VIEWS FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF FENCE
Nearly every day the site carries poetry in praise of religion but I can’t recall seeing anything written from a humanist perspective so I thought I’d reverse the trend if only for one day with these shorties which come to me in fits and starts. There is no offence intended any more than offence is intended by the religious poets who contribute here.
1)
Humanist views are rarely defended
so that believers can’t claim they’re offended.
(2)
The bible is true
Oh! But not the parables
Subtle cherry picking
(3)
For all the good things, praise be to god
but not the bad things, now isn’t that odd.
(4)
Why do they quote from
a book of assertions
when asked for the facts?
(5)
Christian, non-Christian
believer, non-believer
religious, non-religious
So derogatory
So negative.
Humanist, non-Humanist
agnostic, non-agnostic
atheist, non-atheist
that’s better
(And note the capital ‘H’ )
