The Atheist Missionary
June 30, 2009 at 8:40 am | In Uncategorized | 1 CommentThank you Brother Sam!
While I am waiting for you to respond in some way, shape or form, I will recite The Atheist’s Prayer:
Our brains, which art in our heads, treasured be thy names. Thy reasoning come. The best you can do be done on earth as it is. Give us this day new insight to resolve conflicts and ease pain. And lead us not into supernatural explanations, deliver us from denial of logic. For thine is the kingdom of reason, and even though thy powers are limited, and you’re not always glorious, you are the best evolutionary adaptation we have for helping this earth now and forever and ever. So be it. (reproduced from friendlyatheist.com)

Our thoughts
And ideas in their millions
Complete with memories
Pictures and emotions
Of a lifetime
Obviously too numerous
To be contained in such a tiny head
Even if only one atom
Somehow magically
Recorded only one thought
Memory or picture each
Would not be enough to do the job
The numbers prove the point
The mathematics hold
That there is more to Man
Than any religionist to date
Or his Atheist opponent
With all their great arguments
Can explain
Rather than argue
And waste so much effort
Trying to prove
The unprovable imponderable
Turn you rationale
To explaining practical things
As mundane as this
And make a useful contribution
To the knowledge of mankind
Something, somewhere, somehow
Stores memories
Creates beauty and art
Has dreams of achievement
Feels emotions and pain
Records experiences
Knows it is alive
And the one thing it is certainly not
Is a lump of meat
Or a brain
