THE LIES THAT LIE
I see the hate and fear in your eyes
If only you would take a look and realize the lies that lie behind your eyes.
the holder of the scripture is the breeder of hate.
He fills you with the misinformation, falsification And fabrication.
you take the bait.
The hate spreads like a virus.
A neurological disease
I am now a demon to the world.
If only you would take A look and realize the lies that lie behind your faithful eyes.
He states "the holder of the scripture is the breeder of hate" when the bible constantly teaches love. Love is not the same as acceptance, because a christian doesn't condone a lifestyle doesn't mean we hate nonchristians. It says also "the hate spreads like a virus".....again i ask what HATE?? while i wanted to beat the author of the poem with a bible, i also wanted tot pray and weep for him. that someone is so oblivious to Christ's existence and better yet, his love. It makes me wish that i could open his eyes and show him Christ's glory. It also makes me wonder how christians portray themselves though. the question rings in my head "Is it maybe partly our fault?" could we really have some of that hate in us? Could we have gotton so rooted in religion that rather our hearts fill with love for the sinner, we are filled with condemnation and hate for the sin and the sinner both?
