Ode to the Atheist

In the fires of hell I was told I would burn,

If I didn't accept Christ,

There were reasons why I doubted because some of what I was taught I didn't think was right,

I had questions to why rules ,

Why verses were written,

Why parts of the bible appeared the way they did,

But my questions were unanswered,

My reasons were silenced,

Just accept Jesus Christ many told told me,

And the more they said it I denied it,

The more I told people the more hurt I became,

Because people couldn't empathize how my Atheism came,

The people who changed me were only the few people who would listen,

Why I doubted in God,

Why I lived without religion,

I'm Christian now but it took so long to be,

If only more people would have listened to why I doubted, it wouldn't have taken so long to see.
