- I'm of the opinion that these topics should remain a private affair...

Would it be considered disrespectful

Or inconsiderate on my part if I were

To blather on about how I think it's

Absolute nonsense to believe that our

Lives are a result of a higher power?

Would it be a source of discomfort

If I contradicted everything you said

About how it's important to you and

Laid out all of the reasons why I

Think it's utterly ridiculous all around?

I bet it would ruffle your feathers

And make you feel like I'm attacking

You if I didn't hold back and shoved

It in your face every time you spoke,

You'd feel terrible if I did that to you.

Yet, you continuously do that to me.

You blather on about this stuff as if

It was something everyone believes

Or is comfortable accepting as truth.

If anything, you're the disrespectful one

To not take into account the possibility

That your beliefs aren't shared by all,

And that not everyone wants to hear

About it, or are relating to such notions.

You just go on like it's every day talk for all.

It annoys me beyond words 'cause I

Make every effort to spare you discomfort,

But you have no such considerations for

Others, and then get offended that it's not

Well received by some, as if not feeling

As you do is being mean to you.

It's not, it's only about boundaries,

And realizing not everyone feels

There's such a thing as the existence

Of a deity, for some, that means 

Absolutely nothing.

It holds no validity,

No importance,

No doubts.

It's just nonsense.

I realize that may be shocking

To you, just as I find it shocking

That you hold such beliefs,

but that's the reality,

We don't all feel as you do.

So please, a bit of respect.

Keep this stuff to yourself.
