To have no religion is not the worst

state of mind; many the decent atheist!

But to hold a false faith is less than least;

exalts the foolish, puts the error first.

The ardent skeptic bests the gullible

fanatic, for whom passion’s petrified

into rock, one idea deified,

(or two at most), and never null-able;

never denied by horrid consequence -

genocide, blatant hatred of the Jews

or of Islamic people in the news.

Erase them! Lest they give more than offence.

Shake me not with thought! With ideas risk!

I would become a mindless obelisk!
