Where was god? (Free verse) by little_big_nose

Where was god when she had to die? Where was god when she had to get high? Where was god when my cousins had to go away? And why isn't god there for anyone who is gay? Where was god on nine/ eleven? Was he just chillin' in Heaven? Will god ever be there When I really need someone to care? Or will god just run Just like he has always done? Why was it gods will To have him swallow all those pills? Allah, Buddha, Christ, it doesn't matter who They will always leave you in the blue Where was god when people died for him in 'holy wars'? What does god care, he can always make more Where was god through all my pain? Why was all my praying in vain? Where is god now that I have the knife? It doesn't matter now, I've taken my life

Of course it's stupid to say something sucks because it doesn't exist. But I don't think that's what anyone here is trying to say. This poeme is essentially just the argument concerning the supposed contradiction between the existence of a benevolent, all-powerful Jesu and the existence of suffering. The author is saying that if God existed, he would suck (or at least could not be benevolent AND all powerful), so a benevolent, all-powerful God does not exist. I'm not saying I agree or disagree with this argument, but I definitely think you have misinterpreted the poeme if you think it means "God sucks because He doesn't exist". If you think that, then I'm afraid it is you who is the one who is wearing no trousers, not me.
