I Have Converted... Have You?

Another day and another reminder of how the religious fascist continue to run amok in our country. Yes, it is also another reminder to those of you who loyally support the regime that allows these religious nazis to thrive. Maybe you're one of those still blindly faithful to the regime, but as I said some time ago, I have converted....

I have converted from being disappointed to being dismayed…
with politicians who allow religious zealots to make a mockery of faith

I have converted from being indifferent to being disgusted…
as politicians allow children to be exploited as pawns by religious zealots

I have converted from being tired to being utterly fed-up…
as religious zealots highjack secular institutions all in the name of God

I have converted from being disgusted to being down-right irate…
that religious zealots think they know how God would like us to lead our lives

I have converted from being embarrassed to being shocked…
at how religious zealots have made a mockery of the notion of civility

I have converted from being sceptical to being ashamed…
at how certain politicians have shown no regard for reigning in religious zealots

I have converted from being ambivalent to being resigned…
to the fact that religious zealots and certain politicians are nothing but opportunists

I have converted to being afraid that some politicians are willing to undermine our civic and secular foundations for politician expediency.

Perhaps we’ll all someday learn that it is not so-called religious 'deviationists' that we should fear, but rather religious zealots.

Every sensible and decent Malaysian, irrespective of one's religious affiliation, should be disgusted by these religious nazis.

I have converted…

...not from one organised religion to another,
but I have converted.
