Proud Man

Being an apostle of Pyrron
A certain man must insist
Religion is quite redundant,
God can safely be dismissed.

Faith is so terribly passé,
What can’t be proved isn’t there,
Those deluded who say otherwise,
Well, they haven’t got a payer.

All the wars and atrocities
To which religions incline,
Man can manage perfectly well
Without needing the divine.

Pity feeble-minded believers,
Let churches crumble and fall,
Gather scriptures up and burn them,
For atheists know it all.

Celebrate mankind’s accession,
With God dethroned it must be
Man is now the supreme being,
The universe’s apogee.

For the self-proclaimed free thinker,
It comes as a great relief
To be so certain he believes
He’s not blinded by belief.
