Disappointment in the shrine
You don't qualify

A doctor with simple good news
A bold diagnosis
"He is a religious fanatic"
"Go back home and do whatever he tells you"
Increasing knowledge and growing discomfort
Searching the scriptures
The scriptures were so simple
The conflict comes into focus
One or the other was wrong
On a collision course with a choice
Seeking the counsel of others
The light breaks through
"Hey doc is this really true"
This time it was real
Something inside me changed
An operation, a prayer and a hurricane
