The Lusterless God

imagine for a second that all the hogwash bull*****fiction spun by you spin doctors whipping up your religions & churning your lies like butta, was scientifically proven tomorrow--- imagine that the proof that y’all needed to rub the faces of all us nonbelievers in, was right at your fingertips & there was no longer any debate left--- would you be satisfied? you know that you wouldn’t. you know, as well as i, that the bull*****that you believe in has no basis in reality & by that very notion, you parade your certainty with “faith” & not reason, “miracles” & not evidence, etc.--- to have proof of all the ridiculous crap that you have mustered over the years would take away your magic. all the shiny mysteries & all the ways of seeing, relative to only your own specific little itty bitty place in the vast universe, would mean nothing & a lusterless god would be the one that existed for your worship. how would you deal with this thing that could be reduced to mathematical proofs or slimmed down & diced up into little pieces which could be examined with a microscope? buck up & admit that what really matters is that what you say you worship what you say will save you can never be characterized by any tangible proof because then, it would no longer have the power that you think it does.
