a unity in belief I have never understood or experienced

Religion is to spirituality what cuisine is to food. Perhaps.

A story and code of morals from deities requiring worship

So much tragic loss and pain over a fairy story.

fearful men's desperate attempts to make something out of nothing

A code of morality people follow with all their heart

Strength, guidance, compassion, for those who seek away loneliness, pain.

Dead words,

Dead laws,

Dead works,

Without Love,

All dead.

Terrified

Dying for a dead man

Scrambling for a savior

Soul gagging

Fear hawkers

Spiritual cross-fit

Killer of weak wills
