This is by far the longest poem I’ve ever written. It’s available on video at my YouTube channel here but I wanted to put out the text itself.
It’s not exactly brilliant poetry although I hope it’s not actually terrible. It is heartfelt though. This narrative poem describes my journey into and out of Christianity. Here I describe the cynical, opportunist exploitation of the evangelist, preying upon the desperate, the grief stricken and the depressed. I explain, at least in principle the not so subtle ‘carrot and stick’ trap that leads people to abandon actual knowledge in favour of bronze age stories written by people who genuinely didn’t know where the sun went at night.
Finally I explain how integrity and intellectual honesty can lead a person out of the dogmatic prison of Christianity and the blatant profiteering of religious organisations.
