IS IT FAIR?
The Pope died.
He’s now with God.
The suicide bomber died.
He gets virgins.
When I die, I want women
With experience.
But what will I get?
Nothing.
You get what you pray for.
That’s fair

IN THE CLOSET
Rational men and women
Do not believe:
Bible is the word of God
Jesus was the Son of God
Koran was the last word of God
Mormon is God’s latest last word
Rational men and women do believe:
Universes are infinite in time and space
Men and women do not understand infinity
Rational men and women, declare your rationality
Come out of the closet

Faith
Reason says bible is myth
Rational men know
God didn’t talk to Moses
Jesus was not God incarnate
Allah did not dictate the Koran to Muhammad
Yet intelligent and otherwise rational men
Substitute faith for reason
Pope John Paul was an intelligent man
He had faith and is now with god
Martyrs have faith and live in paradise
Bible promises resurrection
The faithful die with hope for the future
For the faithful
God is shepherd
Answers prayers
Comforts
Offers salvation
Atheists are rational
Atheists have no shepherd
No comforter
No salvation
No future
When atheists die, that’s it.
So be it
REFLECTIONS ON THE
INFINITY
INFINITY
twenty, an atheist,
lying at the stern of a warship
in the Pacific Ocean,
gazing at a clear, cloudless night sky.
I saw an infinite universe.
I was overwhelmed, in awe.
if there is an infinite universe,
there must be an infinite source.
that source must be what
the prophets called God.
tt is sixty years since I lay on that deck
and discovered the infinite universe.
I am still overwhelmed, in awe,
still an atheist.
