Do you know people who live
their lives
along the lines of this
‘prayer’?
*
Our so-called father,
Who art in an imaginary ‘heaven’,
I don’t hallow or worship your ‘name’.
Your imaginary
‘kingdom’ will never come.
Your imaginary ‘will’ can’t ever been done,
Whether on earth, or in your imaginary heaven.
I’ll enjoy my daily bread, no thanks to you!
I don’t need, nor will I give forgiveness to
anyone,
especially from the likes of imaginary you!
As for temptations, I can manage these on my
own, thank you.
As for evil, it’s everywhere, and it’s
likely you causing most of it,
Since you’re so-called sovereign (presuming
you exist at all)!
There is no kingdom, and if there is, it’s certainly NOT YOURS!
Power and glory are my money/position/prestige. You have none!
To me, you’re one broke, powerless, impotent,
imaginary non-god.
There is no forever and ever – just NOW.
AMEN,
Good-bye,
Good Riddance
Good Riddance

This ‘prayer’ is laid out in
the form of a tree,
representing the tree of the
non-believer’s life.
But it lacks a treetop (where the * is positioned).
What do you think should go
at the apex of this ‘tree’?

Here is God’s response:
“Now consider this,
you who forget God,
Lest I tear you in pieces,
And there be none to deliver:
Whoever offers praise glorifies Me;
And to him who orders his conduct aright
I will show the salvation of God.”
you who forget God,
Lest I tear you in pieces,
And there be none to deliver:
Whoever offers praise glorifies Me;
And to him who orders his conduct aright
I will show the salvation of God.”
Psalm 50:22-23
