Why must you argue so?
About a god you don't even know,
Perhaps you should let it go.
Fight with your fellow man? No.

You can get through the Golden Gates
If all you breed is fiery hate.
That doesn't have to be your fate,
If you're willing to compensate.

The only thing you get,
Is high blood pressure, I bet.
Religion is not a net
For such an incentiveless set.

My message is quite easy to see,
If you don't want a mental fee.
Then this piece of advice is key,
Live and let live! Jeez!

The author's comments:
I don't know, I personally like this piece. Generally it's sort of the same old stop arguing ordeal.

Faith is like learning to walk; you have to fall at first, but don't stay down. When in doubt, don't stop believing.
