Flaubert - Shakespeare's Monkeys

Flaubert

I sat with Gustave by
the stone tablet he found
in Iraq

and he said, "Stephan
the world has no answers

only questions."

The sweat on my brow
beaded, forming a crown
of salt in the heat of the desert,

"But what of this," I pointed
at the words in stone before us.

"I do not exist."
Signed, "GOD"

He smiled, "When I showed the atheist
he said, 'See! I told you so!'
so perhaps even the answer
is not answer enough."

Alcuin of York -

If you can't even believe Mr. God, who can you trust?

Alcuin of Galilee

Interesting idea, but I cant help getting lost in the imagery and form. I'm not exactly an experienced poet, maybe someone could explain it to me (help me learn to help you refine*! xD)

* odds of me being useful, low!

According to Douglas Adams -- who was the authority on all things -- God is based on faith and without faith, God no longer exists. With proof of God's existence, there is no need for faith, therefore if we find irrefutable proof of God then there is no more faith, ergo there is no God. Adams points to the babelfish -- being a creature that could not possibly have evolved randomly, therefore proof of intelligent design, ie God. You have God's graffiti.

In both scenarios, God vanishes in a puff of logic. Personally I think you should market your miracle salt (which would make you a salt seller) -- although there's a big chick-shaped pillar of it somewhere near Gomorrah if memory serves.

I am always in favor of selling a salt with batteries.
