The Evil Face Of Religion

Dike Chinedu

Since the dawn of humanity, the annals 
of Religion are littered with awful tales.
Sacred scriptures have blessed lives —
and maimed them.

Sophistic doctrine breeds dreadful hostility.
Often where Religion is strong — cruelty 
reigns, as fanatics under 'total submission' 
commit atrocities through blind devotion.

A close look at religious democides
suggests jamborees of genocides —
bloodlettings from which Atheism
recoils in its state of ungodliness.

On the faith mission to fulfill a divine goal, 
Religion is torn between good and evil.
Slaying from age to age in the name of God, 
hands of zealots are left defiled with blood.
