Yeah, religion,
What about it?
The world would be better off without it.
Don’t swear at me in Jesus name,
I don’t play that believing game.
Believe in yours and I’ll believe in mine,
Don’t expect to change my mind.
Pray to your God,
Damn me to hell fire.
If that is what your God desires.
Call me an Atheist,
But that I’m not.
He was forgiving,
Or so I thought.
I believe in my higher power,
You believe in yours.
Now what the hell are we fighting for?

My views on religion is an obvious inspiration, and is what caused me to weave words together to form my thoughts on paper.

Again, thank you so much!

I did visit your profile, but I couldn't seem to locate any of your writing pieces! But as soon as I can find them, I'd be more than glad to read them! Thanks so much!!

Wowee! you said it. I can tell you have a strong feeling about this.... And it obviously makes your writing even stronger.  If you have time, would you mind rating/ giving me some feedback on a few of my works? Thanks.
