Poetry by Brian37 (poems by an atheist)
Offline I post all over the web, but I want a back up in case my computer or one particular website goes down.
I have decided to edit this post because I do not like giving people the wrong impression. I cannot read Shakespeare to save my life. I just remember this one line from act 5 scene 5 and put my own spin on it. I've had to explain this over and over so here I decided to put that in this post so there is no more presuming what I know or don't know. But the plot of MacBeth is the old lesson, you can have everything and nothing at all at the same time. And how did all that cruelty serve you in the end? But I do not like play summeries calling him a Nihisist, because it is possible to not do what he did, and accept life as being finite, and sitll have morals without religion.
NEW EDIT 9/19/22 I got pissed at myself that I was scared to read MacBeth, so tonight, I forced myself to read it online. Now mind you, I did not understand it line for line, but basically Macbeth was an assdhole who murdered his way to the top, and did not believe the 3 witches prophcies. He murdered Duncan and had Banquo murdered. Banquo's ghost haunts Macbeth. And made the grave mistake of attacking McDuff's family and killing them(If I am reading this correctly) But Lady MacBeth has a guilty conscience and kills herself, upon finding out Macbeth basically says that life is not worth living and he should go down with a fight anyway, but refuses to fight Macduff face to face and Macduff kills him as the hero. ( I SERIOUSLY read the entire play every line, tonight. I even know where the famous line "double double, toil and trouble". comes from. The three witches, basically saying "look out Macbeth" your ass is in trouble.
So basically the moral of the play, don't be a fucking asshole when trying to get to the top, or "the bigger they are the harder they fall". Reminds me of the movie Scarface and all the shitty things Tony did to get to the top and all for not. But Sosa in that case was not a good guy either.
QUOTE WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE MACBETH:"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Here is my spin on that wonderful and profound line:
Out, Out brief candle, By Brian37
To-deities, and to-gods, and to-God
Creeps in this petty tyrant from day to day
Until the extinction of humanity new ones will be invented
And all our yesterday's Gods have been created by fools
The way to tribal death. Out out brief myth
Claims are but a walking shadow, a poor reflection
That struts our narcissism upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by the credulous, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.

( Brian you moron, your picture was taken from a thread in 2007 called "Atheist Convention Pictures !" on this very website so your face is already "out there" courtesy of the Rational Response Squad )
Brian37 wrote:...just like anti abortion nuts post names faces and places of abortion providers. Not that I am scared. Too much of a coward to beat me up yourself? So you post my picture to "wink" at others as if to imply "hey PC atheists or theists if you see this guy, WINK WINK, you know what to do", so since you didn't actually do it yourself you can absolve yourself from any responsibility if anything happens to me.Oh my God, dude do you really think you matter so much that people are out to get you ? Paranoid much ?
Brian37 wrote:Is that what you want? You won't get a physical fight out of me, and if you did assault me you'd be the one going to jail, not me. That is what zealots do, get physical when they get offended.Please tell me more about what zealots do since your an expert on that, too.
Brian37 wrote:Now you are going about this the wrong way. If we want theists to see us as individuals, then using "you make me look bad" is a stupid tactic. If you want to make a better argument, rather than lumping me up with all atheists, just simply call me the asshole you think I am.
I would call you an "ass hole" if you like but that term is insufficient and does not properly encompass your vast assortment of neurotic tendencies.
Brian37 wrote:And yes, I am an asshole to people who force women to wear burkas and wont let them drive. I am an asshole to dicks who shoot girls who merely want an education. I am an asshole to people who use voting based on religion to deny gays equal rights. I am an asshole to people who want to use laws based on religion to control the bodies of women.
Congratulations on your coveted status then, all hail Brian ....the ( self ) righteous ass hole.
Brian wrote:You want to judge me for my cussing and blasphemy, when that is all I do compared to people who get physical when they don't like what they hear. Kinda like you posting my picture in hopes someone will "take action".
Again, you stupid dork, that picture is posted on another thread from the Rational Response Squad, does that mean Sapient is a "co-conspirator" in this assassination plot by allowing your picture to be posted on his web site ?
Brian37 wrote:Merely being offensive does not make me a zealot or even a bigot.
...being a zealot is what makes you a zealot.
Brian37 wrote:And making fun of ABBA? You think that really hurts my feelings?
You're even a zealot for ABBA, so true, so true.
Brian37 wrote:Now just simply say "fuck you Brian I don't like you, you are an asshole". The difference is when other people offend me I simply make a choice. I either bitch back, or ignore them.
Okay, fine with me.
Brian37 wrote:And again, you are also bringing me attention you say I don't deserve. Not so smart considering that you know I will respond which bumps up the post again.
Darn it, you out smarted me again ! Gosh you're clever.
I am in the picture. I know when the picture was taken, and no not paranoid. Secondly, even if you are just fucking with me, there are people who wouldn't simply be talking smack and having been yelled at and having had someone try to fire me, this isn't about you or your attempt to put a mirror to my face. If I was paranoid I wouldn't have allowed anyone to take the picture. I wouldn't have gone to the event at all. And none of what I have said in my criticism of religion and blasphemy of religion is new.
I think you were trying to say "This is what you look like to others", and I've already said I don't care. Religion needs offending. Not to get rid of it, but keep it off it's undeserved pedestal.
Zealots get physical. Zealots pass laws that deny rights and oppress others. All I am doing is bitching. You can call me a zealot when I act out in violence or pass laws denying rights to others. Neither of which I have any desire or plans to do.
No I do NOT think I am important. If I die tomorrow people will still be alive and will still make babies. But that does not mean I cant speak out.
Your attempt at brinkmanship to silence, or modify my behavior , by trying to embarrass me or shame me wont work.
I find it offensive when someone is more concerned with language and the "magic" of words than the actual physical violence done by humans on other humans. It is not bullying to call something bullshit. It is not zealotry to say books of myth are not science. It is not tyranny to say "you treat your women like shit".
There ARE plenty of people when merely offended will act out in violence, I am not one of them.

