What I believe may not be true <br />Until I know it has to do. <br />My personal philosophy <br />Is based not on theology. <br /> <br />But on ideas I have aquired <br /> thoughts my studies have inspired. <br />Ideas which aren’t unique to me <br />Which I have stolen probably. <br /> <br />Adopted would be more correct <br />Which I continue to collect. <br />From anywhere and everywhere. <br />To consider and compare <br /> <br />Eventually I hope to see <br />All men treated equally <br /> <br />I try to keep an open mind <br />about the strange things that I find. <br />That some established churches teach <br />that human souls must do to reach. <br /> <br /> <br />Perfection: Which I can’t accept. <br />Although I try to show respect. <br />To the beliefs that others hold. <br />I don’t believe all I was told. <br /> <br />By people in authority <br />Who had the task of teaching me. <br />What they believed quite honestly. <br />But had no proof to offer me. <br /> <br /> <br />I saw no point in argument. <br />But I withheld my agreement. <br />Although I listened patiently <br />It seemed quite obvious to me. <br /> <br />That what they taught made little sense <br />And silence was my best defence. <br /> <br />Saturday,27 August 2011 <br />http: // blog.myspace.com//poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/theology-is-not-for-me/
