That was a good poem.. I'm an atheist too, but I have to admit that it was sort of one-sided...

HAHAHA! That's excellent!

Whoa, that was awesome. It seems so strange to me that anyone could have such a problem seeing the truth of a greater being, but obvoiusly I'm just too simple ;D Well written.

heh. i've had that concersation many-a-time. I was on the athiest side as well. They just don't listen to reaon do they? Gotta love 'em though, so full of faith.

Hm...I find it a bit too simplified in the characters of theist and atheist. Still, I like the idea.

About science..although science is fantastic in that it is the closest thing we humans have to truth, science is limited by the limitations of humans. For example, scientific theory really took off after the discovery of the light microscope because we were able to look at the world in a new way. But if microscopes were never invented, we humans wouldn't be able to know that all living things are made up of cells. In the same way, humans may not be able to detect "spiritual" entities that may confirm God's existance because we are limited to the senses of hearing, seeing, touching, etc, etc. What I said probably made no sense and clarifying it is too much effort. I will conclude by saying that on the theist-atheist spectrum I am a moderate atheist (perhaps the term is "agnostic" althrough that is probably more in the middle of this religious spectrum).
Anyway, where in Australia do you live and how old are you?

i love this poem soo much! i have had and heard these conversations many times myself! that is awesome..you hit all the points! i also wanted to say something about grief seqence poem when i acidently hit the wrong button before i could finish, my best friend committed suicide so i can relate all too well and i am sorrie! it was very touching to me... i really like your style =)

Wow ... this is quite the poem! I envy your talent! This was just breathtaking! 0_0 It is very deep and gives a lesson in a way that's very original .. good work ... keep it up ... and thank you for reviewing "Innocence" ^_^

Faith is the most difficult thing to have. To live everyday and know that God cares for you. Can we even respect those who claim there Christianity? They argue those same lines over and over. If you wish to be a Christian you read and listen and obey. If you choose to be an athiest you find out all you can about God and The Bible and back up your arguements and veiws you have, for the reason you are one. I, for one, have faith. I cant excape God. I cant turn my back on him even though i have tried. That is who i am. Certain poems reflect my stuggle, and i am glad that you liked my poem " Lost to Sin ". You have every right to say what you think and to get aggrivated by Christians and there constant " nagging ". I sure as hell do. I wont call myself a Christian, believing in God isnt enough to clam it. So, i guess what i'm really saying is... you wrote a good poem, and i'm glad i read it. It showed emotion and expression.

I like this. You seem to be very openminded to be able to see both points of view, although the theist is sort of a 'fluffybunny' (my word for someone who loves everyone. Even so, it's good!

Hey! Thanks for reviewing my stuff, so Im returning the favor. First of all I'd like to express my love of Australians, you rock! Oh and your bio is pretty nifty, I love rock music aswell! :)
Second of all I found this poem rather humorous. I remember having a similar discussion with a christian girl in my school, and although the conversation was no where vicious it did remind me of a cycle.
This line is pretty funny "I don’t carry Panadol; I have God’s love, that’s all I need"
Ive written a similar poem about 'god' if ya care to check it out its called "No Time to Think"
I liked the style of your poem though. Nice job.

I really enjoyed the format and word design of this poem. Even though I dont believe in god , it certainly makes you think. I'm sending you that poem in poetry format in your e-mail. feel free to tell me which format you like better. Also just for ** and giggles check out " Whipping boy ".

*I’M being too simplistic? Look in the mirror*
Loved that line. I'll remember to use it next time. And I've used that kind of lines myself... Good work. I think it gives a very realistic image of the two different points of view.

That was amazing and original - I loved it
