turn on the lights

if you have found the Lord,
good for you.
i've been looking for that
bastard for a long time.
so when you run into
Him again, ask Him
why this? why now?
and
what for?

is this to build some
Omnipotent ego?
does crushing the weak
by the hands of the weak
somehow turn Him on?

does He get his kicks
from watching babies die?

is there some point
to abuse
that i'm missing?

until you can come
to me with a reasonable,
and logical answer,
i'm going to go with
the
'god hiding from himself'
theory
that clearly states
we are the evil in the world,
and we are the good
in the world. it is up to us to
make this world a better place.

maybe some day we'll
embrace that understanding
and let go of all of the bullshit
that keeps us at each others throats.

don't get me wrong,
your faith isn't the issue.
the issue is your bias toward
your faith. spirituality and a strong
sense of the natural world
is indicative to a positive
and healthy life. everyone
has faith in something
whether they believe in a higher
power
or not. but don't be
mistaken,
the phrase, "my god is better
than your god," and all the
dark mentality
related to your biased view is
one of the biggest problems
humanity faces.

i wonder how many people
would be truly alarmed at what
we are doing to our environment
if they new the planet was an
organism that relied on our
cooperation to maintain a healthy
existence? what would happen
if they knew that, collectively, we
are the god that has to rush in to
save the day? would they be
as complacent?

so it's not a matter of faith.
it is a matter of blind ignorance.
if we continue to
shuffle around in the dark,
we're eventually going to bump
into a wall.

i just hope we're smart enough to
reach out and look for
a light switch.
