Free From Religion

Free From Religion

A Poem by Courtney Hough

Will my parents hate me?
Because I am not of their faith?
My eyes have been open,
But to them I am a disgrace.

Mormon is what their called,
And I am finally free.
No longer chained to sexist belief,
I can finally breath.

That religion ruined me,
Made my husband want to leave for two years.
But was sent home because of “immortality.”
Feeding him nothing but fears.

If they believe in family,
Husband and wife should be the head.
Not one over the other,
Because they are wed.

I’m not less then you,
Nor you more then I.
We both go to heaven or hell,
Not separated when we die.

So mother and father I’m sorry,
I’m finally living and free.
You’ve taught me well in most,
But Mormon is not me.

“So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.” Romans 8:1-2

You belong to Christ not a denomination. Jesus gave his life for you not Joseph Smith, so live free. N.

You know, theres alot of infestation in todays relgioius views, I am a Christian, and many ask, well, what kind of christian? I simply say, a follower of the one who set me free from all confusion and doubts, therefor my life is a blessed one, all thanks to the freedom He gave.

Not trying to say anything against any religions, just that one shouldnt feel tied down to things that just dont equate to freedom and happiness
