I
Men...killed,
in
the name of God,
the Creator,
the Care-Taker.
Women...raped,
in the name of God,
the Dignifier,
the Protector.
Art...despoiled,
in the name of God,
the Architect,
the Designer.
Minds...closed,
in the name of God,
the Thinker,
the
Wise.
No one ever governs rightly,
in
the name of God,
the
Arbiter,
the Just.
Nothing good ever happens
in
the name of God,
the Good,
the Better.
The Better?

I witnessed believers...killing.
I witnessed believers...raping.
I witnessed believers...thieving,
and
lying,
and burning.
I witnessed believers accepting
their miserable fate.
If all this can be done
with faith in
the heart,
then faith is
meaningless,
and
so are you Sir,
so are you, God.
That is why
I must
be an atheist,
regardless
of whether
you exist,
or not.
