An Aethist's Prayer

by Ms Stacy   Apr 19, 2005


Neither heaven nor hell will have me
I claim no god that will claim me

I bow to no man no woman and no child
Nothing dead or alive will hear my begging

I don't cross my self or say a grace
I don't fight for religion or throw it in your face

I respect your beliefs even if their not my own
And I observe the world as if it was my own

I study the balance of nature
Looking to science for a lot of explanations

I'm criticized but most and loved by the others.

I'm not dark but I'm also not light
I am no color that can be seen day or night

I don't see the Evil or the Good
I see the world as I should
Not blinded by a god
As others would

On my dying day I will see
Where I will rest, Heaven Hell or Purgatory
which ever seems the best suited for me

I would choose to be with ones I love
But if it means having religion
Then I will stay alone.

People look at me strange when I look past their faith
Because they cant understand I believe their god is fake.

One day I may pay for my sins.
But I have lived with them this long
that means I can do it again
And I fell that its not wrong.

    I dont really answer to anyone so I dont hear him speak
    I find comfort in nature and in the balance
    So I sleep easily and all at peace
    Knowing that I am only one thing in this world nothing more nothing less.
    I am here for no mission just merly to live and die
    My time left is not in a hour glass yet I know Im always one second closer to my death
    And I have no fear of death
    Simply because I know that my body will decay but my soul will live on
    And where it will live on.
    Even if it tortures me
    It does not scare me.

    Who's the one you answer to
    Do you listen when he speaks
    Or is everything for you
    And do you find it hard to sleep
    Or is it easy on your own
    Will you ever find some peace
    Before you're gone

    Thiers really nothing to be sorry about..I just feel that not worshiping in something makes me repect nature as it is.
    Im actually happier since I became aethist.
    That and it makes more since to me because Im phycic and a medium.
    No pun intended.

    I'm so sorry you feel that way. Hwever I think you have a god. Your god is yourself. Usually people don't realize that they have elavated themselves or other humans maybe even a thing to a god like level.
