The Supreme Being teaches the faithful to
be kind to others, above all respect others
as you would have done to yourself. Yet
the devout, steeped in the sacred scriptures
of the religion and the Creator they so
venerate holding the sacraments beyond
question display an attitude toward others
not of their faith so spiritually corrosive it
threatens to reveal them as sanctimonious
hypocrites when they revile others' beliefs
and see nothing amiss in spitting venom
on people fixated with adoration on an
other-than-their-own Creator. Religious
polarization each claiming to represent
truth and salvation has been the scourge
of civilization since time immemorial yet
no Spirit on high has seen fit to punish
such transgressors of the authentic word
of the Creator, no heavenly reproach
to return to guidance, instead silence taken
by the sinner to represent godly assent.
