God: The Sick Creation of Man
I have posted this before, but the more I read it, the more like a poem it becomes, and the more powerful. It was not designed as a poem, but works well as one. It is written by a friend of mine who posts adverts in different places, including this one:
GREATER EVIL IS BEYOND THE IMAGINATION OF MAN
than that God,
perfect in every way,
all-powerful,
needing nothing,
knowing everything
past, future and even possible;
a loving, just, merciful and forgiving Father;
would summarily create,
from innocent nothingness,
creatures capable of suffering,
knowing in advance,
which of those he will consign
to suffer eternally --
as promised by Jesus!
No act of his creature-victims
could justify this verdict of unsurpassable hate,
injustice and endless mercilessness.
All in all, the very definition of unforgiving.
Nothing more is needed,
though volumes provide it,
to prove that such a God
is not and never was,
except as the sick
creation of
man.
