Preachings of An Atheist

Simply put this title may offend some
Truth is I don't pray or go to church
I stay at home and reflect on life
Seems atheist are victims of a purge

Believers in a power are loud and proud
But us atheists stay silent for the most part
We aren't all a bad crowd
We are all human with a heart

If you were to look at my character 
Would you think I'm a man of faith?
Study my life like a narrator
And see which belief seem to be in place

Is there truly a way to tell?
I think not
Whether heaven nor hell
I choose neither and instead want my body to rot

I write this to show my stance
See if you judged me fair 
Now look how you judge based on my stance
Cause judgement is a sin to weigh you to hell...and i feel light as air

John Herlihy January 24, 2017 at 11:37 PM The title didn't offend me; it attracted and intrigued me to learn what you have to say on the subject. Admittedly, everyone has a right to their opinion, and especially a poet who tries to capture the moment in rarefied words. To answer your question, No, there is no way to tell. People reveal who they are, not what they believe. An interesting poem. JH Adam Taylor January 25, 2017 at 3:52 PM Thank you john your words are reassuring and kind.
