Agree to Disagree
A poetic between a Christian and an atheist
Hello mister believer.
Hello my friend
Still believe in your sky friend?
Yes, to no end.
How do you believe in what your eyes can’t see?
Just because it’s what my eyes can’t see doesn’t mean it can’t be.
So you may, but me? I don’t think I could go that way.
Hey! to each his own, so that’s perfectly okay.
So you think you’ll see a day when your spirit will fly?
You think it won’t just because it’s not visible to the eye?
I’m just saying I believe in what’s evident in facts
Well you believe in evidence and facts, but I believe Heaven is a fact.
So how do we navigate these two lanes of mystery?
Easy. We don’t have to think the same we can just agree to disagree.

Flags flew freely in the summer breeze. They consisted of a gray and white brain against a black background. Scales of gold sat just beneath the image of the organ. The sun rose at just the zenith and shared its light and warmth with the attendees to one of the country-states’ greatest accomplishments: the graduation of two women who had been in a halfway house and found their passions for art design and communications. Mala and Sheltham looked on with sunglasses and cheered the graduates. With the knowledge they had months to go before being up on that stage, they looked at each other and grinned. After the ceremony, they walked into a pizza restaurant that fit their budgets.

Faith. My brother just passed away last week, and this poem hits home.
"Agree to disagree" is a powerful lesson many never learn. Important topic delivered in a thoughtful way.
As you say, to each his own. As long as we get on with each other. To me religion seems incredibly divisive.
