CONCLUSION
The Bible sings allegories, not chains to bind—
Leaders, like clerics of old, twist and burden minds.
This cycle’s reign must end its time.
Faiths clutch shards—Christians break sin’s curse with cross divine,
Muslims name Jesus prophet true, Jews ‘Love your neighbor’ oft decline,
Hindus spin ancient wisdom’s lore, Buddhists weave rebirth’s endless line.
No creed holds truth’s full shine.
Humility and love set free—transgender, queer, by zeal maligned,
Hate stains us all, a sin’s cruel sign.
Love reigns, unites supreme—no mask of care can harm design,
Pharisees’ guile cuts mercy’s core—Golden Rule is righteousness fine.
REFLECTION
Christians grasp faith’s shield—pause, reflect anew,
Power bends it cold, a husk of what’s true.
Jesus called for hands to heal, for outcast’s due,
Not flight from wounds that bleed and stew.
Salvation flows for all—no hell to chain our view,
Cycles turn through love, not faith’s still pew.
1.Religious Allegories vs. Literal Interpretation: The conclusion asserts that the Bible (and religious texts in general) contain allegories, rather than literal rules. These allegories are meant to teach lessons, but religious leaders often manipulate them to control or oppress others. 2.Breaking the Cycle of Religious Oppression: It calls for an end to the cycle of religious leaders using faith to justify harmful actions, such as discrimination and exclusion, highlighting that many faiths contain valuable insights but are often misused. It emphasises that true spirituality transcends dogma. 3.Universal Truths Across Religions: The piece acknowledges the wisdom in all major religions: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, each contributing different truths. However, no single religion holds the full truth, and the message is that humility, love, and compassion are the true keys to spiritual liberation. 4.The Importance of Love: Love is presented as the central message of all spiritual teachings, and the work of true religion is about uniting people, regardless of their differences. It criticises religious bigotry and affirms the equality of all people, including marginalised groups like transgender and queer individuals. 5.Reflection on Christian Faith: The reflection directs Christians to reconsider their understanding of faith. The focus should not be on personal salvation, but on active compassion and service to others. The idea is that salvation is about collective healing and love, not just individual belief.
