Athiesm

[caitaro]

Atheism offers nothing to me

It never has, and it never will

It does not make me feel good

Or comfort me

It’s not there for me when I’m sick or ill

It can’t intervene in my times of need

It won’t protect me from hate or lies

It doesn’t care if I fail or succeed

It won’t wipe the tears from my eyes

It does nothing when I’ve got nowhere to run

It won’t give me wise words or advice

It has no teachings for me to learn

It can’t show me what’s bad or nice

It’s never inspired or incited anyone

It won’t help me fulfill all my goals

It won’t tell me to stop when I’m having fun

It’s never saved one single soul

It doesn’t take credit for everything I achieve

It won’t make me get down on bended knee

It doesn’t demand that I have to believe

It won’t torture me for eternity

It won’t teach me to hate or despise others

It can’t tell me what’s right or wrong

It won’t tell anybody that they can’t be lovers

It’s told nobody that they don’t belong

It won’t make you think that life...

It won’t make you think that life is worth living

It has nothing to offer me, that’s true

But the reason atheism offers me nothing

Is because I’ve never asked it to

Atheism offers nothing because it doesn’t need to

Religion promises everything because you want it to

You don’t need a religion or to have faith

You just want it because you need to feel safe

I want to feel reality

And nothing more

So atheism offers me everything

That religion has stolen before.
