Atheist to Theist Poetry...

This sign is posted in Olympia, Washington. It got me to thinking of a version of my own.
Here's is their version....

At this season of
THE WINTER SOLSTICE
may reason prevail.
There are no gods,
no devils, no angels,
no heaven, or hell.
There is only
our natural world.

Religion is but
myth and superstition
that hardens hearts
and enslaves minds.

by the Freedom from Religion Foundation


Here is my version...


At this season of
MERRY CHRISTMAS
may hope prevail.

There is a GOD,
and nothing separates us from His love.
Not death, nor life, nor angels
nor principalities, nor powers
nor things present or things to come.


Not height, or depth
or any other creature
can separate us from the
Love of GOD
which is in
CHRIST JESUS our LORD.

Religion is but a belief system.
Only by basing it on
Jesus Christ
the gracious gift of Christmas
can any one's
heart be saved
and mind renewed.


by Roberta Wells (and Romans 8:37:39)
