You Oughta Been Prayin'

Picture
I am very much an atheist. I don't believe there is an almighty power residing on a higher plane. The only time my belief is challenged is when I listen to Nina Simone sing “Sinnerman”. In those ten minutes and twenty seconds, I believe I can be destroyed completely without mercy by some higher power that I know doesn't exist.

I know it doesn't exist, but that does not change that I need to repent, to worship, to pray to this object I don't believe in. For those ten minutes and twenty seconds I am unwaveringly religious and devout because I am afraid. I am terrified, and all I can do is pray.
