Dissect ourselves and spread out our judgmental and hypocritical disease
Hating those that are lost, cursing them as we please
Shall we ever abort the infantile character of shallow
Or shall we keep leading those we fear straight to the death gallows?
Keep the strings of our ridiculous puppet society
Strangle with our 'holier than thou' grasp of false reality
Scaring our children into being ‘saved’
While everything is such a church doctrinaire lie , that lead into their graves
Frighten for only to be a fascism state of lies
Never hearing those of lost scream, beg, and cry
Use those who are scapegoats for our own selfish desires
Only to think that we are just mightier to the ‘Higher”
Always tearing and slicing beating hearts and feelings apart
Tending to kill everything that we love to start
Cancer of control and deceit spill out onto each
Sickness lures into just what we listen and what we preach
No guilt, no shame,
No remorse, no self blame
No self denial, no addictions
No compassion, only righteous, judging, lying, and hypocrite convictions
Never giving a loving heart and hand
To those that are curse and damned
Never to see them cower into seduction that fabricate
Only spit in their faces and laugh at the hell the create
We gain self pleasure of causing harm of sadistic
Always deny the fact of rupture of pathetic
Showing off by pulling a bunny out of our magic hat
While we step upon the soar and wounded backs
Critical, laughable, slurring, such demise
Thinking that we are only gaining to be wise
Fearing everything that is out of reach of comfortable near
Fear will always be till the end, fear will always be here
Our substance abusing
Satan worship, sucidial amusing
Sexually deviant experienced
These children are not the ‘problem’, you only wish
Our murders, liars and thieves
Seductional priests and fallen kings
Morallity hating and swearing lips of false wisdom
These feelings of others are merely a syptom
Our coward and self righteous
Bible thumping and God’s children of disobediences
Blood dripping murders of innocent of old and young
We are the symptoms of were these problems asprung
The selfish desires of watching someone else falling
Yet still to be claimed to be one of the calling
Our Church of Judgments of the lost, just crave the money of the greedy
Welcome to our yet so ‘humble’ Church of the Sin, that mock the needy
Welcome in, more than welcome to join our church
No sinners you’ll ever find in here, go ahead and search
Welcome to our Church of the Sin,
Spreading arms wide open, the inviting of the Christian cowards begin
…You are Welcomed to the Church of the Sin, so it be
Are you going to go on in or are you going to save yourself and me?
Welcome to the Church of the Sin
Are you going to waltz right in?
Author notes
This is a poem that I wrote in hearing upon words by Marilyn Manson whenever he was first budding out into his career. The words that he spoke, I could just tell that he was just hurt and asking for something. He wasn't saying anything in anger, nothing of hate. He was sadly stating the truth of how the Christian church is, and still is.
I am a believer and follower of Christ, don't get me wrong about that! I am just so sick and tired of all the churches/ Christians that do not reach out to anyone- even if they are different. Of course, there are going to be some that reject any help...but we need to start helping the ones that want help, regardless if they are young, old, weird looking, well dressed, or homeless. They are too wrapped up in themselves and wish not to witness to anyone.
Most churches today preach lies and anymore follow church doctrine...scaring people into a false salvation.
Christ is the only salvation- no one can save you, no church can save you, not attending church can save you- only Christ' holy blood can save one from enteral damnation.
I know how some are judged by the church and Christians (I am one who is judged, and I am not ashamed of it anymore), and this is how I feel. I was hurting so much whenever I wrote this today.
Thank you for taking the time to read

This is a very accurate description of what churches are like today.
"only righteous, judging, lying, and hypocrite convictions" This just made me laught at the truth of it all.. the sad truth at that.
Church is like politics, you can't really trust their intentions. Everyone has to make their own choice, but I refuse to go to a church to preaches acceptance and then judges people who are different.
I worship God. That's it. I refuse to worship THE church!!!
Bravo.

Very interesting, the words are set out like an Angelspit song, a very poetic style to them,
It is an interesting write, an it pretty much shows the church for what it truly is, a state of sin an immorality, an I think you told that fact in this piece very, very well
Good work an keep on writing

It is soo true I can see people disliking this but I imagine that many squirm when presented with a truth they do not want to admit to.
I think that it was well written and that it is spot on.

I completely agree with what you have just stated! In my opinion, most churches corrupt peoples minds, and not to criticize any one in particular, but the Catholic church seems to go against so much that's stated in the bible. Such as worshiping false idols, yet there's the Pope whom people worship and what not. And how they tell people they cannot remarry after their spouse as left them because they will be sinning, yet it's okay for their cheating spouse to do so. Ah, enough ranting.
Thank you very much for this wonderful poem, and for entering it into my contest! -
I like the peripheral way it enters the readers thoughts.
There was an anxious feel to it..i really wanted to read where it was going. and before i finished the first stanza it was like a punch in the face.
You were very convincing that you didn't write well so I'm pretty blown away.
I think that's what made it even better cause i wasn't expecting it to be so incredible in its social commentary and dark sarcasm.
I love ..
...scaring our children into being saved.....
Extremely profound.
A prolific and articulate look at the dark side and wickedly cynical.
Well you told a new friend your first lie,
you told me you weren't a poet.
Caught ya fibbin lassie.
I cant wait to read another.
VERY WILD WILD CHILD,

Wow.
Deep as the river of abadon. =]
And burning with truth...
Most folish dogmatic souls will say, "Listen to my way, for it is the right way."
And they only end in war and fire.... no way is the right way.
I loved it, you are very talented.
Thanks for this write, love.

nice

It's nice to see someone defending the ideals of this religion for a change, as opposed to their superficial manifestations of what they assume blindly faith is... Not to offend anyone, I just have seen more often these days that what beliefs or assumptions we hold onto for dear life sometimes has the tendency to end up rotting in our death grip, and we never notice...
So thanks for sharing this lovely poem, you've touched on all the things I thought was "wrong" with the Christian Church (all inclusive, just so I don't discriminate), and shown me that as usual it's the abuse of the system, where the ideals truly do shine on....
peace,

Excellent
I am a Christian as well and it is such a shame that we can't even feel like we belong when so many judge without knowing the truth. This is very well written. You are completely right about churches preaching salvation yet they never open their arms to the lost. You definitely wrote exactly what I'm sure, every non judging Christian feels. GOOD JOB! People need to hear this.

wow, this is powerful! I know about poor Marilyn Manson- thats one of the reasons I dont want to be a Christian! Still very good, deep, and true!

wow

Marilyn Manson huh? lol. It is sad that people have to write things like this! It shouldn't be this way; unfortunately, in a lot of churches, it is! This, once again, is a wonderful work of art! The words were powerful, and the rythm and rhyme worked out beautifully as well! Keep using your gift to speak the truth! Things may get worse before they get better, but things will get better one day! (Even if that day is the day of the second coming.) I love you!
