You’re definitely not gullible right?

Yas queen. COVID’s not over! And even so, God and your soul aren’t important enough to risk contacting the common cold lol

My search for truth in my early 30’s led me to study the world’s religions, having grown up secular and feeling like something was missing. But don’t let this anecdote or others like it get in the way of your logic. You’re doing pretty good for a hairless monkey!

Survival of the fittest. Evolution does not value truth or mortality, so for example secret rapists are a highly successful adaptation regardless of the morality of the action. If evolution is a correct model of reality, this pesky religion and moral agency will diminish with time. True progress. Maybe we can start counting the years from the big bang instead of that Jesus event or w/e!

Oh what, those pesky moral agents who created you in their image? and to think they’re just monkeys from the muck!!

The year has little to do with it

The irony. Why exactly does the entire world accept the current year as being 2024? What are we 2024 years away from?

Glad to hear this dumb monkey evolved past the tribal stage. You are very smart!

I grew up secular with no religion and my search for truth eventually led me to realize God exists. But after reading your comment I realize I had just been a dumb tribal monkey. I forgot how I must’ve grown up religious and just forgot, and my lazy thinking led me to this convenient falsehood. You’ve really got a deep understanding though- can I buy your book?

Lol wut

Right. Now we do smart, n know how we exist cuz science. Big bang long time ago now we here, no sign of design anywhere in this place amirite. Whenever in doubt of our scientific paradigm, try adding either millions of years or millions of miles to the equation to add plausibility

Yo man this is like, deep thinking bro

As a misguided act of gratitude

It was those damned churches staying open during COVID

I like this one better than poem 2 personally. It’s another take on what I see as a similar tension, between being grounded and in the air / aloof. The line about fruits, like the idea but I think you could potentially flesh it out more. What draws the “you” in the poem to the ground and fruits? It seems like a preference that isn’t touched on, maybe that’s the intention but seems like describing their preference could help further color the subject’s tension / struggle

I like it. Wondering if “… In slight” was a typo or just a play on words. Also I think it would be prettier without curse words but depends what you’re ultimately going for. This feels to me more like song lyrics than straight prose with that style of repetition

Not on OSX… Well, only… Sometimes. Can’t stand it
