RELIGION II #CV

At Religion University pupils become Story Tellers
one method of preaching requires aggressive yellers
Confession and Hail Mary's define Catholicism
I'd surmise every religion engages in fanaticism

Bible Thumpers put their own spin on what's meant
the holiest advocates sexually abuse the innocent
I am unable to trust in something inconceivable
putting faith in a puzzling book defies reasonable

Always articulated "if you don't tithe you'll go to hell"
reward for indigence is suffering after death as well
Ministering it seems is more about personal treasure
tax exemption born more churches than census can measure

Not one can definitively say an Almighty is true
or knows what happens when life is through
I get why humans need to believe in a heavenly place
after death hopefully perpetual bliss awaits human race
