This is my God. There are many like it but this one is mine.

The God's Creed (based on the Rifleman's Creed from Full Metal Jacket):

"This is my god, there are many like it but this one is mine.
My god is my best friend. He is my life. I must know Him as I know myself.
My god without me, is nothing. Without my god, I am nothing.

I will believe my god be true, I must believe better than my enemy who has a different god,
I must believe in my god better than he believes in his…. I will.
My god and I know what counts in religion is not the evidence we have,
the soundness of our logic, nor the voice of reason.
We know that it is faith that counts. We will have faith…

My god is human, just as I, it’s how I can relate to Him.
Thus I will never learn about Him more than I’m told at church,
never learn of His weaknesses, His strengths, His character, His history,
His origins and His followers.
I will ever guard Him against the ravages of atheists and heathens.
I will keep my god clean and moral, even as I am clean and moral.
We will become part of each other. We will…

Before god I swear this creed, my god and I are the defenders of my religion,
we are the masters of other religions, we are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until there is no other denomination but my own."

This poem is based on the concept that Religions are Unreliable.
