Faith

I don't believe in any god
It's not that I'm a negative person
I don't even like being Atheist

It's just that Theism seems so alien to me...
Why do people believe in something when there is no proof?
Why can't I share their views?

Try as I might, I cannot grasp the idea of an omniscient being
Or even just a group of higher powers


So I ask those with faith...
Not why you have it
Nor do you enjoy it

I ask you what it feels like
To feel truly secure
And know that salvation awaits?
