Atheist Prayer
Our brains, which art in our heads, treasured be thy name.
Thy reasoning come.
Thy best you can do be done on earth as it is.
Give us this day new insight to help us resolve conflicts and ease pain.
Lead us not into supernatural explanations; deliver us from denial of logic.

A Speculative List Of Jay-Z’s 99 Problems
Awkward street cred issues re: recent events with “the 99%.”
Discomfort with monogamy and upcoming fatherhood, esp. w/in the context of being a very powerful individual (i.e. sex from whoever he desires widely available yet unattainable due to moral obligation).

On a base level, they allowed her to use her feet to move from once place to another, without subjecting herself to dirt, sharp objects or unforgiving pavement. They also allowed her to be presentable at formal functions and in public settings, where it would otherwise be considered...
