Replying to a comment on:

Crappy (Free verse) by drnick

Light rain slides down the window Sky painted a sloppy gray And if you fool yourself You'll walk with smile on your face Slimy rock and dirt your path Not a friend along the way You know not to kid yourself In fear of looking lame All you can imagine is some life So boring, sober, sane No need to kill yourself If existence has gone to Frey Sure you could rewrite the world Would that make you happy? And if you'd fool yourself You'll find you became too sappy

You believe that the universe is eternal. You have no proof, but it seems to you most likely, and that has given rise to your faith that it is true. Though you did not mention it, you probably also believe that intelligent life developed naturally from processes inherent in the universe. To not believe these things is to consider the possibility of God.

I do not hold a belief in the eternalness of the universe. I can accept it as having started at some point in time or as having been placed in eternity by God. In either case, it is God, operating on a level beyond my comprehension, in whom I believe. I don’t know much about God, but I have more freedom to think about the universe and consciousness, and about my part in all this, by accepting God’s existence, than I do by rejecting Him. That is why I said that my faith is less than yours.

The only ones without faith are agnostics. I used to be one. You’ll see from my early comments on poemranker that I’m on a journey. To where, I don’t know.
