I have never believed in You but if You do exist consider this to be my prayer, my only demand.
I do not know if you are a merciful god and I don’t care; I don’t believe in a master plan in which every person has a part but is such plan exists I don’t want to be part of it. I am selfish; I don’t want to be the one who makes so many to suffer, who disapoints them and is the general asshole of the universe. I want to be left alone, I want to be free; I am no actor, I cannot play as one tells me to nor can I accept the puppet master as being real. People believe in you because they loose faith in themselves, because they want to feel as someone, or something is watching over them, listening to their prayers and making things right.
This is one of the reasons for which I hate you: you are a god that demands people to loose themselves so that they can be saved. I am not talking about reason here, I am talking about a kind of self trust that cannot be found in believers. I am talking about being able to accept the fact that they can be the best without your help, that they should do good not because some deity promises eternal happiness or sorrow depending on the actions here committed (see Insanity in eternity) but because they feel like doing good. A person should not be manipulated to waste his of her life on this world only to recive acces to another that is somewhat better or worse than this one. If a person wants to waste herself by commiting imoral acts let her, her reward will come in the form of her own selfdestruction and social tags on this world, not on some other plane of existence.
Let people embrace death and see it as a natural fenomenon without any religious conotations; because of you many are scared of death and see it as a punishment instead of seeing it as the final stage of individual evolution. Death brings its penalties but they apply depending on the persons life: if he did great things, he will be remembered by humanity, it he was a good person he will be remembered by his family and friends, but if he wasted his life he will fade along with his body, people will forget him and there is no greater punishment than not beeing remembered.
The church is your tool. A group of people giving orders and commands on behalf of a greater power. What has that brought to us? See the masacres during the crusades, the so called “holly wars”, see the situation of Israel, a state with no identity other than that which is given to it by the US from financing it (for let’s face it, Israel could not of survived if it wasn’t for the guard dog of the world), the holocaust, the inquisition. Look at most of the priests, the coruption they represent is greater than that of the politicians. So how, as a politically correct god do you allow them to represent you? They destroy all that you stand for and make you look evil. Is Satan another face of yours or just a rebel who got tired of you?
Dear god, I reccomand reading “The Last Question” by Isaac Asimov but he probably is in hell as a heretic so the chances of you reading that short story are small.
I end now this prayer by mentioning that I do not belive in your existance nor in any other deity, I do not belive in heaven or hell nor do I belive in a grand plan. I don’t want to be your actor, and if freedom can only be achieved by dying so be it.
