three am and i’m contemplating life that old woulda’ shoulda’ coulda’ and then my thoughts turned to the world i live in right now what if there were no religions no rationale for defending some man-made doctrine of righteousness and who is righteous no umbrella of excuses for murdering another human being would we be any more inhumane than we are now
step right up

pick
your god

a lot more

choose from

invest your existence
on
capitalism
communism
nationalism
or
just plain old
narcissism
keep in mind
that
some

an extended warranty
for
everlasting life
while others
offer
return tickets
from
behind the veil
of
death
however
the ftc

validated any of these claims
so buyer beware

the god selection process
may not
provide you
with
a rational explanation
for
an irrational existence
