If There Were No God

 

 

If there were no God

I could do what I like,

Except within the law of course,

Which I could change to make wrong right.

 

If there were no God

I could do to you before you do to me,

No golden rule to foster relationship

Or to ruin my selfish spree.

 

If there were no God

So much would be possible,

The sky would be the limit

For the powerful and the horrible.

 

If there were no God

There would be no accountability,

Except for the law of course

Which would be too blind to see.

 

If there were no God

I could be whatever I want to be:

Transgender, no gender,

Just simple, old deluded me.

 

If there were no God

It would be just first to the line,

And whatever was on offer

All could be mine.

 

You see, if there were no God

I could be God

And you could be too, if you wanted,

None would be a fraud.

 

All would be authentic

Within their own right

As long as they could win

The inevitable fight.

 

If there were no God

What a wonderful place this would be!

Like the fairy tales we read

I would forever live happily.

 

If there were no God

There would be nothing unimaginable:

No restraints no constraints,

Nothing would be unreachable.

 

 

If there were no God

Can’t you see what I mean?

Everyone would be a king or queen, may be both,

If that was their dream.

 

If there were no God

There would be no God delusion,

We would be clear about our godhood

Instead of this confusion.

 

Or for that matter, I would be God

And you would be too

And there would be a whole world of Gods

Made up of me and you.

 

Wouldn’t that be great?

Wouldn’t that be fabulous?

No Confucius or no Mohamed

Not even Jesus!

 

All of life would be real,

Not some fairy tale

About some Almighty God creating

The first male and female.

 

 

These legends and myths would be understood

For what they really are

And this world, at least for me,

Would be better by far.

 

But all of this is:

If there were no God,

So please understand the premise

Before you begin to applaud

 

This “If” will not happen

Since God already exists,

It is time you open your eyes

And clear away the mist.

 

For if there were no God

There would be no you, no me,

No sky or earth

Or the deep blue sea.

 

No redemption, no salvation,

No Saviour, no Christ,

Hence, no kinsman redeemer

For our sin-sacrifice.

 

No life right now,

No life to come,

No Loving Father

To send His only begotten Son.

 

 

No Bible, no guide

To guide us into truth,

No questions, no issues,

No evidential proof.

 

No heaven, no hell

No deliverance from evil,

No Lucifer, no Satan,

No adversary, the Devil.

 

No life, no death,

No burial, no grave,

Not one of us alive right now, right here!

Hence, nothing would be real!

 

If there were no God

There would be no accountability

And this for the godless is the issue!

Hopefully, not for you or me!

 

It therefore follows

Naturally and spiritually,

There must be a God

Given all that we see!

 

We will be held accountable

Beyond this earthly law,

It will be God’s divine judgment

In which there is no flaw.
