Written from the different views I have had on God throughout my lifetime.
Optimistic nihilism
What a beautiful life I have been granted, I do not need god to love the human race.
How lucky I must be to find myself on a planet with rain and sun, how lucky I am to have evolved from animals so far beneath my feet.
The human race is not godly, we are divine in our own right.
How blessed I am to know that in one hundred years none of it will matter.
When my body dies so do I, this is nothing but a motive for enjoying the time I have been given.
Human beings are the closest thing to god there is, we are beautiful loving creatures.
There is no god, and I embrace that.
Unanswered questions
There is no god in a world in which I was hurt like that.
There is no god who would let that happen to a little girl.
If god is real I want nothing to do with him.
Where were you? Why did my prayers get ignored?
I don't believe anyone with any semblance of a soul would leave me to rot like that.
There is no god, and if there is, he will beg for my forgiveness.
Church and childhood
I will go to hell if I take off my wings.
I will go to hell if I step out of line.
I am scared God doesn't like me.
Why doesn't God answer my prayers?
Am I doing this right?
Am I doing something wrong?
Where did you go?
If you love me, why do you never listen?
God loves to listen, but not to everyone.
Summertime
This world is too beautiful to be anything but divine.
God is in every blade of grass, god is in the blooming flowers.
God is everywhere all the time, he plays like a radio, you have to tune in and listen.
God is in the tarot cards, God is in the connection between me and you..
We all have a purpose, each of us a stroke in a beautiful painting.
God loves me, God teaches me through pain.
Everything is exactly how it should be.
God is everywhere working in every way at every time.
Stranger with your door key
God works in ways I am not capable of understanding.
God will help me if I let him.
I don't know what god is but he is not vengeful.
God listens to my prayers.
God will keep me sober.
I don't know God, but I know he is there.
