Voice of Golden Eagle’s poem I Am Not a Christian delivers a powerful message on spiritual independence. For those seeking a personal connection with the divine, this poem speaks to the heart. It’s about stepping outside traditional religious labels to embrace an authentic relationship with Creator.

Some years ago while exploring the history of atrocities against humanity by the Christians and Christian countries, I discovered this poem somewhere on the Internet. You may read my commentary here.
I Am Not a Christian
When I say… “I am not a Christian”
I’m not arguing about your religion.
I’m whispering “Creator never lost us,
And there’s nothing to be forgiven.”When I say… “I am not a Christian”
I mean that I trust Creator to guide me.
What I’ve found inside your churches
Aren’t the truths Creator placed in me.When I say… “I am not a Christian”
It’s not a question of right and wrong
Even as your rabid evangelism
Uses my traditions as a joke
To trample on.When I say… “I am not a Christian”
There’s no trick, no trap, no test.
Just saying “In my eyes you failed,
And in the name of your God
You have made this mess.”When I say… “I am not a Christian”
I’m not claiming to be the enemy,
But your claws are far too visible
As you pretend to be a friend to me.When I say… “I am not a Christian”
I feel your stares like a lash’s pain
From your culture so entrenched
In taking what I believe in vain.When I say… “I am not a Christian”
It’s not any kind of invitation
For you to question my beliefs
I owe no mortal an explanation.When I say… “I am not a Christian”
I’m not saying I’m holier than thou,
We BOTH have Creator inside us
And you’ll open your eyes
Someday,
Somehow.– Voice of Golden Eagle
