Thank you all so much for reviewing. Sorry it took me so long to reply. Life has just been unbelievable for about the last 8 months. Enjoy the newest round of replies.
Yet another poem. Hope you guys like this one as much as you like the other one.
As I watch a storm rage outside
I watch with wondering terror
At the fury the wind releases.
Nothing can stand where it goes
Nothing can resist its mighty force.
Then I see the gentle rain drops
Made hard by fear of Wind’s screams.
Huddled together, they let themselves
Fall prey the wind’s viscous attack
Watching this eternal play
Of strong making weak sway
I find myself examining life
And wondering which I may be
Whether wind or raindrop
Is the truth of me.
Thank you for both of your reviews. That’s a valid point, that we might have been created so that he could understand the differences. That’s not something I ever considered.
And yes, he definitely should have reconsidered the creation of our throats because there’s very little that sucks more than swallowing food or water down the wrong tube.
Sounds like you’re just a spiritual person to me. Glad the poem made you think, that’s really the only reason I wrote it, I just wanted people to think.
Glad you liked the poem. I wish I could respond to all the reviews of all my stories, but sadly I must work and sleep, lol.
Glad you liked the poem. Thank you so much for putting me on your favorites list.
The science lesson was quite informative, I’m sure. I was happy to realize that I already knew that. Clearly science isn’t the total dismal waste I thought it was.
Thank you for politely disagreeing instead of offering to sell my still-beating heart to Chinese medical experiments. And also, thank you for complimenting my writing style.
The light wouldn’t be worth anything if we didn’t have darkness to look at. I’m glad you liked the poem.
This was very interesting. I’m glad I gave you an answer to something. To tell you the truth, I never really thought about why the devil was created.
So, I believe that most of the time, the things we think are so incomprehensible are really very simple. God is really a very simple being. Would he still exist if no one believed in him? If humans simply turned away from him and pretended that we’d never brought the idea of him to life, would he still “exist” in the most simple terms of the word?
I think God, like everything else, is very simple. If no one believes in him, then he’d disappear, but the positive/negative balance would remain because without God, we wouldn’t need the Devil, right?
Anyway, maybe that was just something confusing that only made sense to me, but that’s what I think. God is very simple if you take away the lies and stories people tell about him.
I thought they were some pretty good points. Glad you liked the poem. I don’t believe that anything is perfect, not even a supreme being. Thanks for your encouragement, I’ll definitely keep thinking and writing, I couldn’t stop even if I wanted to.
I’m very glad the poem made you think and that you can see things from my point of view. I hope this encouraged you to look a little deeper into your faith, because I sure don’t want anyone to turn away from what they believe by reading this.
I pride myself about keeping (hopefully) from totally bagging on other religions and faiths. I get enough of that shit from other people and I sure don’t wish it on anyone. I’m glad that you disagree with the other reviewers actually, it’s nice to see someone who can have an open mind and figure things out for themselves.
I realize that it was a very chauvinist society when the Bible was written and my only complaint with that is how people today use those fascist sentiments to justify keeping women subjugated.
And don’t worry about bugging me with big reviews, I love them. Make your reviews as long as you want.
Yes, that little poem was pretty sweet wasn’t it?
Wow. I didn’t realize how much of an impact this would make, but trust me it’s great to hear how much it meant to you. Thank you for the great review.
I wish the whole world would read this and my other poem “I Believe.” I want the world to be a different place where people can just see beyond the Matrix-like programming our society offers.
Yes, religion is completely back-ass-wards and nuts, but faith is a good thing to have. gives evil chuckle I rather liked the murder one as well.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m happy so many people thought it was a good, or at least interesting, point.
Glad you found it interesting. It’s nice to see that people can believe in God without forcing him to be perfect.
I’m glad you thought it was the perfect question. (Gee, if I’d come up with this earlier, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy would have gone a completely different way.) I decided when I wrote the poem that I would respond to everybody. I’m sure that some people were a little shocked at my audacity and I wanted the chance to explain why I felt that way, not to justify it, but to educate them. I thought it would be a good thing to do because of the concept of the work.
People seemed to really dig the little poem. Must have been better than I thought, lol.
Kiss my ass brother. No only kidding. Of course that never changes. I’ve been like this since I was a baby and it ain’t gonna change just cause you joined the Marines.
Well, first off, congratulations on giving me the longest review I’ve ever gotten on fictionpress. Thank you for all of the in-depth thought you put into this review. Unfortunately, I still must disagree because you’re taking all of it from the Bible and, as I’ve mentioned before, I don’t think the Bible contains any more truth than Harry Potter books.
What I meant about balance is that the entire universe is based on one simple idea, the everything has a positive and negative side. For every good thing, there is a bad thing to keep it in check. Like when someone dies as a baby is being born. One life taken, one life given. Or when you were talking about how God supposedly lets nations fall while building them up.
You weren’t really proved wrong if people just threw the Bible and its empty words at you. Maybe you just didn’t care enough to keep going forward.
I’m sorry about what your mother does to you, I’m glad that you have your faith in God to fall back on.
And I just know this is going to come out like a holier-than-thou thing, but just how can you prove that God creates miracles? Just out of curiosity.
Thanks again for the review. I hope your life gets better.
I’m glad you agree with it. All of your ego strokes were very well deserved. Thank you for reading this.
