It's Time (Lyric) by PoeticXTC

It's time that makes us It's time which breaks us It's time we take responsiblity at hand. It's time that fakes us It's time which takes us It's time we all make a stand. It's time that heals us It's time which kills us It's time we find a cure. It's time that fills us it's time which steals us It's time we should all mature. It's time that fails us It's time which bails us It's time we survive on our own. It's time that hails us It's time which sells us It's time we should not be alone. It's time that finds us It's time which binds us It's time we come together as one. It's time that minds us It's time which blinds us It's time we light the way for the sun. It's time that sold us It's time which holds us It's time we put our dreams in range. It's time that molds us It's time which olds us It's time we give our lives a change. It's time that makes us It's time which breaks us It's time that fakes us It's time which takes us It's time that fills us It's time which steals us It's time that heals us It's time which kills us It's time that fails us It's time which bails us It's time that hails us It's time which sells us It's time that finds us It's time which binds us It's time that minds us It's time which blinds us It's time that sold us It's time which holds us It's time that molds us It's time which olds us It's time that we stop making excuses for our downfalls. It's time which we start making a reality of it all. It's time we stop blaming time, for wasted, on time we do not have. It's Time... It's Time!

By every definition of "belief" we've used on poemranker, I don't believe in God. I might have previously said so on poemranker (undoubtedly for some perfectly understandable reason I've since forgotten). Or you're misquoting me. I'm inclined toward the former.

Actually, I bet you're thinking of the Pascal's wager comments here: http://www.poemranker.com/poem-details.jsp?id=122114 . I wasn't saying I believe in God. Logically, I refuse to rule out the possibility of God's existence, since there's no evidence that he does or doesn't exist, and (as we define God) such evidence cannot reasonably exist. Of course, I could have a vision, a giant finger could appear in the sky pointing to a sign that says "-=GOD=-", or I could die and go to heaven (or not go to heaven). In any of those events, reason's pretty much going out the window, which is why I feel comfortable saying "reasonably exist". I'd like to think that in any of those events I'm not going to be surprised, while you probably are. That's a lot of conjecture, though, since another name for God is pretty much Big Surprise.

I also think God makes a really handy literary device. Maybe that's what you're thinking of.
