religions will commit
cruel hate crimes with not love but hate.
Religions fail because people are imperfect.

False religion claims to kill torture persecute in God's name.
False religion claims to commit all hate crimes in God's name.
False religion claims abuses power wealth people in God's name.
On judgement day false religion will claim they did this in God's name.
God will declare I never knew them. God is angry they abused his name.
True believers feed the poor heal the sick give peace love in God's name.
