Raised to believe in God

an all-powerful, all-knowing

all-seeing, all-hearing entity

*

"He" is supposed to be love.

So much to the contrary.

Corruption

Exclusion

Greed

How can one believe

when so much pain and suffering

is allowed everywhere on earth?

*

Are we created by God

or did humans create God?

So many unknowns

Too many unknowns.

Now agnostic,

I believe in

Morality

Humanity

Love

inspirational
