Blinded by preconception
metaphysical, religion, or science
Refusing to see the paradigm's deception
On synchronicity, faith, or causation our reliance
There is no truth only what you see
What tells you which government is best
Why do you believe in authority?
what is beautiful, what's the test?
what is good and what is bad
what is right and what is wrong
When to be happy when to be sad
What is a good or bad song
who we should like and who we should hate
You think that the idea is your's
This, your ego may inflate
But no it comes through other doors
Something you saw or something you heard
a teacher a parent upon whom you depend
Someone you trust, a written word
the internet, the news, a friend
If pressed your opinion to defend or maintain
Instead of give its source
“everybody knows that” becomes your refrain
Followed by: “you should know it too, of course”

Zamm! I feel this is directed to Christians, and possibly religion in general, as inferred by the title. But honestly you spoke some truth though. I love the way you challenged morality in this one and I like your brazen tone.
Thank you so much for your review and comments. Yes religion but also science itself that is the religion of today.
Often people become fixed in a way of believing because those around them share a certain view. To think outside that train of thought can become frightening for them. In the case of religions it is often child induced fear which has been instilled in them.
Thank you so much for your review and comments. Yes fear can blind.
