Poetry: "Faithing the Truth" by Nick Ansel



Atheists claim that there is no God.
I think they're right.
If all we can see in the world is injustice, despair or boredom 
we are living in a world where God does not exist.

Atheists are simply facing reality.

Religion is wishful thinking.

But I'm not an atheist.

I just don't want to face reality. 
I want to change it.

It's up to us whether God exists or not.
If we live out God's justice and mercy
God becomes real.
Then the world of the atheist has to
make room for another world.

A world of compassion, hope and excitement.

This piece is a meditation on Jesus' words, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." It was given on a television program on BBC.
