Benefits of being an Atheist
I know that believing in God is NOT necessary to be a good person, it is possible to be moral and have good values without believing in God.
I can embrace new scientific theories about human origins, without being saddled with the belief that a god created everything.
I’m free from church hierarchy telling me what I can and can’t do.
I can embrace a woman’s right to make choices when it comes to her own body.
I don’t have to give my money to a church, so that the pastor can afford his own personal jet, home, mistresses, children or any other...

Death and Tea
On a gray autumn afternoon,
death knocked on my door
with a serene smile. Without delay
I asked: "Come in, don't stay outside."
We sat at the oak table,
Death, in silence, observed the space.
I served the tea, very hot, in moments,
and death accepted, with a grateful gesture.
"Let's chat," I said,
Death nodded, "But about what, honey?"
"Life, dreams, everything that comes and goes too
and about how in the end, everything is lost, even the sky."
We talk about love, glory days, ...

Wandering from Faith
How do I confess
that recently I sat in church
below a rainbow flag and hoped
that somehow God would now make sense?
I’m always journeying from faith,
am never quite there because
the dread hand of Creation looms
and testifies to me
that no Creator ever was,
it’s all just wind and rain, chaos.
But until I die there’ll be
a place in my heart for an English church
with that uniquely English air,
of understated sprays of dried flowers,
a calming light at old windows,
a stained pieta of the Lord
presented...

A Perfect Lore
Look into the quiet place
and ask it what you are.
I am of course an atheist.
When I look at creation I see
the great and ready-made chaos,
proliferating always like
the strain of some disease.
I cannot see in anything
the hand of some kind scientist,
observing us as Harlow did
his lovelorn simians.
But in this chaos there’s
a fire clean and pure,
a reason still to learn what’s here
and make at last a perfect lore.

fifteen seconds at the speed of light from here
there is a deserted rock, empty and abandoned
which has roamed the universe for eternity.
planet nothing is the name of this crystal stone
but everyone just calls it home bitter home
everyone pretends not to squander the little one.
all the inhabitants are proud enough to forget
that are just the beings on the smooth surface
of a tiny grain of sand in the ocean of stars.
the universe follows its course towards the navel
in an eternal self-referential dream so atheistic ...

What Bigots Fear
Of demographics and inculcation
Surplus diatribes have been composed
Leading to further alienation
By means of humanity juxtaposed;
One group here against another group there
And all arrayed for you to hate them more
When labelled, categorically unfair,
To justify false outrage keeping score!
And thus the minorities keep shrinking
So the bullies won't have to work as much
At that out of the box social thinking
That runs them the risk of staying in touch
With that which the misanthrope hates the most:
No hell for...

Consciousness
say what they say
conscience does not weigh
consciousness is a state
comatose and translucent
who does not suffer any
effect on the part of
gravitational pull
conscience is synonymous
to forgetfulness...
consciousness is absence
of a scapegoat
consciousness is a moment
of millimeters in opening
of the blinds
it's the face in the dark
the shadow behind the curtain
the unknown look
in the rays of light that tear
the trellises, the silk and the
usefulness
metaphysical...

WHAT IS THE THIRD "WOE" IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION??
WHAT IS THE THIRD "WOE" ??!!
The first is found in Rev.9.12.
The next is in Rev.11.14.
We skip Rev.12 because that is set in the first century.
And the first 2 "woes" are set in the EndTime - our time today !!
So the first century is a parenthetical passage, NOT part of the real story.
We need to go to an ENDTIME chapter on the same level as Rev.9 and Rev.11.
Rev.13 onward is EndTime stuff. Here's the ANSWER:
Its Rev.18.10,16,19 !!
Now if u look up those verses, u will say,
Hey, the word "woe" doesn't show up in those...

I feel my flesh is made of
loud screams of god
and His tantrums,
His dumb ideas
are the lighthouses that
take me away from the coast,
I really am a boat
adrift and snoring in the
belly, and I smell like
a sludge of coffee from
God, but made out of His
mud is what I'm not...

All Will Be Revealed
Hot milk and an early night
could not prepare me
for the 3 am visions
on my bedroom ceiling
or for the mysterious and compelling
impromptu voice
from the Google Home speakers
Not wishing to fall behind the times
and invoking his infinite wisdom
it seems Ggod has decided to offer
Apple and Microsoft style updates
to the good book
which is henceforth to be known
as the Wible
With the goal
of enhancing and improving
modern user experience
Hhe has tasked me
with rewriting various sections ...

The Doomsday Epitaph
Heaven help them...they knew not what they did,
In capitulation to brutality
By weapon systems in big business bid
And armed for global catastrophe!
There were rules in place which all had known
Yet ill will nevertheless persisted
Into simian rages overgrown
To be the evils rarely resisted.
And so injustice became the rule
With decency...the lonely exception...

Who saw the world as misconception...

Saved (By The Good Book)
alone in the wilderness
under stars and moon
temperature dropping
wind howling
wood damp from
three days of rain
fearing for my life
i recalled
street preacher’s admonition
“in times of hardship
read the Good Book!
The Word will save you!”
wind howling
death by hypothermia
imminent
tucked into
the pocket
of my backpack
i found the bible
i had reluctantly accepted
from insistent evangelist
