I use to be agnostic when I was younger, and had respect for anyone who took comfort in a religion and I still do for that matter. though as I get older I tend to think that if there is a god he is probably a sadist. Why would a god who is all powerful and good let inocent people suffer?

Does hell exist
I think it does
We are already here

If I'm wrong then I will answer to him one day, but I'm not holding my breath.

As you know Wayne I'm a double act
but one thing I don't pretend is to
be God. Having said that I want to
place a job description in the paper
for God, you know...

Able to cure the sick
Stop war
Prevent earthquakes

Crikey we need help so
where our God,
I am a believer and live in hope

Thanx for read and great comments
Eeeee ah I mean Gary

What you are saying here is that humans are God. A contridiction in terms if you ask me. However, one could also look at it as,
we are responsible for the future. That all of humanities actions carry a message. And if this is the case, I like it much better.

Thank you for the good debates
Mankind needs to lift his or her game
And appreciate God, we deserve better
As does God. Thank you!

No, but I have studied philosophy all of my life and am very involved with buddhism, and eastern religion, all of which espouses the concept of balance, yin and yang, male and female, good and evil...

i must commend your thoughfulness and the insight as well
life is as an ocean leevee where horrible things happen yet some do live in piece. however i think the fated only needs to learn from a fish
or live as most amphibians.
nature is pristine, there's a Supreme influence to her deeds.

I don't believe in the god you just described either. I hold people responsible. Powerful poem, Gary. Best to you from Bob
