Called By the Lord

by Teofilo Contreras

I felt the calling.

I was called by the lord our god to be an agnostic.

I have faith, that in his infinite wisdom, my lack of belief is a perfectly planned piece of his universal plan.

I will not allow the unfaithful to undermine my agnosticism, god has made me skeptic and I dare not doubt that.

I thank the lord for, in his infinite wisdom, he allows me to assert with absolute certitude that there is only doubt.

I feel the power of god and I acknowledge his message: “There is no way of knowing me, I am a mystery.” The lord works in mysterious ways.

In sum, I thank the lord for making me an agnostic…

…otherwise, I would need to thank him for everything else.
