A new god by Connor
Kaplan
Does a god truly have power?
The Greeks and Romans had gods that gain power from our
emotions, our prayers.
Some Gods are the creator, the destroyer, the one who makes
things better or worse.
But they need prayers from us.
In other religions God is all loving and powerful, and we
know this.
But yet God decides to remind us of its power.
And yet God wants us to pray to it.
Today God is dying slowly.
Science is becoming our new god.
It has no power, needs no prayer, and only explains.

Poem of the Day: Yet Do I Marvel
Posted: Thu, 30 May 2013 00:00:00 -0600
I doubt not God is good, well-meaning, kind,
And did He stoop to quibble could tell why
The little buried mole continues blind,
Why flesh that mirrors Him must some day die,
Make plain the reason tortured Tantalus
Is baited by the fickle fruit, declare
If merely brute caprice dooms Sisyphus
To struggle up a never-ending stair.
Inscrutable His ways are, and immune
To catechism by a mind too strewn
With petty cares to slightly understand
What awful brain compels His awful hand.
Yet do I marvel at this curious thing:
To make a poet black, and bid him sing!
