Musings on Belief/ Believe

Suspend belief and believe
Close your eyes and conceive
Heaven and Hell in the sky
Existing somewhere up on high

A King with halo of gold
Sits on a throne- lo and behold
Angels fair both big and small
Float gently at his beck and call

Heaven and Hell Purgatory too
Are all out there waiting for you
He sent a Son of miracle birth
To shepherd everyone on earth

Before He came the creed was rough
Eye for eye and vengeance tough
The Son just opposite did preach
With calm demeaner gentle speech

Then came one with different view
At first he had disciples few
He also had a different claim
God had sent him in his name

His followers like waves and tide
Spread his message far and wide:-
No choice but to accept
The only and the true concept

Rest of the world had other beliefs
Sun, moon, gods, animals and chiefs
Who also thought that they were right
Prepared to defend faith by might

Do you know that all this strife
Waged with saber, gun and knife
Belief in something and someone
Has several times the world undone?

Who is right reader pray tell?
To believe- or go to hell
They all pretend but do not know
Whence we came and where we'll go

Wondering, as this page I leave
This much though I do believe-
Please stay with what you believe
And let no one you deceive

Great advice given my friend, not anyone knows the true essence of your heart, just believe in yourself, and if others don't its not their reality its yours. nicely penned thanks

This is, arguably, the best Christmas poem I've ever read.

I believe that Jesus Christ was a person, like Gandhi, who lived a life that seemed miraculous and was exceedingly kind at a time when his people, the Jews, were in bondage, both by role manned by their own religion, Judaism.

Today is possible to hold those values without blindly believing that Jesus both, rose from the dead and will come back to claim his believers if they just blindly believe.

Too many are giving up on belief in anything other than their selfish survival and what they consider a very dangerous world that they are ready to fight when provoked.
