God is Not a Thing

God is not something,
some thing
to believe in or not.

God is not an object.
God does not exist.
Nor does God not exist.

God is a concept.
God is a word.

God is a viewpoint
waiting to be heard.

God is a way
of framing
this wild experience.

God is absurd.

God is a recognition 
of the inherent intelligence
of everything.

God is an exploration
pushing the borders
of the torturous boredom
of eternal omniscience.

God is a decision
to embrace our birthright
as humans,
to grab this life by the horns
and live it
for God's sake.

God is love.

God is the choice
to believe
in beauty.

God is meaning.
God is free will.
God is destiny.
God is parallel universes coexisting.

God is yes.
God is acceptance.
God is presence.
God is connection.
God is essence.
God is perception.
God is awareness.
God is consciousness.

God is faith.
God is doubt.
God is material.
God is spiritual.
God is chaos.
God is panpsychism.

God is naked women.
God is horny men.
God is nonbinary.
God is both hairy and shaven.

God is you.
God is me.
God is your worst enemy.
God is your lover.
God is your friend.
God is doing it over and over again.

God is Jesus.
God is Darwin.
God is Richard Dawkins.
God is Macaulay Culkin.

God is depression.
God is infection.
God is rejection.
God is ejaculation.
God is impregnation.
God is C-section.

God is loss.
God is hate.
God is war.
God is violence.
God is murder.
God is pain.
God is racism.
God is suicide.
God is genocide.

God is darkness.
God is light.
God gets down so
God can get back up again.

God is low.
God is high.
God is THC.
God is SSRIs.

God is truth.
God is lies.

God is math.
God is science.
God is logic.
God is language.
God is thought.
God is order.
God is justice.

God is seeing.
God is feeling.
God is smell.
God is hearing.

And God is most definitely theorems:
Fermat's Last,
Gödel's Incompleteness.

God is an experiment,
a paradox of thought,
a double slit.

Quantum entanglement.
Mandelbrot set.
Gavagai.
Riemann zeta function.

God is problems,
halting, trolley.

God is cosmic.
God is earthly.
God is creativity.
God is ineffability.

God is courage.
God is grit.

So why not
make the best of it
and stop pretending
that we're separate?
