Thor's Day: Doubts

Of belief & disbelief

By Morris Dean






Apprehensive atheists agonize:
What if what Christians say believing buys
    is true? I'd miss their salvation,
    suffer vexatious damnation,
and miss partying with believing guys.



Doubting Christians question their mirrored eyes:
What if all that we've been taught are lies?
    Can believing be all it takes
    to win heaven, in just two shakes,
and who could live for always in the skies?

  1. Believers and non-believers alike are subject to doubts regarding death and what may (or may not) lie beyond. Short observations in verse.

  2. Ah, doubt: the catalyst that keeps "the great conversation" going.

    1. Ah, right, "the great conversation" - if such a thing is possible between the two extremes, and not needing to be relegated to like-minded folks at either end to talk among themselves.
