I love the poem but never thought about it as hard as you, Julie. I just like the idea of someone who isn't necessarily an atheist, but hopes there is no God. This poem sometimes makes me think of a wonderful barber I had for several years who told me that every morning he prays for two things. First, he asks God for health. Next he asks God to stay out of his business.
