God to me is but a mode of expression;
a marker in texts,
an excuse for all kinds of cruelty
and dangerous superstition

I don't understand why some folks defend the concept
of god,
even though it should be obvious,
that if a god existed,
it would either be utterly powerless
or a psychopath,
so in any case no one you'd need at all;
in the first case a laughable fool;
in the other an entity to be fought
with all means
- but it seems most people have a need
to be Stockholm syndromized,
glorifying evil and lousy conditions,
taking to it with god-houses
and special places in the calendar
