Theology is not for me!

rhyming quatrains double sonnet

Theology is not for me.

 

What I believe may not be true

Until I know it has to do.

My personal philosophy

Is based not on theology.

 

But on ideas I have aquired

 thoughts my studies have inspired.

Ideas which aren’t unique to me

Which I have stolen probably.

 

Adopted would be more correct

Which I continue to collect.

From anywhere and everywhere.

To consider and compare

 

Eventually I hope to see

All men treated equally

 

I try to keep an open mind

about the strange things that I find.

That some established churches teach

that human souls must do to reach.

 

 

Perfection: Which I can’t accept.

Although I try to show respect.

To the beliefs that others hold.

I don’t believe all I was told.

 

By people in authority

Who had the task of teaching me.

What they believed quite honestly.

But had no proof to offer me.

 

 

I saw no point in argument.

But I withheld my agreement.

Although I listened patiently

It seemed quite obvious to me.

 

That what they taught made little sense

And silence was my best defence.

You hit the mark with this one. I follow many writers works and listen as plainly as I can but still I find myself questioning my views as others sometimes fail to see. There is no argument when the argument is one sided. I'm tired of hearing what man says that God meant by what God said. I'm not so dum that I can't hear God for what he is saying. I've been called an un-believer because I do not accept others views of what is right or wrong. The cause is understandable. But inside I know I'm not all wrong. I'm now on a soap box and must get down. Great write my friend.
