Who am i?

With this book filled with wisdom
I will tell you how to live your life
With this stone building
I will confine you.

With these promises of honesty
I will tear apart you family
With this speach of passion
I will infultrate the free mind.

With this power over humanity
I will create a fantasy
With this perfect image
I will spread hate.

Trust me if you will
Put faith in me alone
Neglect your instinct
Tear apart your happy home.

This is an interesting read and I guess the answer will be different according to who reads it. For me it was religion - not intended to cause strife but so often descending into fundamentalism. An interesting and thought-provoking read :)

I get the religeous theme as well; what does that say about me?
