MikaelaBanes 2007-05-12 ch 1,	Wow I love your poem! And now to answer your question: Yeah! I'll be coming with you! =P Wouldn't it be great to be celebrating with God up there with new, glorified bodies, while the rest of em sinners are going to be you-know-where with you-know-who? Anyway, I loved the poem! Great job and God Bless You. -- Your Sister In Christ
Natasha5 2006-05-08 ch 1,	Though this is not my religion, on a re-read I would like to point out that it's actually kind of offensive. The way you portray Christianity as some sort of show-thing.. A rock star.. A concert.. It all feels so fake.
Ashelin 2006-04-05 ch 1,	Ill be there, AMEN to that!
Natasha5 2006-02-11 ch 1,	Hmm. I like the idea of the faith in this poem. But you've got a lot to learn, young one.
Naomi Schemer 2005-09-03 ch 1,	Awesome! I love the comparison of Jesus coming back to a conert! It shows your belief wonderfully. I love it. By the way, I'm also Agnostic (leaning towards Atheism), so it's very rare that I like a religios poem.
JackieTheWarriorPrincess 2005-08-21 ch 1,	Definitely count me in.
Carpetbag 2005-07-21 ch 1,	I'm not into God, so I was surprised to really enjoy this when I read it. You are a very talented woman.
.dear. Disaster 2005-06-24 ch 1,	AMENno shame in ur belief GO GOD
Olivia 2005-04-19 ch 1,	I am a proud Christian, and yet I always feel uneasy about people treating Jesus as if He were a rock star, a packaged comodity. I don't like the idea of Jesus being some plastic promotion... ah well. I guess it's good if the practice gets some people excited about religion, all I'm saying is it doesn't set well with me. The reason I bring this up is because you walk the fine line between fanaticism and satire in this poem. If you are serious, it's still a great poem, but if you were being satirical, doubly good job.
His Only 2005-04-17 ch 1,	OOHH! WOW! I loved this. It was so cute! Aww... you described it all so well. It made me happy to be a Christian. And yes I am commin with you too!! Haha. I especailly loved your last verse- although they were all very good. Excellent work with this! I aboslutley loved it. You really have a knack for wiriting poems. And also I want to thank you for reviewing my two poems. I'm glad you liked the one about Jesus and was able to get the message. And the other one... well yeah I was kinda upset when I wrote it. I have been told that as a Christian you don't have to love everyone, like bad people (Hitlar and Stallan and Judas from the bible and all those kind) but I don't know where to draw the line. I don't know if I can hate my dad. I most certainly don't love him and I never could. Thanks for your time. I really appreciated the reviews! May God Bless!
Cheyenne 2005-04-05 ch 1,	That's hot.
TrueToMyself 2005-03-22 ch 1,	raises hand I'm coming! This is a very creative idea, and I really like the way you fleshed it out into a full poem. Only comment: maybe you could add a "..." after "All I ask is" because as I read it I thought there was a typo, until I continued reading. Keep up the great work! P.S. Thanks a bunch for your review, it really meant a lot to me! ^_^
twenty-second seduction 2005-03-06 ch 1,	How dare you call me an idiot or a poseur.I wrote this poem after I was told by cutters and non-cutters how they felt about self-mutilation.That poem was a mix of truths and non-truths that were discussed in my health class.The teacher asked me to write a poem of how I feel about it,not what I had experienced with it.Everyday,poets are writing poems that are told from the voice of others.Everyday,poets write poems about what they know nothing about.An example is Emily Dickinson's 'I Never Saw a Moor'.She was a recluse who never left her home and yet she wrote poetry what she had not seen or felt because she can IMAGINE it. That was highly rude of you to call me a poseur,to consider my poetry complete and utterly mindless dribble,and to say that I have no right to write the poem.I do NOT think I look cool writing poetry about cutting to look cool.And how can you call me a poseur?If I never cut,how could I be writing about myself?I suggested that they read it because I wanted responses from cutters to see if they felt the way I had IMAGINED it.And you keep saying they as if you do not that yourself.So if you do not,I am not sure if you do,then why are you getting so angry that I wrote the poem?You say they cut because it makes them feel good,it makes them feel powerful,because it makes them feel in control,which brings me back to question whether you cut or not because if you do not,how would you know?Is it because someone told you just as someone told me?And then to assume that I think they don't believe in God.For goodness sake the majority of murderers,drug addicts,racists,and prostitutes believe in God,so why would I think that people who cut themselves would not?What I meant that by that line was what one girl said to me.She said to me that she did not feel that she could pray to God above because she did not feel that anyone,including Him could understand it.I wrote this poem based on my feelings,cutter's feelings,non-cutter's feelings,hoping to reach out to people who do the same,but probably feel different.I just don't think you should have reacted towards me like that.Why would you call someone an idiot because of a poem they wrote?I would not lie and say that I am upset.I just feel that you could have handled your responses better than that,especially since you do not know my me or my intentions.But because I believe in God,I forgive you and will forget what you did,but as the saying goes,I want forget how you made me feel.I felt pretty bad because I did not understand why anyone would have felt so negatively towards a poem.I chose not to judge you,since I do not know you,but explain myself,explain how I feel,and explain what I thought you were saying.I admit I could be wrong about how cutter's feel,but that does not mean I can't say what I think. If your teacher had asked you to write [A Girl Named Cutter] then you should have specified that in the beginning. I called you a poseur, because I suspected ( and I was right ) that you yourself had never experienced cutting/self-mutilation first hand. A poseur, means by definition, a person who pretends to be what he or she is not. If I do cut myself, then it is none of your business thank you very much. If I do cut, then it is really none of your concern. By the one line you wrote about not being able to pray to God, you (basically) made a generalization, and generalizations are not the best way to present an idea. I felt 'negatively' towards the 'poem' you wrote because it portrayed the image of cutters incorrectly. I apologize if I upset you ( and i seem to have done that ), it upset me to see the way you made cutters seem.
Proud to be an American 2005-02-22 ch 1,	Hey! Proud Catholic I'll come!! And I read the post underneath mine--I am tolerant of other religions, and I find them very fascinating. But I am a devote Catholic :) ~Toni~
You 2005-02-21 ch 1,	I like this piece, even though I do not share the same belief. Its clever and well written, keep it up. The only other thing I have to say is to the reviewer mistressKC. (Its not a flame but a question) You said "we're sure we're going to heaven cause we believe in Him. We expirience that same miseries that thet expirience (we just have the Lord to trust on). Pray for nonbelievers" So what I don't understand, (and would like to be able to), is if he really is there, like you say he is, then why wouldn't we (non believers) not go to Heavan just because we thought differently?? Wasn't Jesus' message to be tolerate of others? Does that not included accepting others beliefs? It seems like your saying we will punished for not believing. Maybe thats why "non-believers think that we feel we're 'holier-than-thou' "
