Are you there, God?

It’s me. Alex.

I have something to say to you.

So, I don’t know if you’re even there

and listening right now. But if you are...

I need to ask you:

Why would you go and create

So many problems in the world? So much

War. So many killings. Too much discrimination.

Too many forces of evil that wouldn’t be

around in a world created by a ruler

that wasn’t as cruel as you.

If you’re really up there, WHY

Just WHY

did you have to go and create

so many challenges in my own life?

From all the sh#t that my family

has had to put up with, to giving me a condition

that totally f#$ked up the wires in my brain.

From being bullied and alone in high school,

to always feeling alone and depressed too often

in my life.

If you’re really watching, what’s the point in giving

us all

so many reasons to doubt

your existence in the first place? Even aside from

all I already said, science would seemingly prove

that the Bible is fiction, while history seems to show

That some things do NOT happen for any good reason.

It seems like life is a puzzle that is solved by people

rather than

blind faith in ANYTHING, and that nothing

really happens after you die, despite

what some book written thousands of years ago

may claim.

Everything seems to suggest that you are

either a fantasy that isn’t worth believing,

no different from Santa and the Tooth Fairy,

or someone who doesn’t deserve praise

for all the trouble you left for the world

that you supposedly created.

So please,

just give me some proof.

Show me that you’re real.

Then, and only then,

will my view of the world radically change,

and I will gladly accept you,

in the hopes that MAYBE,

JUST maybe,

I will finally find some sort of

inner peace.

Because not much else seems to be working for me...
