Best Agnostic Poems

Such a silly concept is this,
killing men they know exist.
everyone all the while,
put their faith in denial.
till all the people with the power,
insist their faiths will be devoured.
can truly someone say they know,
if everybody wants to show.
something unseen that's truly there,
my guess is as good...

Let Any Agnostic Provide a Reply

		After reading too much Aquinas

Would an aphid reside in an onager’s ear
if the onager’s master spoke Twi?
Or a Gascony scop with a leper elope
if a civet leapt out of a tree?
You doubt it? Read Thomas and see.

Would an addax in...

How can you say
with your not quite straight face
that you neither know nor care
anything of God, or gods, or even exotic goddesses?

That's like saying you don't care for any love today,
or rain during a drought,
but thanks so very much for suggesting your best holistic medicine,
all...

Preacher tempts us to ride
For us to be salvage
From the river of hell
Their words blinded
The eyes of many
But I belong to the few
Who would rather choose
To swim at the canal of torture
If that'll be the price of my action
We are all stained
With myriads of peccadilloes
The...

Language is the water of the universe:
"I love u" is both true and untrue
Just as water kills and saves, freezes and flows
God speaks : "I LOVE" unfolding Creation
We speak: "I LOVE u" and create "the other!"
As with language and knowledge -
"I know" is more true...

The Agnostic


Is it Evolution or Creation?
Has caused a great sensation.

Who am I and where am I from?
This I ponder some.

Genesis says we were first conceived
In a story about  Adam and Eve.

Darwin had a different solution.
In a theory he called Evolution.

Now that puts me on...

A proud agnostic, but a bit fair,
Truth of truths to me once did aver—
A guy clear as blue sky,
If per chance a bit wry:
If I know not, no one knows either!

Agnostic sure an either or bird,
Milk gone sour as if turned into curd,
One that fakes...

A Catholic and Agnostic In a relationship together...
Deep and wide is the valley of questions that fills my mind
It is much worse at night...
without a place to hide, I am lost.
I have never been lost in my faith 
but now my eyes have been blind...

Nonbeliever
by Michael R. Burch writing as Kim Cherub

She smiled a thin-lipped smile
(What do men know of love?)
then rolled her eyes toward heaven
(Or that Chauvinist above?)....

Heaven’s above, Hell’s below,
Purgatory’s in the middle, 
Guess what’s on the menu,
Our souls! To solve my riddle.

Players in the mix together, 
Yes actors and entire cast,
Props and stars of their show, 
Entertaining up to the last. 

Gods and demons, decide
our comeuppance and fate,
Tomorrow’s judgement day,
Our...

God always wins the wager if we live long on earth... and even if we don't.

Some questions die with questioners; even if God heard the questioning daily (for 90 years)

Dead and distant.
Someone's personal best friend.

Don't say his name, don't draw his face.

He or She or They are an A Flat or a B Sharp,
or a thought, a spark, or a coming together,
Everything or nothing at all,
or love.
The beginning and the end.
The Alpha dog the...

"Mommy, is god everywhere?"
"Yes, honey, god is everywhere."
"Does that mean god's in the toilet?"
"I suppose so."
"If I flush god is he still in the toilet?"
"Yes, he'd still be there."
"Is god in the pus from a popped pimple?"
"Go cut me a switch so I can give...

Obviated by passion
I could as much apply each person 
Exfoliate my heart.
Such tormented fragments 
Seeking reconciliation therein, 
Where all refrains come subject to warm
And, as my oath prescribes, I first
Must “do no harm”
Each valiant doll’s cartoon 
A variance, but 
Only tall in child’s retrospect.
Murderous and...
