Beliefs by writerforever
We fight and kill one another
All in the name of God
Saying we're defending Him
We hate others who don't believe as we do
We despise those who are different from us
We try to get everyone 'saved'
And claim to love everyone
But at the same time
We despise those we disagree with
We hate those who lead different lives
We strike down those who we think are wrong
All in the name of love
"For God we do this," we say
We seem to forget
The real meaning of Christianity
While we stone the gays
While we stone the different religions
While we stone the different races
While we stone the drug addicts
While we stone the alcoholics
While we stone the prostitutes
While we stone every non- Christian
And sometimes even our fellow Christians
We forget all about Jesus Christ
And what he stood and died for
It all can be summed up
In one beautiful word
Love
"Love thy neighbor as thyself"
We forget all about that verse
In our anger and hate
We forget to love
We forget to share the message
The message of love
Love is every true Christian's belief
Love is my belief
Love, don't hate
