Leave the hate behind

Strange I know but one day in April 2008 I woke up at 2 in the morning with all this stuff in my head! I had to grab paper and pen and write it all down. I believe in God and say my prayers but I am not a fan of 'organised religion', hopefully the words in my song explain the way I feel. God is known by various names, but whatever you call Him, I don't think He would be happy to see some of things being done in His name.

ORGANISED RELIGION, A CURSE UPON MANKIND
WHY CAN'T WE JUST LOVE OUR GOD AND LEAVE THE HATE BEHIND
AND LEAVE THE HATE BEHIND


THE JEWS AND PERSECUTION THEY GO HAND IN HAND
BUT EVEN THEY MADE ISRAEL FROM SOMEONE ELSE'S LAND
THE FOLLOWERS OF ZION, MURDERED IN THEIR MILLIONS
TREAT THEIR NEIGHBOURS CRUELLY, ASK THE PALESTINIANS


CATHOLICS AND PROTESTANTS, HINDUS AND SIKHS
THE FOLLOWERS OF ISLAM, ALL HAVE THEIR GOD OF PEACE
HOW COME WE HAD THE CRUSADES, THE SPANISH INQUISITION
PREACHERS OF ALL DIFFERENT FAITHS, ALL MEN ON A MISSION


WE HAVE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES AND LATTER DAY SAINTS
BAPTISTS AND METHODISTS, SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS
AIN'T IT JUST GREAT?


YOU SAY PRAYERS TO YOUR GOD, I'LL SAY PRAYERS TO MINE
YOU CAN ARGUE 'BOUT WHAT TO CALL HIM BUT I WON'T WASTE MY TIME
I PROMISE NOT TO HARM YOU OR INVADE YOUR SPACE
IF ONLY WE COULD COMPROMISE, THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE


IF YOU'VE NO-ONE TO PRAY TO, YOU'RE AN ATHEIST MY FRIEND
HOW YOU TREAT YOUR FELLOW MAN, ON MUCH WILL DEPEND
IF YOU LIVE A GOOD LIFE, I BELIEVE IT'S TRUE
IF YOU'RE A SOUL WORTH SAVING, HE WILL LOOK FOR YOU

ORGANISED RELIGION, BIGOTRY AND SORROW
THE POOR MAKE THEIR DONATIONS SO THE CHURCH CAN EAT TOMORROW
ORGANISED RELIGION, A CURSE UPON MANKIND
WHY CAN'T WE JUST LOVE OUR GOD AND LEAVE THE HATE BEHIND
AND LEAVE THE HATE BEHIND

I reckon you should sell your lyrics to some pop music artists that are trendy and will start changing people one by one. Maybe one day we will all think for ourselves and not be lead by some dickhead who says they are speaking the words of "our god(s)"

To see how so many people have been indoctrinated by one 'faith' or another is frightening. I believe we should all be able to grow and develop our own ideas, accept that there are many differences between us but learn to get along. I don't want to try to force-feed anyone else to think as I do. All the best.

I love this song. :)

[artoisdude]

Love our God? what God? how do you know anything about god? oh wait,.... could it be he left us his word in the bible? if you dont stand for something your gonna fall for anything. Jesus died for your sins my friend and i say that in love, not hate. John 3:16 He died for you. Wether you accept or reject is up to you....but there is no greater love than a man who would lay down his life for us. Dont forget that.

I agree with you absolutely, it would be a better world if more people thought the same way. BTW this is 'artoisdude' --- I've had problems with You Tube/Google (apparently thousands of others are having the same problem) and can't get into my own channel. I've had to create another channel and am slowly 'migrating' to it --- I'm putting all the videos on it --- you can find it by searching for Martin Harney. All the best.

We are all here together and need to learn that, you are right. All this muslim hating, right wing christian, zionist jew bullshit is destroying humanity. I grew up catholic and even though I believe in Jesus and that he was a real man that was here. I dont think that is cause to seperate me from others and start wars over who is right or wrong.

[Gravelandart]

It's guys like this jerk playing this stupid song that cause the "hate".
