Christianity according to Non-Christians

Accept Jesus as the only way.
For Adam's apple, you needn't pay.
Go out and preach your way
No matter what others have to say.
Tackle the poor at first.
Serve and bribe to convert.


Hinduism according to Non-Hindus

Pick a myth and a deity that strikes your fancy.
Worship and make pledges for favors and mercy.
Pick an Avatar or a Guru, dead or alive, to follow
Give in to your passions just as anyone else would
But may you not forget to behave on the whole
So you won't come back as an a-ss or an as-shole.


Islam according to Non-Muslims

The Qur'an is your guide.
Interpret it as you wish and glide.
Treat the infidels the way you think is right.
Allah will wait in heaven to treat you just.
Convert by threat, sword or other means.
Allah is on your side no matter how you do.


Judaism according to Non-Jews

Abraham and Moses are okay for you to like
But never Jesus or Muhammad for God's sake.
Don't buy anything that isn't on sale.
You might need in heaven what you save.


Yoga and Mysticism according to Atheists

Stand up on your head for days on end
Or go on daily doses of hashish or heroin.
Practice bizarre sex not for pleasure
But with the Goddess in mind.
Transcend your mind any way you can.
You are on your way to enlightenment then.


Zen Buddhism according to Non-Buddhists

Why can't a cat be a dog and bark?
Why can't you clap with one hand?
What's wrong with cheating on your wife?
Contemplate and get enlightened.
