what do we do?

from my days in the SALON

12/15/16

what do we do if there is no god?

what if there is no god?

what do we do if there is no god

do we resign ourselves to defeat

or do we embrace the cold truth there is no god

and where do we now go

back to the caves of yesteryear

or move on and seek a new way

do we gather in numbers for common support

or in effort to arrive at the cliffs

do we find faith in another

would it be so bad should there be no god

can we not find reason to carry on

do we curl up and cry

what do we do if there is no god?

Author's Note

the atheist has no hate
only
no religion

"the cold truth" would be lying in that dark grave wondering what this life was all about if that is just it.
Maybe we all rise up like "Night of the living dead Creatures" and instead of
repeating "Brains, Brains, Brains" we are repeating..."Faith, Faith, Faith."
it would be cruel for so many to have believed in something that never existed.

or we could just lie there doing nothing because we are dead! forever!
i do like 'the cold truth' take HA!
this was written as a satirical commentary on religion in general asking a rhetorical question not as a 'witnessing' piece HA!
pairing imagination and ability to put into words that which is convincing
much as separating the chaff from the wheat makes good gooder
i do appreciate ya visiting and adding comment
come again jacob

What do we do if there is no God? Look within to our own consciousness, which is what all of the various myth makers were seeking in the first place, though they did not know it.

myth makers? does that list include jesus?

[John the Baptist]

Very little verifiable info exists on the historical Jesus of Nazareth other than the fact that he did live. The myth makers would be those who created the legend surrounding him.

the need for purpose is a dangerous path
the wrath of gods controls our everything
read morethe need for purpose is a dangerous path

personally i find religion to be limiting
rules regulations control every moment every movement every thought

or

THE FUKIN BOOGIE MAN WILL COME AND COMMAND YOUR SOUL

BUT THEN I AM ONLY A HEATHEN IN THE EYES OF THE CAPTURED

peace i say peace
