Ah, but I'm asked more than enough times
why I keep knocking man's belief systems,
those sanctified beliefs that to any observer
work so well, produce so much of love and joy.

Let's look at religion - that plethora of beliefs in God:
what most amazes me: the unreserved love
adherents of one religion have for the others:
this is especially true of Christianity --
how heart warming to see so much compassion
for others of different faiths;
to see individuals give everything they possess
to help those who hate them... so I observe.

Let's look at man's money system:
a paragon of virtue wherever it rules --
see how the poor are clothes and fed and housed
when the bankers and businessmen walk into town!
See how people are taken in, given employment
and their children given free day care
while mothers enjoy time at work,
a sweet daily break from the endless cares of home.
Yes, this too, I see every day.

And what should I say of man's governments?
Truly this is where justice rules and just laws made;
where anyone with a grievance finds selfless help
from those who call themselves public servants.
Here I know I'll never see selfish men;
here there never will be found a greedy woman
for as one, all politicians have but one thing at heart:
to see the people happy, healthy and wealthy
all across the land. And so it is observed.

May man's belief systems continue to rule and prosper!

Ah, yes, my friend, you have seen much of the damage done by the organizations of which you speak so your sarcasim is well placed and well said...I too have witnessed much harm done and studied the harm that has been done throughout history...but...I have also met many who belong to those same organizations whose hearts are in the right place and who have done what they can in their small way to be helpful to those you speak of...I realize that there is great harm done but I also realize that there are wonderful people who do great good...I know for a fact that I could not have survived all I have in this life without my holding strong to my belief in God as I know Him to be for me...Your words are right in that they speak the truth...but...also know there are many who give their all to help others...witness the love that flows on these blue pages...can only one person make a difference...yes...we see it everyday as one persons words inspire another person to help in some small way...often your words inspire me to do more...**big hug**

As always...there are good cops and bad cops...lately it seems to be leaning the other way...or...were things more hidden before and is this a time when all things will be revealed...James
