Emmanuel?

A bomb exploding across the street
Not considered suicide: he died a martyr.
They died as victims. Innocent.
All in the name of religion…
Religion against religion
Even following the same God and yet bureaucracy rules
To worship in the ‘correct’ way.
Where is the compassion of Christ?
What a world the 21st Century has become-
Women are compared to meat
Clergy are abusing harmless people.
Is it in the name of religion?
Are they following the same thing?
Not much has changed
We are still the same.
It is all for the name of religion…
