My name for this group will be "Bridge", formerly
Iamthesonofthedeviliam, oftentimes Mike or "TheMiketheBlas", and I
feel much better now.

"My Dog Saw Me See God" is a poetry thread that focuses on atheist
ecstatic poetry.


I'm an atheist mystic by:

TheMiketheBlas

I'm an atheist mystic,

fluent in Christian and the skeptic encrypted,

Dabbled in Allah and Judah and Krishna,

Balanced by Buddha who really does miss ya.

ALL mystics are atheist

are all atheists mystic?

Or are you stuck being sensible?

while I bask in the light

of the meme invincible.


Feel free to contribute a poem of your own or another's.

Did you hear about the dyslexic agnostic insomniac?
He lays awake all night wondering if there really is a Dog.

The Broken Cross
Author Unknown

I broke the Cross of Jesus.
The one he beared for me.
Beneath the strain of fret and sin
no longer could it be.

Although the cross weighted heavy,
He asked no help that day.
Stumbling, dragging, pulling hard,
He made it all the way.

His hands were nailed,
his feet were bound,
His side was pierced in pain.
But still he prayed and asked his God:

"Father forgive them", he cried out loud,
"for they know not what they do".
And when he died the world soon knew,
He was Lord for me and you.

And now the cross is broken,
from weight of lasting sin.
And no one stands with open heart,
to let the savoir in.

So now we know what we must do
to some day gain our lost.
We must pray each day,
and turn from sin,
to fix THE BROKEN CROSS.

I think the tendency of people to want proof can provide some
interesting scenarios.

Everyone wants to see, see, see.

I thought, "what if I did see God?" Would anyone believe me?

Then I thought, "someone has to be seeing me seeing God."

Then I thought, "What if it was my dog?" and I thought it sounded so
funny that I knew that was a title for something.

Here is a haiku:

I read your John Burton quote. It inspired me to write a little Bible
poem.

LOL.

I'd say there are more in the Bible than you think but...that was
funny.

Would you care to read a post on the bible from an atheist mystic?
I've attempted it before but no one really got it.
