The infinite divide of 3 meters,
leaving me swallowing solitude...
no nothing is banked,
no nothing is sacred,
I'm digging into my solitude...
golden fishes have the sense to flee from this scene...
but I would be happy if it were to devour me,
no god isn't like me,
because I would let him consume me.
There's a huge catagory which contains the things which could easily engulf me.
I would be a fool to deny them.

Ah.
Yes ... I liked this. Very much. You are very, very accurate at times.
God does this, you know, Poet? To fill your entire being ... The question is: do you know it?
Let me give you a hug from here to in Australia.
Ah.
I needed to do that.
Love
Myra

I don't believe in god. I think there may be something even deeper. I'm sure of it. Something we can all buy into. The fantasy never measures up to the reality. I would love to hug you back as well. After all of our disagreements, I think we want the same thing, and share a common compassion. We only differ greatly in the expression of our message...and I like that.
It gives me space to grow. -

Hey! Wayne!
I don't believe you do not believe in God. Too often you speak of Him ... Go read back.
God is a process. He is stable but not fixed. Secure but not rigid. God is all that we are, but without the flaws. He is the Living Breath inside us. Now there. None is to blame but ourselves if we do not use the power He gives us.
Admit it. We are both somewhat lazy. Well, if you are not, I am. I do not use NEARLY as much energy as I am able to use to improve my world.
It is always great talking to you. You allow me my space, too. Thank you.

I take it as a compliment that you don't believe I don't believe in God. I think god as a literal being is pure fantasy though. God is an archtype. And even as a concept is misleading. If someone says to me, I'm doing it for god, I have no doubt they've been convinced or sold a lie.
God is a tool. Often misused. Not a literal being.
Now if you ask me to prove to you god doesn't exist, I can only argue that that's not the role of scientific, or constructive philosphy. I could pose the same conundrum by asking you to prove to me that Santa Claus does not exist, or even a more valid possibility than god or santa clause, alien intelligence.
You can't. All the evidence simply isn't in yet. -

Oh but Santa Claus DOES exist!
Actually, he was a saint from the town Myra in Turkey ... and he will forever exist in the hearts of all who carried on his wondrous gifts of Love. Now many fathers, brothers, uncles and even mothers work in his disguise and he would have been totally thrilled ... As God also wants US to do his work by gifting others with Love. WE are the tools ... HE works through US, not the other way around ...
I have no wish to convince you of God. God Himself already did it ... And He Himself gifted you with a wondrous spirit and a compassionate soul. -

Yeah...we could go 'round and round and get nowhere. (I'm aware of St. Nicolas.) Can't I be a good person without a god? I prefer that. It makes sense to me. You can have your god. I can't with 100% certainty that that god, or many of the others do not exist. I just try to live with as few superstitions and myths as possible. I'm deluded enough as it is.
