Living In Ignorance About Religion Poem by James McLain

Unbelievably,
there are billions of you.
I have graciously
been permitted to live in a
time
where the discovery of life
on planets
that circle distant sun's
is only a few short year's away.
Yea unto you there are those
that will say
that your specific God put that
there as well.
But when you say that your God
is responsible
for civilizations significantly
more advanced than ours.
You are speaking for those whom
would consider such thinking as that
of an ant beneath your shoe.
This makes your thinking if nothing
else
extremely self destructive
which magnifies the very problems
we currently have
that you will not with that kind of
thinking be able to solve.
