Savages From The Dark Ages
Savages from the Dark Ages
In the guise of religious fanatics.
Want to put us all in straitjackets
Using obscene tactics.
Stabbing, shooting and torturing
Anyone whose does not believe.
Brainwashed religious morons
Offering no-one a reprieve.
Conditioned from birth
To believe in an intolerant tale.
As if killing for a fictitious god
Would save them from fictious hell.
Beliefs from the dawn of time
Persist to this day
As babies are abused –
Imprinted with the same old cliché.
Brought up on texts
From Ignorant times
They go out primed
To commit horrendous crimes.
We’ll fight for free speech
And the right to offend.
Blind belief is an obscenity,
An imprisoning dead end.
Fanatical religion has its place –
In the dustbin of time.
We’ve come far too far
To believe in this nursery rhyme.
They’ve tried to kill Rushdie
And silence intelligent debate.
Religion is about power
Imposed from the caliphate.
Blasphemy is a right
And certainly not an offence.
Criticising an evil is prime!
So let the battles commence!
Rights and freedoms
Are the result of much blood and courage!
No brainwashed savages
Will succeed in creating prisons for our age!
A person is free to believe
Whatever they please.
But imposing it on others
Is nothing short of a disease.
I have the right to disagree;
To say your god’s a lie.
If that should offend you
Then it’s you who must ask why!
To kill someone for their beliefs
Is simply obscene –
Based on a religious text
Straight out of the Miocene.
So you can take your religion
And stuff it somewhere other.
I’ll criticise what you believe
As if I was your brother.
You can try to rule the world
And crush dissent with might.
But you will be defeated.
Killing is never right!

I have watched the stabbing of Salman Rushdie with horror.
For me this is exactly what religion is about – fear, hate, division and death.
These religions are relics of tribal beliefs from the stone-age – steeped in misogyny, violence and draconian control.
A plague upon them all.
The whole bunch of Abrahamic faiths are based on the beliefs of a bunch of ignorant nomadic tribes from prehistoric times.
THIS IS THE 21st CENTURY!! Time to end superstition!
The sooner mankind grows out of these fairy-tales the better.
It should be illegal to indoctrinate children. It’s child abuse!
These brainwashed fanatics are a danger to us all. If they had their way we’d be living in a world of clones where free speech and creativity would be punishable.
Give me freedom!
Long live Salman Rushdie.
