Atheists and Believers

A true atheist shouldn't bother with skepticism,
Shouldn't feel indignant, after all they simply
Don't believe in Something at all.

A true believer shouldn't bother with conversions.
Shouldn't be so repulsed, after all we share
A belief in Something.
 
A true atheist shouldn't bother asking why we suffer.
Honestly, they perplex me when they're blaming religiosity,
Not all of it was bad entirely.

A true believer shouldn't bother closing their minds.
Honestly life on Earth can be better if all beliefs
Came respectfully together.

A true atheist thinks we've all been evolving,
A true believer believes we've all been evolving spiritually.

A true atheist and a true believer
Shouldn't bother to dumbfound themselves through debating.
Should be a little more perceiving?!

So much fun to have my dendrites dance through this one, and then dance through it again, to understand it a bit more.
