Out From the Closet of Belief: Part Ii
oh but how those goddamned Atheists
would not stop yammering away---
with their Darwin & their Evolution & their
want to live in the reality of a world in which
human beings take responsibility for the lives that they lead
without pretending as if some deity was watching
without pretending as if some deity was going to come &
save them---
and over the span of this latent nonbeliever’s life
sooner than later, the voice of those who are sick & tired of a world
churning & bubbling in a chaos produced by those
theists, deists & just plain morons,
came to the forefront.
with megaphones in hand
they march today to the capital
voicing their complaints &
asserting themselves as a people who will not be ignored,
as a people who have been kept silent for way too long,
as a people who have come to stand
where so many maniacs have stood before
pronouncing their myths & then
marching off to kill another who doesn’t believe in the myth that
they do.
today, the masked nonbeliever knows that they are no longer alone,
because of people like Richard Dawkins who have stood up against a world
that thrives on lunacy,
wanting to instead rely on facts, evidence, and the real conclusions drawn from
the scientific method & investigative processes---
the masked nonbeliever
no longer needs to hide &
they get on a bus, or a plane,
or they just plain drive to DC today
in order to find community with those
that have had enough of this bullshit,
making that first important public step
to be facebooked & tweeted & covered by as many media outlets
that are not still bent over the table
getting raped by the religious
who would love for all of our mouths to still be closed
who would love for us all to be burning at the stake
as if it was still the
middle ages.
*if only Christopher Hitchens could still be here to witness it.
