Some days everything
Feels so pointless
That I'd just rather
Be a rotting corpse.
But don't you dare
To tell me that I
Have a void in my life
That can only be filled
By God.
That void you speak of
Is the fear of the eternal
And God promises you
An eternal existence
Because you can not handle
The fact that one day
You will be annihilated
Just like everyone else.
You have been fooled
Into believing that your
Finite deeds are worthy
Of either infinite punishment
Or infinite rewards.
But that just makes
Your God morally inferior.
So this void in my life
I have accepted
Because I understand
The finite futility
Of human existence.
I accept that I
Am a mere speck
Of nothing in eternity,
But I give my life meaning
Through interactions with
My fellow humans.
I do not need either
The promise or the threat
Of eternity to make me
Into a moral man.
I am strong enough
To do that myself.
God makes you weak,
Morally you are dependent
On threats of eternal punishment,
Intellectually you are resistant
To truths like evolution  
There is no debate,
Just ancient beliefs
Resisting a shrinking domain
Where it is the final word.
Accept the finite futility
Of your existence and
Embrace the joy
Of living for your fellow man
And not for a drama queen
In the ******* sky.
