So I'm asking you, God, show me something.
A respectful demand.

You chime in with "isn't all their unconditional love a sign of divine inspiration?"

I don't think so. Let's not confuse loyalty with unconditional love. Millions followed Hitler loyaly and look how that turned out. I realize a theological God is very different from an actual person, much less a person who was a practicioner of genocide.


It's okay if your silence is screaming inside
There's this new kind of action it's better than running & hiding
It's called apathy and it comes with a side
of large cynicism.

I've had my fair share of revelations, but I've never been fully captivated by one of you. You know, like one of those I'm scared of sinning ones.

I want faith in a supersized quantity. I want it to be of everlasting quality. Open my third eye. Give me a glimpse.
Cause if you don't, how am I supposed to believe?
I don't want to be another sheep in a herd, following orders from an enigmatic leader to an unforeseeable end. You know what happens when people do that.
Sorry Jews.

I hope you come to the realization that God is within you.
You don't have to look much further than where you're standing.
And God is within me, too.
In all of us.
So hopefully, you'll see that God is not in Heaven.
He is here, on Earth.
He is a part of everyone and everything.
When you see that, if you see that, maybe it will answer some questions...
Like it did for me.

I can't believe we're all God
or that God is inside all of us.
I mean, it's a given He's had something to do with all of us.
But that doesn't mean that somewhere in our mind is this omnipresent being that binds us and does us all good.
He's not inside the starving children, he's not inside the terrorists, and he’s not inside everyone.

I mean, he can't be…. just sitting idly by while the world waits for our own end.

Of course I like the Christian God because he's somewhat palpable, moreso than some divine spirit inside me that binds us all together.

But I don't know. I haven't died. I've always wanted to... just to satisfy my curiosity.

I hope I haven't gone and knocked your beliefs or anything, because you have your reasons just like I have mine. I'm just saying... for a person like me who needs to experience something to whole heartedly believe it, I have serious trouble believing God is in all of us.
