TheDamned6 2007-04-09 ch 1,	abuseIt's a very powerful point of view. You obviously have a huge distaste for 'God'. I really liked the imagery you conjured up, and I loved the opening lines about adam and eve (I personally think it's a big flaw in the Bible), but some parts just didn't seem to gel, like the line 'Just like his dead creatures//Who are now dead'. It doesn't sound good. But otherwise you are a great writer, who has strong views and isn't afraid to show them, and I respect that. Well Done.
elliegator 2006-08-14 ch 1,	abuseMy, God. lol. Um, I don't know if I believe in God. If I believed in god i would say: You will not go to heaven cause wrote about God like this, you questioned His love you mortal idiot, how dare you question God like that...blah blah blah. If I didn't believe in God I would say: well, I don't believe in God so.. but,... I agree with you somewhat cause... So I say both. Oh well. Now Ima confusing myself...
TheOneYouFear16 2005-07-20 ch 1,	abuseWow, Really... Deep. Your opinion is your opinion... I happen to love God... I really enjoy reading your work!
thestonedfox 2005-07-17 ch 1,	abuseAs a Catholic, I would feel obliged to rag on and on and on about how you are ignorant and foolish to write such a piece and to want to kill the God that created us and for just being Atheist, but I would rather not. Why? Mainly because I know that we are all human and humans are given free will by God. It is what separates us from animals. I will not tell you that everything you say is wrong and that if you just embraced God, yada yada yada. But I do think that it is either you are extremely good at looking through another's eyes or you are truly angry at the Lord. If the latter is where you fall under, than I do hope you find some way to reconnect with Him. I know that my preaching to you will do you no good at all in that case, but God will find a way to bring you back into His circle. He will never stop looking for His lost lamb. There were a few things about the poem that bothered me. Allusions to the book of Genesis are plentiful, but what I think you fail to realize is that Genesis is an entirely mythical piece of work, meant to symbolize the relationship between God and humanity. Adam and Eve are, obvioulsy, us. The garden, "paradise," is our ideal world, the world God has meant for us. But there is always a snake, temptation at its finest, making its way into our minds and hearts trying to convince us that God alone is not enough. And so we disobey, and we are kicked out. This symoblizes, like the great flood, the consequences for sin and evil. But in all these stories, Adam & Eve, Cain & Abel, Noah and the Ark, man lives on. "You may one day be My children again." There is hope. I take it that maybe you've lost hope in God. That you are trying to make your way without him. But, if only for you to know, everything- riches, fame, power, glory- everything will feel empty without God. We don't need the apple. It is there to tempt us, for God to know who is worthy of His Heavenly Kingdom. God alone is enough. And I cannot emphasize that more. You are angry at God. But finding solace in anything but God will not do you any good. I advise you, make peace with Him. Join the circle. Enter the bright light. Your poem was very well-written. A true masterpiece. You are obviously a very talented writer. Good luck with that, and everything else.
Tears Of The Black Dragones... 2005-06-23 ch 1,	abuseWow...way powerful. this is absouletly stunning...i mean...wow... great, (even if you rushed) peice. i like this very interesting ponderings...WRITE ON!(=
Blindfireak40 2005-06-11 ch 1,	abuseHm...interesting...the review I feel compelled to give you is the exact reason I typically shy away from these pieces, but no, I think I will review anyway. Firstly, there seems to be a profoundly hugely enourmous amount of Atheism here. This may seem obvious, but I am just confirming that it is, in fact, Atheism, not Satanism or Agnosticism. In direct response to a particular line, line 1 of verse 5, Irreverent radical zeal does not make something possible. Also, as a work...I think the number of times that "God" was killed is a bit...detracting from the work as a whole. And finally, as a Christian, I must say I find this work mildly offensive, though thought-provoking. Interesting read. Good work.
Masavi 2005-05-28 ch 1,	abuseWhatever reason why you feel this way about God, and that you have to "kill" him - honestly, you can't kill God. You're nothing in proportion to him in all aspects, but isn't it a wonder how he still loves you? Isn't it a wonder how he still loves the devil? Do you want to know why? It's because God has a plan. He's going to save us all again during the Final Judgement - just like he did when Christ came to earth as a human. Ah well... I'm starting to feel as if I'm my teacher, Sr. Denise. Heh... that's crazy. Anyway, I hope you really do develop another point of view. God wants to save you from the eternal flames of Hell, and to be saved all you've got to do is to believe in Him and do what He asks. But I'm not going to judge you anymore, even if I really am mad at you because you have no right to say those things.
