The confession of an Agnostic

[Sonata]

If you can't see it how can you claim it's real?
If you can't feel it how can you believe the faith in it,
will bring you your tomorrows meal?

And now, when you are thinking about these two previous questions,
you are actually neglecting the fact that He exists, making you -
a non-believer whatsoever.
So how can you call me an Atheist, if I'm not neglecting the fact that he doesn't exist-
I am just merely saying - When I touch it or see it, I will believe; and you are the ones
who lie and hide behind those lies.
Think about it.

If you can't see it how can you claim it's real?
If you can't feel it how can you believe the faith in it, convoluted and probably nonsensical...unless you know otherwise. There seems to be some confusion between belief and faith and the interaction or otherwise betwixt the two. I may not believe in your god thing but I believe that you do. No conflict there.
will bring you your tomorrows meal? Small faith requirement...meals on wheels do it all the time.No god required. This is not a theological issue. tomorrows needs an apostrophe if not an apostle.

And now, when you are thinking about these two previous questions,
you are actually neglecting the fact that He exists, making you - Whoa...circular error here. I am disappearing up my own ecumenical backside trying to reverse engineer your logic. I cannot. It is gobbledygook whatsoever. Actually, I can also see compound errors here. I think you need to rethink this whole stanza.
a non-believer whatsoever.
So how can you call me an Atheist, if I'm not neglecting the fact that he doesn't exist-
I am just merely saying - When I touch it or see it, I will believe; and you are the ones
who lie and hide behind those lies.
Think about it. This is a complete Boris...I could not fail to disagree with you less....sonata, I'm sorry, but this is a mess.

Hi sonata,
how was your time in charm school Missed your threads. I don't want to get off on the wrong foot with this one but I think you are leg wrestling with Colossus...the IBM version. You have out-thunk yourself.
Leave it for a while and take a little of your own advice...think about it.
Very best,
tectak

"If you can't see it how can you claim it's real?" oxygen, gravity, wind, motion, inspiration, a logical argument.

"If you can't feel it how can you believe the faith in it" Do you mean, if you can't feel it, how can you trust it? Do you mean physical feeling (touch), or emotional feeling (emotions)?

"And now, when you are thinking about these two previous questions, you are actually neglecting the fact that He exists, making you - a non-believer whatsoever."

False premiss: If one contemplates something counter to what they believe it does not invalidate their belief. It only makes them not closed minded. Plus, I am thinking you are much to prideful about your two "questions" to believe that they could have such an effect.

Yes, I have to agree with Tom, this is a mess, a logical and a grammatical one. Plus, it reads more as a bad philosophical treatise (well a short one), than a poem, in my opinion.

hello,

yep, this is pretty much the worst thing I have ever read... ever in the words of Milhouse: "This is great. Not only am I not learning, I'm forgetting stuff I used to know."

This is why I love posting here.
This wasn't meant and isn't a poem actually. idk who said something about it not being one. I just needed opinions of people whose opinions are very often wise, and I got what I needed. Thank you very much, yes, this is indeed a mess, and no I'm not going to leave this be just because it sucks, I love philo-religious themes but I never actually wrote something on the subject considering english isn't even my main language, but I love writing in english so hey, practice is everything.
Thank you very much for your responses.
