Visions
The Death of God?
God, who is Great, indeed,
and the great Architect of the Universe,
disappeared from the scene.
Atheists were dancing in the streets
rejoicing,
proclaiming the death of God.
John True
was very distressed!
Then things began to happen
or not happen!
Automobiles ceased to function,
the sun began to burn out,
great storms wracked the Earth,
enormous tidal waves
swept the coasts.
John True
sat on his lawn
one starry June night
watching the stars
winking out, one by one.
When he viewed a blood red sun,
he knew the end was near!
The American Atheist Science Council
met to consider what was to be done.
A loud voice interrupted their meeting:
"By the way, people,
I am not dead,
I just decided to leave this Universe.
You won't believe it
but I was its keystone.
But since you don't need me,
run it yourself, while you may!"
There followed a giant peal of ringing laughter!
John True awoke
from his fevered sleep.
"Thank you, Jesus,
that this was just a nightmare!
and the great Architect of the Universe,
disappeared from the scene.
Atheists were dancing in the streets
rejoicing,
proclaiming the death of God.
John True
was very distressed!
Then things began to happen
or not happen!
Automobiles ceased to function,
the sun began to burn out,
great storms wracked the Earth,
enormous tidal waves
swept the coasts.
John True
sat on his lawn
one starry June night
watching the stars
winking out, one by one.
When he viewed a blood red sun,
he knew the end was near!
The American Atheist Science Council
met to consider what was to be done.
A loud voice interrupted their meeting:

There followed a giant peal of ringing laughter!