all the time on this board . Who are you responding to, the voices in your head ?
Good stuff. The link is at the bottom of his posts. 
We Are, By Brian37
We are your family
We are your co workers
We are your neighbor
We are your fellow citizens
We are pro questioning
We are pro science
We are diverse individuals
In class and economics
We are anti violence
We are anti bigotry
We are absolutely for
Human rights, even when we blaspheme
We have no horns
Or magic powers
You wont burst into flames
If you shake hands with one of us
But when you ask
Why we get angry
When you ask
Why we get "uppity"
Ayaan can tell you
Malala as well
Credulity in mass
Leads to atrocities
When you attack science
And say it is wrong
We call you rightfully hypocrites
When you use it without knowing
When my sister
Who merely said
"I don't believe"
And left it at that
Even without
Being like me
"In your face"
As some would claim
She still faced scorn
She didn't deserve
And PC atheists
Want me to be polite?
The word alone
All by itself
"Atheist" is seen as evil
Without us raising a fuss
We are your neighbors
We are your friends
When you stop viewing us as evil
THEN I can shut up
But that won't happen
In a deluded world
I don't want your silence
So don't demand my submission
"That is not true
That I would not do"
Hicthens on Abraham
And God asking him
"Murder your son
Prove your loyalty"
Hitchens would say
"No, fuck you!"
Attacking claims
Is not physical assault
Using the word "bullshit"
Is not militant
We are your neighbors
We are your friends
We are your co workers
We are your family you don't want us to exist
What if someone
Said to you
The Yankees won the Superbowl
What would you do?
Would you think
They were sane
Would you not want
To correct their mistake?
The pc atheist
Would think the same
Call it bullshit
If only in their head
But both of us, and most of us
Are not millitant
We don't blow things up
Or shoot doctors
We are your faimly
We are your friends
We won't disown you
Over one issue
If you were bleeding
In the street
As a believer
In need of help
The atheist would not
If they are sane
Say "let them die"
Because they think your claims are crap
We also would not
Disown our kids
If they decided
They do believe
At best the parent
Might roll their eyes
Call the claims crap
But still love them no less
The magic of words
Is patiently stupid
The believer thinks the same
Of our position
"Love the sinner
Not the sin"
They blast us too
In hopes to save us
The secular version
Could go like thus
"Love the claimant
Not the claim"
We are your family
The entire earth is
One species
On one planet
If the worst
Our species concern
Was blasphemy
Or a cuss word
Imagine the reduction
In worldwide violence
If more people
Could make it to bed
A harsh word
Is far better than death
I think what is better
In the face of this
We are your family
We are your friends
We are your co workers
We do exist

"He's Coming Soon" By Brian37
Amidst pots and pans
And smells of grease
I could not help but overhear
This common refrain
Joy in their voices
Horrified at their logic
They have no clue
What it would really mean
A neat little pagage
They think they have
Where all is pretty
Nothing sad
Their ice cream man
Will drive the truck
Through the neighborhood
Picking them up
Yet out of sight
He runs over
Will eternally torture
Those who don't buy his product
And the population
Of this planet
Their logic requires
The rest to be trash
These ice cream men
Compete for territory
Market poison
For self glory
I would thank all
To remember
Those outside you
Live here too
I would not
Belong to a club
That threatens hell
If you don't join
He is an asshole
To demand my submission
Who gave me a brain
Condemns me for thinking

Skittles Are LAXatives, By Brian37
Guns guns
We need more guns
If you object
You are a tyrant
And in Tinsel Town
Another took place
But if the sane
Object to the NRA
We are the bad guys
For wanting safe streets
For wanting safe theaters
For wanting safe schools
This is not a movie
You are not John Wayne
You are not Dirty Harry
For defending the industry
This is not
And never was
About your rights
And is merely about corporate profits
If 300 million
Guns in circulation
Is not enough
You are FUCKED IN THE HEAD.

