If I were a chimpanzee

Speak ain't easy
when I try to convey my deepest feelings
and I don't believe in my own monogamy
I love so many so deeply
that I am in constant pain.

I wish that when I cry out to God
God would answer back
so that I could be what they all say he wants me to be.
But I am not, and doubt that I will ever be,
anything other than me.

If I were a chimpanzee, I'd be the kind that rubs another
and not the kind that plans out wars...
but I am of a type that relates to them
and war and love mix to shake up our lives.

Evolution makes wonderful sense, even for this lover of God
I wish that more Christians would get this
and stop accusing science of trying to take their love away...
I think that "Satan" in Christian form is one of the scariest images I've seen.

But this is how it has always been
in time and in me
that truth is sought and
just maybe, this universal struggle
to separate ourselves from the monkeys
but connect with them as well
is just my imagination playing games with me.

The people have always some champion whom they set over them and nurse into greatness...This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector. ~~Plato- The Republic

There are millions (more

There are millions (more like billions?) of poems and writings and paintings and art in general praising god, Jesus, Mary and stuff... I have an idea, if there are any artistic people here, could we make a subforum for them to express their atheism artistically, with poems, drawings, paintings and stuff? I don't mean pictures of Mohammad with a bomb on his head, but to show how the world can be beautiful without the ideas of a superintelligent supervisor, heaven and hell, etc...

SubForum a good idea

I think that a subforum for skeptic art would be wonderful. Though, I'm not sure what you are asking of me...if you are asking me to create such a subforum, I am absolutely ignorant as to how to do that; if you are asking me if I would be willing to post or help in anyway, I am more than willing to do what I am able. (I am sorry if I misunderstood your question in any way.)

No no, I know you can't

No no, I know you can't create a subforum here, I think only the administrator has the power to do it.Smiling I just gave an idea, and if people like it, we could forward it to someone of the RRS Squad.

Skeptic art, I like the sound of that.Eye-wink

Oh and yeah of course, if this happens, it would be cool if you shared your stuff.Smiling Also I've seen your fear factor thread and I personally think art is a great way to express yourself and let all it come out, better than spitting a lot, hehe!Wink Tongue out
