God and Love
Many humans still actually believe in a Personal God
Who doles out rewards and levies punishments
Others insist that God is only a force
That resides in us and everywhere else in the universe
Still others cry that God is nothing but Love
Apparently God means different things to different people
To talk about God is to get into the quagmire of semantics
So it's better to talk about one thing that everybody agrees
That thing is Love
Love is not an entity; it's a quality
Something you can understand and relate to
Something you don't have to wreck your brain to prove of its existence
To me God is a three-letter word that is overused
It is a relic, a hangover of ignorance and obfuscation
It has been used for murder
While Love is Peace and life-affirming
To get hung up in God is a sign of arrested development
It's far better to expend our energy for Love
I love asking people of what they think of God
And the answer they give me would tell me
How far along they are as thinkers
I am proposing that we strike out the word God in our vocabulary
In its place we talk about Life Force and Love instead
