Dear Vatican (The Sonnet)You took a man,And turned him savior,You took his love,And vilified her honor.You cooked up stories,And added some magic,Put in a few guilt traps,Everything was copasetic.You sanctioned four books,Buried the rest for blasphemy,For you wanted no one to know,JC was a mortal practicing humanity.You wanna know what is holiness?Burn your bible and rush to the helpless.

Anyone who utters “salvation only through Christ” inadvertently commits to the greatest blasphemy of all, which is differentiation, and this in turn diminishes the very essence of the title Christian.

Any book that claims to be a book of life and love while demanding absolute obedience is but a book of death and degradation.

There are no other heaven and hell outside the human mind. Goodness is heaven, hatred is hell. Acceptance is religion, sectarianism is blasphemy. Love is holiness, discrimination is sin.

When popes and pundits sell faith in the name of divine supremacy, rigidity overrules common sense, and reason is hailed as blasphemy.

Acceptance is religion, sectarianism is blasphemy.

Sin, blasphemy, heresy – all these are primitive ideas created by primitive creatures, unworthy of the title “human”.
