I choose not to believe in that which I cannot see That in which cannot be proven or touched Many say faith is all I need and I reply back Has faith ever needed you God has not talked to me on the phone Nor has he visited me in a dream I wish the bible would be classified as a fiction novel Do know that everything I have just said I do not believe but do know any faith inside of me has died a long time ago

I like the idea of wanting to disbelieve but being unable to. Not sure about the 'do know' construction, though. Otherwise, very nice. God has not talked to me in the phone, but nor has the Pope, and I think he's real. I suggest you go to church on Sunday and see if anything happens in your soul.

I think I would lose the last couplet and the word 'fiction' and then this would stand as a perfect statement.
