Unravelling God

Of course that's the thing about faith
in an absolute Divine Spirit that one
cannot question for the creator of 
everything simply is and those who
doubt spurn the simple trust and belief
that the faithful wrap their lives within.
It is, of course, most convenient that
from primal antiquity to the present
god is portrayed as masculine. On the
other hand, those who believe that the
creator of all things is simply the nature
of all things identify as female, fecund
and nurturing. The tension between the
two is that of science unravelling the
mysteries of nature's creation versus
the lofty guiding hand of a Supreme
Being who saw fit to design human
creatures in his image, then considered
the practicality of an understudy and
enabler upon whom the labour of birth
would fall while the original choice
would set forth to wage war against 
all refusing to acknowledge the supreme
nature of the divinity whose benevolence
oversees the affairs of humankind
now and again dabbling in genocide
but always returning to the roots of their
inspiration reminding womankind in
the process of her subservient role.
