Imagine

What is religion?
From what I was told
Religion is rules.
Religion is something that suppose to make our world put in order.
Religion is something that supposes to make our world peaceful.

The unfortunate thing is
Human beings are so great
That they have succeeded to change something with such a noble intention into the axis of evil.

The one thing that all religions
That I know of at least, taught is for us to love.
They never tell us to kill, hate, or discriminate one another.

And yet what we see today
We kill each other FOR THE SAKE OF RELIGION
We hate each other FOR THE SAKE OF RELIGION
We discriminate one another FOR THE SAKE OF RELIGION.

When we call our brother names, it’s in the name of our God.
When we point our sword to our sister, it’s because God wants us to.
Every now and then we declare our crusade.
Do you really believe that God wants us to be the way we are?
To kill
To hate

Everyday, someone will say
You don’t pray the same way as I do
You don’t go to the same pray house as I do
We can’t be friends.
No, we can’t share the same planet.
Because you don’t believe in the same God as I do.”


Isn’t that ridiculous?

So what is religion?
And why does it have to define us.

If there’s no such thing as religion
Will the world be a better place?

Like John Lennon once said,
“and the world will be as one.”
