My problem with religion is

it makes people complacent

passive

though the Buddha as he lay dying said

"work out your own salvation."

Baptists don't believe in Catholic saints

When I was baptized

a Christian said

what kind ofchurch is that.

A church built of stone and cement

a church near a university

a church which called itself

open and affirming

and yet

when I was elected to the church council

a woman said, to the other white people

"You talk to me thisway

because I am fat and a lesbian."

since then,I go to all churches friends invite me to

but not to witches and wicca

I don't like the donation basket on a long stick, pointed at me even before the preacher preached

I don't like the paster with his own movie company and 11 children

I don't like racist monks

I don't like monks with militias or monks who model robes on a catwalk.

I'm sick and tired. Kyi May Kaung
