一篇無神論的詩章 -- Atheism Is by Richard Coughlan

無意中在 YouTube 找到這位Richard Coughlan 的詩章 -- 我翻譯為"無神論沒有任何東西給你"

原文
Atheism offers nothing to me,
it never has and never will,
it doesn't make me feel good or comfort me,
it's not there for me when I'm sick or ill,
it won't intervene in my times of need or protect me from hate or lies
it doesn't care if I fail or succeed,
it won't wipe the tears from my eyes,
it does nothing when I have no where to run,
it won't give me wise words or advice,
it has no teaches for me to learn,
it can't show me what's bad or nice,
it's never inspired or incited anyone,
it won't help me fulfill all my goals,
it won't tell me to stop when I'm having fun,
it's never saved one single soul,
it doesn't take credit for everything I achieve,
it won't make me get down on bended knee,
it doesn't demand that I have to believe,
it won't torture me for eternity,
it won't teach me to hate or despise others,
it won't tell me what's right or wrong,
it can't tell nobody not to be lovers,
it's told no one they don't belong,
it won't make you think life is worth living,
it has nothing to offer me, that's true,
but the reason Atheism offers me nothing is because I've never asked it to,
Atheism offers nothing because it doesn't need to,
Religion promises everything because you want it to,
You don't need a Religion or to have faith,
You just want it because you need to feel safe,
I want to feel reality and nothing more,
Atheism offers me everything,
but Religion has stolen before.

我自己的意譯

無神論什麼都沒有給我過去沒有﹐
將來﹑永遠也不會有任何東西給我得到
無神論不會令我感到喜樂﹐ 或者感到安慰
我有病患﹐ 痛苦﹐ 它不與我同在
我有任何需要的時候﹐ 它不會介入保護我﹐ 也不保護我不給恨我的人傷害我﹐ 或者保護我不被欺騙
我有成就﹐ 它毫不在乎﹐ 我失敗它也沒有任何感覺
我就算痛苦﹐ 無神論不會來安慰我﹐ 抹乾我的眼淚
我去到走投無路﹑到了絕境﹐ 它不會打救我
它沒有任何特別的智慧教訓﹑箴言給我
它不會告訴你什麼是美醜對錯
也不會令任何人感到有任何的靈感﹑昇華﹐ 或者煽動了什麼人
它沒有保守我實現我的目標
它不會要我享樂的時候要我自制
它從來不會拯救任何一個靈魂
但我獲得的成就無神論不會居功﹑要我們“歸榮耀”給它
它也不強迫我屈膝﹑跪拜它
它也不需要我去相信它
也不會把我推入永刑裡面﹐ 痛苦到永遠
它不會教導我去藐視或者憎恨什麼人
它拒絕強制我要跟隨它要求的對錯標準
它不阻止任何人真心相愛
它從來沒有對任何人說﹕ 你不屬于我們
它不會令你的生命活得更加有意義
對的。無神論真的沒有什麼可以給我。
無神論所以沒有什麼可以給我﹐因為我們從來沒有要求它給什麼﹗
無神論不給人什麼﹐ 因為它沒有必要給人類什麼。
宗教說它可以給你一切 (道德對錯判斷﹑有意義的人士﹑智慧﹑在絕境搭救等等等) - 係因為信宗教的人希望宗教給這些東西他們
其實﹐ 宗教徒他們不是需要宗教﹑不是需要信仰﹐ 而是需要安全感
我﹐ 只需要感覺真實 (按﹕ 活在當下﹐ 感受生命)﹐ 就此而已
而無神論給我需要的真實
而宗教就把真實偷去。
