the Dao of Atheism :jeffers' petroglyph, pre-dakota, minnesota : the Shaman Atheist 19/81

19

Give up knowledge and wisdom
give up tests and degrees
and it will be a better for everyone.

Renounce kindness, morality, and justice,
and people will return to love and mercy.

Get rid of professionalism, eliminate profit, give up luxuries,
and theft and embezzlement will disappear.

If this advice is too complicated
then follow
simplicity
selflessness
and the lessening of desires.

Much unseen is here.
Much unseen is here.
It cannot all be explained
by science or by god
yet.

We know much less than is knowable.
Mystery is manifest on the earth and in the universe.
Neither theism nor atheism can explain it.
Attempts to explain the universe are entertaining
but still meaningless.

To deny mystery is human.
To embrace it is the dao.
