Challenge
Religion in 15-50 words.
In 15 - 50 words sum up your most honest thoughts and/or feelings on or about or in the vicinity of the dreaded topic of religion. (p.s; for all you gorgeously rambunctious rebels out there, I'm not actually going to put the word limit restriction in the challenge, just in case you've got more to say.) I'm hoping to drum up discussions, so please feel free to participate, whether it be in your own post or in the delectably contentious comment sections.
God, where art thou
God, where art thou
In this dark and lonely night
I reach out to you in desperation
But you are nowhere in sight
I call out your name in anguish
But no answer do I hear
I pray for your guidance
But you seem to have disappeared
I search and seek and question
But you remain elusive and vague
Is it my faith that's lacking
Or are you simply not engaged
I know you are meant to be omnipotent
But in my pain and my despair
You seem so far away
Like you don't even care
I want to believe in your love
And your presence in my life
But sometimes it feels like you're nowhere
Leaving me alone in my strife
So I cry out to the heavens
God, where art thou
I long for your embrace
But it feels like you have abandoned me now
