There's No One Up There For Me
People always say
"Trust in God. He will lead the way."
Where is God when the economy crashes?
Where is God when the hungry and poor die on our sidewalks?
Where is this 'God' everyone speaks so highly of?
So badly I want to believe that there is a miracle worker in the clouds.
So badly I want to believe that when I die I go somewhere where nothing is wrong in the world.
But there's nothing.
There's nothing up there for me.
We'll be bones in a box.
A box 6 feet under the wet earth.
People do not want to accept the truth.
They want to die, knowing that they belong in a beautiful land, made only for the purest of heart.
I Understand that feeling.
You can call me a sinner.
But i do not believe in sins.
I believe in mistakes.
I believe in misjudgments.
I believe in accidents.
I do not pray before I rest.
I do not beg when I am in need.
I do not worship what I do not believe.

I'm sorry if I came across as hardheaded or offensive. I do understand where you're coming from and appreciate your input. You do have strong reasons to back up your thoughts, and I admire that. :)
Thank you for your comment (:
