This is so off thread about God or atheism.
Discussion over.
That’s OK. I am about as much an atheist as Dawkins - and as for poetry, I am not only enjoying it but am even translating it on occasion, [sometimes not too badly, and more frequently worse]. Thus poetry and its enjoyment are wide open to atheists like me, giving a lie to your statement “live without {belief in] god is... no poetry”. There is a lot of poetry in my life - and I do not believe in god.
