Poem
It seems so strange to me; It seems so very odd; You’re so concerned I don’t believe In this person you call God Though you don’t have a reason To tell me why I should, And there’s no evidence that shows It makes a person good But instead of stating reasons Why I can't accept belief, Just think now if the tables turned, And faith was the minority Imagine me confronting you, And telling you your life rings hollow; Imagine your family concerned about This Jesus that you follow Imagine being looked down upon As somehow not as good, Just because you don’t lack a belief That others think you should Imagine being scared to pray, Or say what you really think and feel, For fear your words just might offend Those who know God isn’t real So before you start to condescend And tell me about my eternal fate, Please have the honesty to admit That your religion’s based on faith You say God adds depth to your life – It gives you something more, But my life’s fine as you can see – It’s better than before Not everyone can share beliefs, So let me have my own; We both are happy human beings, We just chose different roads All I’m asking you to do Is accept me for who I am; There’s nothing wrong with non-belief; I’m living life the best I can You tell me I’ve stopped searching; You say I’ve given up, But in my heart I truly know I’ve simply just grown up.
