Solomon splits in two
If Billy Maher wrote religious poetry,
I'd be crushed by an audience of laughter.
(The thinker, there, exposed.)
Did that get your attention, darling?
Now take me away from this mundane
field of stars where Rumi throws
his seeds of sperm--words I must taste to remember why
it is the sunlight that grows every shadow.
In your hands I am a soliloquy of prayer.
Recite me. Let me read your lips.
Take me to that forever place
in your heart that is pure, love that can
never be reconciled.
Mold me into your desire.

ah, no
the "evangelist" atheists are the clearest and most potent thinkers on the planet.
You've read my essay "Taking Occams Razor to religion"

Spirituality is merely personal accountability for atheists and slavish obedience to religious people.
