Holy Hustlers

To make supposition appear as fact & justify theft so nobles stay fat To offer tribal groups claims to a sacred legacy are "gifts" religion brings. To provide comfy answers to questions that are deep then obscure hard facts with myths sounding sweet To make phallocentric views appear as right & justify mass slaughter as necessary fights are "blessings" that faiths bring. There are so many "holy" hustlers selling ideologies Will you become intoxicated by their propaganda or resist their persuasive pleas? Too many charlatans use guile & ruse to make others spiritually seduced But as you examine their evidence ask carefully "how much is hustling?"

Carlos:	This sounds like a call to atheism.
Brice:	No - I think it's healthy to look at every religious belief system with scrutiny. Too much nonsense takes place in the name of "faith".
Anya:	Well if you're going to give your heart and soul to a given tradition, you better be sure you're making the right choice. Mature religions are not afraid of questioning.
Brice:	Yes, but more often than not, open questioning is condemned. Deep down, I think religious belief is one of the main causes of brain ossification.
Devani:	(sigh) It needn't be that way. . .
