Godeology Poem by Gunde Narsing Rao

In this poem I want to express that if you have faith, god resides in you. That manifests through your character and charisma. Then what is different between god and faith and religion. If somebody believes that god is there, then that is 'belief'. To trust that God is there and because whom entire mankind and creation resulted and that is cause for somebody's existence; this is called a belief in God. This succeeds faith; because, when somebody has fear of god, eventually, listens to priests or theological canons to trust and follow with undented faith, here, belief, drives somebody's faith in the name of God and his preaching through priests. Belief as driver exists in faith drives followers to its logical end. To reach through theological practices under supervision of canon and its orators/interpreters, usually, priests execute a structure for followers of faith in God are called Religion. Religions we see its grandeur due to its external manifestations and age old practices that handed down from generations in a peculiar manners which carries the aura of faith and the sprinkles the purity of Gods message unchanged. That controls the faith following, hence, the huge crowd of faith through a structure called religions.

If anyone think among God, Faith and Religion dented due to impure inculcations through either canonical 'amendments' or 'priestly power politics' over religious authority to control faith following and its innocent godly followers, may lead to catastrophic consequences. Even though religious structure maintained for the sake of authority and false grandeur without God and Faith; that structure becomes a power center against the established legitimate state and result in unrest and social dilemma finally lead a chaotic social structure that culminate in a pseudo-state which always strives to parallel the legitimate state and the God, faith and its followers turn into scape-goats for 'selfish religious' forces. That's why a true believer has faith in God and for him follows religions and follows his conscience on God and even privately practice faith and by self, follows Religious practices on own.
