Today’s new religion?

Today’s new religion?

A Poem by Gerry Legister
"

Our focus on religion has changed drastically

"

The old religious campaign has gone

Technology we could not imagine has done

We're becoming a more enlightened society

Advance in science go beyond philosophy

It is a new religion driven human being

Taking amazing opportunity to dream

That the world is becoming more compatible

Finding unconventional ideas among the ineligible

Faith in schools has effectively

Divided children into finding creative discovery

In terms of mixed race and religion

Uniformity inspiring some assumption

But attitudes is still a little worrying

The more we discover what people have to say

Technology gives us something else to dream

About the cultures we believed in

Spoilt for choice with different concept taken

Making mankind universal Unitarians

Most people believe in neither God nor man

Where are we today with this new religion?

Do we really care if the path taken is important?

Leaving the past to discover a new religion

Where technology is the key of a new beginning

I choose to worship God in Heaven. Once a person has really found HIM, they will choose Him every time. I pity those who have nothing to believe in. Valentine

It is my two cents worth that science, religion, and history should support & verify one another, and when they do not one, the other, or all, are in error ... Some will today advocate that organized religion is the root cause of all wars, when in fact only 7% of wars historically were waged over direct matters of religion ... I am a Science Minded, Hebrew Oriented, Creationist that clearly sees the tampering hand of man's within the world's popular organized religion ... However, that tampering hand does not nullify the absolute necessity that there must be, without any doubt, a Creative Source of all that is & will ever be ... After all, the universe did not simply pull itself out of its own arse (no blasphemy or offense intended) ... In today's modern technological world, in people's attempts to flee or negate organized religion, mankind--in the form of SELF--has become religion unto himself in the form of worshiping mankind as a whole as God, and worshiping the individual as a smaller segment of that universal man is God concept ... I fear that technology's new beginnings shall inevitably bring about a dire ending for us as a species who shall come to find that we are creations and not Creators, for all we are able, sadly, to create upon this planet is chaos, death, disaster, and destruction ... History would not repeat itself endlessly with nothing learned, if we should ever set our minds to learning from the past and all of its lessons to be taught those with willing hearts and minds ... Interesting viewpoint and a thought provoking write ...
