A loving god

Face found in the wood grain of an old fence paling

The most beautiful thing I know, is the concept of a god that loves, listens and absolves my sin. Surely a god that offers hope is man's most beautiful creation, because I want to believe it's real...

Prayer

Dear God,
I may not believe in you
but I still talk to you for:
it makes me feel good;
it makes my words feel heard; and sometimes I find answers. Isn't that reason enough?

Faith

The meaning is believing that believing is enough, for faith is what we have instead of God. I've long sought to make sense of life but rationalism leaves little room for hope. And so I yearn for more. I yearn for a hope that cannot be reasoned.

Forsaken

Yesterday I said a prayer
to a god that wasn't there.
I said my prayer again today,
I'm sure it wished I'd go away.

Pestilence

Like a plague it swept the world and in its wake seeds of doubt, for the only real message was the flaws of faith: I am wrath, I am war, I am the god of it all. Everywhere but nowhere, there is no god but God and even then not even, for there is no God at all.

Save thyself

Physician, heal thyself. Priest, save thyself. Manifest your own hope.

Forgiveness

God and forgiveness
are a business of the living,
for the dead don't care.

Doubt

What is the root cause of atheism? The time for reflection made possible by financial freedom?
