Talking to a coworker laying down tracks,
Says he doesn’t need all of them facts.
He started yelling, then looked at me and spat
When he couldn’t convince me the world was flat.

Only A Fool
Only A Fool would still say that.

During mass I overheard someone at church:
‘Mankind was placed on the highest perch.
The Earth is no more than a few thousand years old
Evolution is all garbage so I’ve been told’.

Only A Fool
Only A Fool could believe that.
It’s something ‘Only A Fool’ says these days.   
But they keep reading it in that book.
If you want to know where the fool is
Give it another look.

The sun races across the sky every day.
Hard to view it any other way.
So easy to believe you are the center.
Hard to leave it behind once you enter.

Only A Fool
Only A Fool would repeat that

The first time I heard it, it caught my breath;
If your wife commits adultery, stone her to death.
Want to hear what I believe to be truth?
Faith is believing in fairy tales without any proof.

From my Roman Catholic upbringing I think about religion a lot. I went to Catholic schools and attended church every Sunday, school days and holidays. I was an altar boy for years when we used Latin in our responses. I do not say we spoke it…. and dreamed of being a brother or priest. My favorite saint was Saint Francis of Assisi. He was considered to be somewhat of an outsider, but that was fine by me!

I couldn’t help myself. Looking around things just didn’t add up.

God is all knowing. God is kind and honest and good.
God sees all. God created the heavens and earth.
God knows what has been and what will be.
God is kind and gentle and loving.
WE are made in his image. WE shall rule the earth.
WE are the center of the universe
The earth fixed on its pillars does not move.
The sun and stars race across the sky for our entertainment.


The bible is presented as ‘the word of God’. Why would an
All-knowing being reference geocentric views that will be
disproven in a few short millennia? Is this God’s Mighty plan?

You might deflect by saying that god works in mysterious ways. Maybe.
It could be argued that these references are simplified stories to tell his children.
Sure.
But this is more than a point of view. Humans with little science and mathematics could not possibly know this to be true.

God would know if he made it. This would be one more in a long line of seemingly unbelievable tenants of faith. And when humanity achieved the technology sufficient to the task we would be affirmed in our beliefs. Instead, we see time after time the references in the bible and other teachings directly contradicting science. This is but one of many errors religious teachings present as fact.

The bible and counterparts were clearly not written by god or from his hand.

Was this the Mighty Plan?
Does't this seem a little odd?
Let me help you understand
There never was a god.