Guns in every home
Guns in every school
Guns on every playgound
Guns rule.
A gun is not a penis
A gun is just a tool
If you can't tell the difference
Then you're a fucking fool.
Bullets are my friends
They never let me down
Shiny copper jackets
For the bad side of town
My gun is in my pocket
Always watching over me
Making sure I get home safely
And remember proper shot placement
is always the key
Double tap, double tap
Please leave me alone
Or else I'll double tap you
And drill you to the bone
Guns, guns and more guns
Is there ever enough ?
Brian rants and raves
And spouts the same old stuff
He's just a left wing nut job
Sensitive and pure
He always has the answer
He always has the cure
He worries about theists
They're behind every tree
Lurking here and there
Please Brian set us free !
He thinks guns are weenies
And that is why they're long
But why would I do that
When I already have a dong ?
Brian is whiner
He likes to moan and cry
He's just a drama queen
And I really don't know why
He wants to fight the Christians
And put them in their place
But his psychotic break
Is just a fucking disgrace
He never shuts his mouth
He's on a mission don't you know
No matter where he shows up
It's always Brian's show.
" Nyaaaah, I'm not crazy ...YOU are !
Read my poetry you fucking Christian !!!"
Response To My Detractors, By Brian37
A gun is a tool
But it is treated like candy
Too many people with a fetish
Who think they're fine and dandy
Call me all you want
A flaming drama queen
In the next 24 hours
34 more will leave the scene
Do not argue with me
Tell it to survivers
Tell it to their family members
Who have to bury them
Goddamn fucking right
I am going to scream
I am tired of hearing about gun death
On my tv screen
And as far as "Christians"
You know as well as I
Atheists go after all religions
Based on myths and lies
Sunnis killing Shiites
Both oppressing women
Christians in North Carolina
Banning gay marriage
Rape far too rampant
In that of India
LDS girls and women
Living in Island prisons
I find it very sick
You'd be more concerned
Of my offending others
Than the physical harm they do
Thank you for the attention
You think I should not have
It has the opposite affect
Then that of your intent

Brian is all butthurt if it's death by gun
But when people die from other means
He's completely mum
Drown in a pool
That's okay
You're gonna die anyway
Brian is a zealot
He gives atheism a bad name
The most extreme of extremists
He only brings us shame
Your the one that posted my picture, just like anti abortion nuts post names faces and places of abortion providers. Not that I am scared. Too much of a coward to beat me up yourself? So you post my picture to "wink" at others as if to imply "hey PC atheists or theists if you see this guy, WINK WINK, you know what to do", so since you didn't actually do it yourself you can absolve yourself from any responsibility if anything happens to me.
Is that what you want? You won't get a physical fight out of me, and if you did assault me you'd be the one going to jail, not me. That is what zealots do, get physical when they get offended.
Now you are going about this the wrong way. If we want theists to see us as individuals, then using "you make me look bad" is a stupid tactic. If you want to make a better argument, rather than lumping me up with all atheists, just simply call me the asshole you think I am.
And yes, I am an asshole to people who force women to wear burkas and wont let them drive. I am an asshole to dicks who shoot girls who merely want an education. I am an asshole to people who use voting based on religion to deny gays equal rights. I am an asshole to people who want to use laws based on religion to control the bodies of women.
You want to judge me for my cussing and blasphemy, when that is all I do compared to people who get physical when they don't like what they hear. Kinda like you posting my picture in hopes someone will "take action".
Merely being offensive does not make me a zealot or even a bigot.
And making fun of ABBA? You think that really hurts my feelings?
Now just simply say "fuck you Brian I don't like you, you are an asshole". The difference is when other people offend me I simply make a choice. I either bitch back, or ignore them.
And again, you are also bringing me attention you say I don't deserve. Not so smart considering that you know I will respond which bumps up the post again.

Other types of death
Bother me as well
Like when people make god claims
And threaten you with hell
Taking food stamps
Away from those in need
Causing the young and elderly
To chose between bills or feed
Dying kids in Africa
While some stupid jock
Kneels and points to god
You bitch about "Suck it Jesus"
It's ok for Kathy
Because she is funny and rich
To point out the fucked up priorities
Of those well off and famous
I think your priorities
Are way out of whack
You are more concerned with blasphemy
Than the violence that does exist.
Don't you lecture me
About what I should not say
Religion needs offending
To keep it in its place
If you think there is no harm
Done by the religious
You are out of you head
If you think we should never question it.
If thus you think
Then by all means
Walk the streets of Saudi Arabia
Without even cussing
Tell their population
Allah is not real
That is all you have to do
To end up dead or in jail
And even here
In the states
We have gullible morons
Who attack science with glee
You paint me as the bad guy
You are the fool
Progress was never made
When taboos are the norm
