'21st Century Christians' A Poem by Valiantvaliant(m): 1:41pm On Mar 03, 2013
It baffles me
how God created the earth
with us humans residing in it till date
.
It baffles me
a lot of things baffle me
but here's a few for you to see
.
It baffles me
how the last people to come to church
are the first to leave looking at their watch
.
It baffles me
how fans go to watch a football match 30mins early
yet they do so to church very rarely
.
It baffles me
How when a football match goes into extra time the fans watch eagerly
Yet when a sermon goes into extra time they complain bitterly
.
It baffles me
how some students can memorize notes upon notes
Yet they cannot recite 5 simple Bible quotes
.
It baffles me
how some students buy textbooks of N5,000 or more when told
Yet their Bible has the inscription 'NOT TO BE SOLD'
.
It baffles me
how some people spend thousands of naira to buy phones and gadgets
Yet a thousand Naira has never travelled to the offering box via their pockets
.
It baffles me
how some ladies ask whether some modes of dressing are wrong
Yet they don't ask whether standing in front of a moving trailer is wrong.
These things baffle me
They really baffle me.

It baffles me
How your signature shows your love for money
Yet you criticize others, what show of hypocrisy

It baffles me
How one could put so much faith in a book
That has been assembled and twisted by crooks

It baffles me
How one could think his religion the best
When a million others could do that beating their chests

It baffles me
How pastors are easily let to slide
When boys for stealing vegetables die

It baffles me
How these "men of god " they say
Welcome corrupt men to the "holy" grounds to pray

A lot of things baffle me
Just like you
But maybe we will begin to see
When we cease to remain fools

it baffles me how some people misjudge
my signature is a statement not an aspiration
.
i totally didn't dodge
i addressed your 1st insinuation.
It baffles me how some people condemn the Bible
.
claiming it was assembled by crooks
of the Bible i am a proud disciple
.
Too many points to support the fact that its genuine you are just blind when you look
.
let a billion others believe their religion is the best
Everyone is entitled to his opinion
.
I stand by mine and till death i shall attest
even if i am the önly one being opposed by a million
.
As for the corrupt so called men of God i cannot deny
In every 12 there is a Judas
Nevertheless there are those who preach the gospel of truth till they die
that is a fact you cannot deny
.
He who sees the Gospel truth but chooses not to believe everyday
and claims there is no God then April 1st is his day.

Your words speak disorganization
Impromptu poetry is definitely not your occupation
Sit down and relax your mind
Think a little, then maybe atheism you will find

Valiantvaliant: any point to support that?

It baffles me you did not deny such.

It baffles me that you may actually have.

It baffles me what goes on in your head.

Nothing you say or do can make me an Atheist. Get it.

Of course I do my friend, of course
But my only wish is that you take a very different course
Just consider my friend, just reason
Gather knowledge, "think without ceasing"

You might come out an atheist
You might come out a theist
You might come out in between
Maybe even a Satanist

But the most important thing would be
That you seek knowledge
That you seek to be free
