"Dream About The Days To Come" - 6

church today

"How to find Truth"
was the message of the
day. Telling me that
if you believe in what we
teach you will be called
intolerant, narrow-minded,
judgmental.
but
that's
okay
That teaching
tolerance in our school is
corrupting our youth

I dont thinking
tolerance
is the problem.

Notice...the nice ones,
the examples,
like me
are tolerant,
accepting, we dont
judge terribly.
Am I suppose
to be opposite of this?
Are we meant to be this way?
Aren't the corrupted ones
the intolerant,
judgemental,
narrow-minded
shallow, sheltered-from-the-world ones
who honestly think
there is only one
way??????????
Correct me if i'm wrong
but shouldn't God
want us to be tolerant,
to be perceptive to the
realities of the world?
Not brainwashed by
religious propaganda.
It must sicken Him when
he sees the travesties we have
done to each other because
we hate another type of person
and we hide behind God to
be "allowed" to hate them.
because no matter what
you want to call it
even if you want to
approach the "foreigners"
in a nice way
and still change them
then it's still hate
the way i see it.

and you...in India
do they teach their
devotion?
their prayers for the world
for peace
for our
own devotion.
Will they burn
in hell because
they are saying the
wrong prayers?
or aren't a certain way
or accepting of the way
the creator created?
tell me
i pray for you
over there and
i pray you might
find the solace
their lives teach
that you are in the midst of
and that i am forced away from
Stuck in their
"christian white nation"

just last week
i taught with my
talents against
everything they
taught me today...

i won't believe it.
nice try.
