Elephant in the room.

How is it
that grown-up people who believe in God
are not receiving gentle re-education
and counselling ?

Why is it
that when people talk about morality and religion
they so rarely point out
that where religions are most active
there is murder and mayhem ?

Since the fourth century
most of the slaughtered millions
perished in the name of religion:
forcible conversions,
exterminations of heresies, crusades,
wars-of-religion, actual genocides
in the name of Jesus,
a beggar like Diogenes, but who,
disastrously, preached Life after death.
