(A paper from a series i wrote for english class)
Dear God,
Your religion has
crafted the very people you created into bringers of death and
pervaders of hate; turned the very spreaders of your word into
destroyers of innocence. Your followers have picketed the funerals of
soldiers, brought violence against the homosexual community, bombed
abortion clinics, sold religion on television, and raped children in
your own houses of worship while using your name as a shield.
Why would the one
who (lovingly) created us allow these atrocities to go on unchecked?
The Westboro Baptist Church picketed the funeral of Matthew Snyder
holding up signs that read “Thank God For 9-11” and “God Hates
Fags.” This doesn't seem like something I learned in church.
Another one of your followers – while proclaiming his Roman
Catholic faith – blew up several abortion clinics, killing
innocent people and hurting many others in his offerings to you. With
one hand you threaten to banish us to Hell while you feed your
priests more altar boys with your other hand. Something inside me
will not let me believe that the grand plan for these little boys was
to be raped by the men who are more closely connected to you than
anyone else. Your book and word has bred hate into the hearts of
people so successfully that gay bashing is an accepted after church
activity. Since when is it right to beat someone to death because
they are “living in sin”? Your churches have become hulking
behemoths of capitalism built on the dollars of guilt ridden sheep in
hopes of walking hand in hand with you and your son. There is no
reason that money and faith should be connected in any way. Your
method of religion is bought and sold while your leaders expand their
own empires in a form similar to Hitler's Nazi Empire. Your allowance
of these crimes against humanity itself have effectively refused
people the very punishment bestowed upon them after being purged from
The Garden Of Eden – and still you do nothing. The people who
represent you have and continue to: kill innocent people, destroy
lives, spread hate, dilute meanings, judge each other, and dine at
the table of hypocrisy, all while wiping their disgusting mouths with
your name; yet you do nothing to stop it.
If you ask Charles
Manson if he ever killed anyone he will say that no, he never did. If
you ask his followers why they did what they did, they will most
certainly say he told them to do it; the same way your followers will
say that you told them to do it. There is a greater good somewhere
inside all men, but this cult following of a terrorist and his deity
of a creator has all but extinguished the loving hand inside every
man's soul; traded instead for a method of trampling on each other,
praying on the weak and poor, pushing their terror with the pages of
your book and using it as a shield to block their true intentions
while maintaining your gracious support. You did this. You made us,
then abandoned us when things didn't go your way. I believed there
was something out there that meant for man kind to care for each
other, instead I was force fed lies and told to behave or else I
would burn in Hell for all eternity. What I wasn't told was that the
very religion I was being force fed was the creator of all hate and
war, and used as an unlubricated condom to buttfuck a twisted sense
of enlightened morality into me. I want no part of that.

work to see? I hope not.
