Today God must Die

I should not have come here.
Why not? You were created to suffer.
Because I am a woman?
Because you care.
About you?
More, much more—about them.
As do you.
Perhaps, but in a very different way.

Do only fools fall in love?
Yes, wise fools. The truly foolish do not fall,
they only experience the attraction of love.
Are we wise, you and I?
Soon you will get your answer: they come.
You will die. Must I watch and remain?
What will I do with my pain?
What you’ve always done: bear it
until you learn a better way, until you transform yourself.
Into what?
Compassion. You will learn to detach yourself.
You will learn the deepest form of sorrow.
You will engender, gestate and birth joy.

Tell me again where you go after your trial?
I go to the ‘not yet place’ I spoke of.
Will I know you again in a new time?

He takes her proffered hand and holds it gently for a moment
(their last moment)
and she receives her answer: all that remains for her, of her,
to bear her pain,
and his,
and yes, the others’ also.
(for they know not what they do and it begins by forgiving)

Today, God must die and she
who loves Him beyond herself, can only witness.

please don't take this badly cause I mean it in a really good way...cause I like them...
it reads like a rock opera kind of...

Or like the begining of one of Prince's songs (that is a compliment too)

I really enjoyed reading it

One must learn the 'love thyself' truth, then perhaps, an understanding of God (if there is a God) might not create such a dark entity. Personally, I am not convinced of this greater power, at least not the Godhead most people depend upon for fairness, justice and mercy. Just watching news reports of the what is happening to children in Afghanistan, and to Iranians who are challenging the phony election results makes me question the existence of any truly merciful Godforce.
