Reasonable

If there is no God
as the atheist say
I don't want to live here anyway
what is mans purpose
but to serve our God
can mortal man make a tree?
make me just one flower, please
blow into a dead body
the breath of life
so that it will stand up
and be revived
does man have the power
to make it rain
or call forth night
and then daylight again?
if there is no God
to tell us right from wrong
to give us voice
and to give us song
to give us hope
for a better tomorrow
for if there is no God
there's nothing left
but sorrow

It's not the believing in God that is the problem. It is the wholesale marketing of God like a BigMac, and presuming to SPEAK for God that pi$$es everybody off. All that pious, "I know best" bible thumping gives one a headache.

Enjoyed reading.

Captures it all he said and greater works ye shall do. In My name... If no God ye a sorrowful world this would be more sorrowful than today.
This is well expressed.
