Elucidating Questions

Prayer is so pointless to me

In my theism the gods are always offering some of the things I hear people pray for

And the other things are beyond their control

You can ask for guidance and love from the Universe, but they are always offering those things, you just have to look for them

Protection from the gods only exists as long as you walk with them

Listen to them

If you stray off the path then they cannot  guarantee your safety

And the protection of the gods

The guidance

Is never exactly what you think it will be

It’s not like you come to them and say

Gods, this is my ideal life, give it to me

And if you’re dealing with humans

Sometimes for all their protection and guidance they can do nothing

What will be will be

Bad things happening are not the gods turning away from me

I do not have to beg them to return

This is a place of chaos

They are the threads of order about it

Praying to a god to beg for love seems cruel on the god’s part

Plying him

I read the Bible god, do you love me yet?

It’s as if they believe that some day their god will come down with his little wand and give them everything they want

I would feel like any god I have to appease is no good

Mine don’t judge

Because they know I’m a stupid human with complexities beyond my own compre

I apologise when I do the wrong thing

But I’ve never felt malice

Never felt like I was judged

Tired understanding

You tiny fool

It’s okay

I almost pity them

Fearing your god

I don’t say anything

People should be free to worship their own things

But prayer makes me so sad
