Thoughts for a sunny sabath

Mine are gold and they built the earth in six days
Their representative came to the earth as the baby of a  virgin.
He was executed because of the threat he represented.
He was called the son of God,  he could do miracles and this God is more important than any other god.
Worshipers of other gods are misguided and inferior.

Mine are orange
Their leader has a beautiful body
Neither male nor female
Modelled with many postures and physiques.
His name is Buddha and he was once an ordinary man with a wife and children before be left them to become Lord Buddha

I am a theist
I am atheist
What Color Are Your Fairies?

I am Hindu
I am Shia
I am Jewish
I am christian, Catholic, protestant, baptist, episcopal, anglican, lutheran, calvinist the more confusing subdivisions the better.
I am suni
I am Buddhist
I am Muslim
I am Islam
I am kurd

We all know who the lord is and we all believe we got it right and the best thing to do with the others is to kill them whenever possible.

I know I am ignorant when it comes to poetry, but I was under the impression that there should be at least a little structure to indicate that something is a poem, that seems more like the outline for a powerpoint presentatio about religion with some of the bullet points expanded and some of the others yet to be completed. Perhaps it was awaiting the input of the Hindu, Shia, Jewis etc epxerts as to their colour and dieties. As far as I know Shia, and Sunni are subsets of Muslim, Kurd relates to a geographical area and Buddhists don't condone killing anything!

as the poet I am free to define my own structure
the point here is that there is little or no structure to the religions of the world. Just a lot of silly names for ridiculous professed beliefs.
Christians don't condone killing either but, over the years they've done quite a bit of it.
