If your claim is evidence free
Then I will view it atheistically Nothing for it Then I'll adore it As that which was created imaginatively Always been agnostic re where things come fromBecause I don't see it as a two headed problem I am atheistic Though not pessimistic I consider the answer "god" no more valid than "goblins" God is one option oh so unlikelyWhen we consider all of the things that might be Chances are tiny That "He" is behind it Even if the true answer lies forever beyond our mastery (I am now struggling to get my point across in even remotely limerickal format)

I don’t agree that it’s evidence free
Though we view it subjectively There’s thought and there’s wisdom Love and altruism And to choose them is good we agree If the truth is then what we both soughtThen how can we know what we ought? Saying love is a good thing And hate is the wrong thing If we’re just atoms evolved from some rocks I believe what I’ve said here is truthEven without empirical proof But I’m grateful for life Even with all its strife And for that I give thanks that’s profuse Straggler writes: (I am now struggling to get my point across in even remotely limerickal format) It's taking me more time than I'd like to admit. Everybody is entitled to my opinion.

Too black and white and simplistic
That between god or NOT we must pick It’s not fifty-fifty Those odds are too shifty So that’s why I remain atheistic To restrict the options to twoIs not a very sensible thing to do There are so many And it could be any The options you list just too few to be true Still thinking far too anthropomorphicallyImbuing nature with consciousness just like me A vacuous assumption Too full of presumption Better to view reality more realistically Being agnostic regarding first causeIs a position with very few flaws But to call it divine Is a meaningless line When everything known flows from natural laws

Too fucking drunk to be meaningful
Far far to gone to be reasonable GDR better than me This much I can see Yet I find that barely conceivable Many hours in the pubLed astray by that Beelzebub Drunk too much Look like Screaming Lord Sutch And now I feel the need to eat some glorious grub It's probably just dehydrationBut my hunger needs alleviation Kebab looks nice But I'll pay the price And tomorrow suffer alienation. BUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!

A prime mover or not there may be
I’m thinking realistically There is or there isn’t I must be persistent Though we can’t know objectively If the prime mover exists it is trueThat the options are more than a few And so are the options If the Big Bang just popped in From a mindless pin point with no clue Thinking anthropomorphicallyWhen considering our ontology In our humanness We will ponder our quest As part of greater reality So I agree that whatever our viewsI enjoy a discussion with you And though we may not have proof There’s still ultimate truth And we both want to know what is true Edited by GDR, : No reason given.

I’ve been to a few London Pubs

Your beliefs are subjective indeed
Based on the most very human of needs I don’t know What makes reality flow But from superstition our minds need be freed Question of how things existDeserves our most evidenced hypothesis Humble beginnings Has firm underpinnings But God that just is contradicts this analysis

My head is pounding and sore
Was it five pints six pints or more? I lost count So I cannot recount After my rhyming I slept on the floor

Your beliefs are subjective as well
But on this there is no need to dwell But I think that we know What makes reality flow In this field our science excels It’s what undergirds realityThat’s really of interest to me Calling it superstition Does not make it fiction There is more than just what we perceive Superstition from the outside inImpacts the world that we reside in By that definition Even Straggler’s cognition Is superstition that guides him There’s more than photons and electronsMuch of what is unseen we still count on There are all kinds of emotions And intelligent notions Even the LH Collider can’t work on Edited by GDR, : No reason given.

Emotions are inside our brains
Very different to electrons photons and trains Die and their gone Objective reality not put upon A reality that psychology rather than colliders explains How can I be superstitiousWhen our ignorance I find so delicious The theistic answer Is that of the chancer Which is to true investigation far too pernicious To assert there is more than perceivableDoesn’t excuse advocating all that is conceivable This is fraught With that which comes up short And leads to advocating whatever one finds believable Desist from this I pleadThis warning you really really must heed All is subjective Is just too protective Of the sort of thinking that is based on human need

Hello Chuck. Bearing in mind the rhyme possibilities of your name I am sorely tempted to start a lymerickal contest with you too.
But, in the name of family decency, I shall refrain.

You say that emotions are gone
When our last breath has been drawn This is hardly objective And surely subjective You’re still with us, I hope I’m not wrong Yes there’s more than what is perceivableThat doesn’t mean all is conceivable We all come to conclusions Some based on illusions Living by what’s most believable I think far too much you protestThe subjective views I attest For me you accuse For yourself you excuse The subjective views you profess Everybody is entitled to my opinion.

You gentlemen should pay attention
To the limerick form & dimension! As strict as a haiku, Its Judges won't like you - Not even an honorable mention! - xongsmith, 5.7d

There’s a critic in every crowd
Who thinks that his rhymes are endowed With wit and direction And subtle correction Without any discretion allowed