W3DNESDAY 2005-05-28 ch 1,	abusethis was fascinating. interesting point of view. thanks for sharing
Lupe Lamia 2005-04-05 ch 1,	abuseThe more and more I read this the more and more I enjoy it. It brings a certain darkness upon itself, a twisting of faith and judgement and all that is holy. There is something here that is so appealing to me. It could just be the fact that I enjoy hearing about murder, or it could be something more. Such pleasant thoughts, we have.
Samuel T. Findlay 2005-02-26 ch 1,	abuseA brilliant piece of writing. Far more enjoyable to read than a dry, logical argument explaining the lunacy that is religion. I applaud you for your efforts here. Keep on going! Expose and destroy the oppressive myth.
shinco 2005-02-23 ch 1,	abuseOk, I have to say, I'm extremely angry right now, but I know that God isn't. I have to be honest, that made me really mad, but it's ok. I still love you and so does God. You see, I can tell that something happened to you a long time ago and you're still angry about it. Well, in my case, I've had something happen to me that I'm still a little angry about, but it happened when I was 7 and I'm almost 16 now, so it's been 8 years. I'm pretty much ok with it now. God is making me a stronger person and I'm getting through it because I've prayed WHOLE-HEARTEDLY about it. Not saying you didn't, but I think you were missing something. Something vital that only God could give you. But you have to accept it. And you have to find out what that somethiong is on your own. But the meek SHALL inherit the earth, YOU are wrong (I'm sorry, but it's true.). Meek simply means "power under control", it does not mean weak. I am meek and I shall inherit the earth. So shall a lot of other people. And you cannot kill God, logical. He created you and he can destroy you all the same, which he does not wish to ever do! ^_^ He loves you very much and I know that if you pray to him, you will get an answer. God was not fabricated by man. He was not created at all. Yeah, it breaks all the rules of science, he had no beginning, but he created time and beginnings and he didn't have to have a beginning to be here. He created all the rules (I should say laws) of science. I can tell that you're very confused about God and why exactly he exists. This I can understand. I'll be praying for you, I know it will not fail because I have the ultimate faith in my God, which is not just a hollow way of getting hope. Yahweh will always answer your prayers either with yes, no, or wait. It might be wait, but he knows the best time to answer them. He's way beyond us, not we're way beyond him. Please don't take any of this as offense either, I'm not trying to be mean or forceful. I'm a conservative Republican and you're a liberal Democrat. We're on opposite sides of the spectrum, but God works with everyone, no matter who you are or how much you dreadfully hate him. He's never forsaken you, logical. He's there with you right now, he's with everyone. Whatever happened to you in the past that made you turn from God, don't let it turn your entire life around the wrong, twisted way. Your poems have a lot of bitterness in them, and I know from personal experience that bitterness only leads your soul to destruction, and yes we have souls. ^_~ Anyway, your poem was very in teresting, and I hope you fare well with your life.
Nightmare Alley 2005-02-19 ch 1,	abuseInteresting. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you got a million flames for this. :)
AntiPleasure 2005-01-30 ch 1,	abuseIt makes me wonder (and I've probably said this before) if you really do believe in the thought and aspect of having an existing God. Stop trying to prove if there is NO GOD and believe in what you feel is right. There, I'm done. Jenna xoxo
bloodtide 2005-01-27 ch 1,	abuseOne thing really, you accused me of giving rational athiests a bad name, and said i should burn, just because you read a non serious peice of fiction, yet i read this, and you also just sound like your ranting some angsty crap. Maybe im just saying this because what you reviewed me with was kinda depressing in the way that you seemed so ignornant, when quite clearly you are not. Quite a lot of people find that the greatest obstacle holding them back is themselves, so maybe you should stop being more ignorant. Yes, i do consider myself an athiest, but only because i have carefully studied and thought about religion and my own personal faith for most of my life, and my belief and understand of life is the only thing that gives me real balance as i wake up every morning and have to go about doing what i do every day. Ofcourse everyone is entitled to their own free speech, therefore i wish you would respect me as a person, instead of just jumping to conclusions about me from one non-serious peice of writing, because it just makes me sad. sad. sad.
TearsOfTurquoiseAngels 2005-01-18 ch 1,	abuseBlasphemy much? I like this, but it must be quite offensive to religious people.
