Dear God



Dear God

Once again, you have added to the growing body of evidence that you cannot exist. While these words are being typed, children and their families are running and fighting for their lives.
Children are suffering and dying.
Our planet is dying as well.
People shed blood and for what purpose?
Where is the love - was once asked.
Where is love now?
Where is reason, logic, facts, humanity and where is fairness, equity, enlightenment, freedom, sustainability and hope for a better future?
No one seems to know for sure.
As we speak, there seems to be only a handful of people who knows what the future holds.
And none of those are gods.
Dear God, some of your dogmas still rule this earth.
In particular the idea that on top there is but one supreme power. How old and irrelevant it seems.
Hopefully new times will seize the day. And hopefully soon.
But as long as people are enslaved by old dogmas, mankind will be doomed to keep competing, fighting, all convinced that they hold the truths of the world.
It will be the end of the world as we have known it.
Dear God I hope you don't exist.
