Wow. Is my poem THAaaaaT bad?? O.O

I realize to a select few it could be offensive.

But it has quality, at least? I mean, don't ya think?

I like the peom.... it's not too offensive.

I was a Christian with the faith of a tiny cute little mustard seed and found atheists highly offensive but now I'm a fence-sitting, numb bum thumb twiddling agnostic and it feels great to be free from the pressure of wanting to have faith but being unable to find it!

However, young lady, I am quite envious of people who DO have faith that gives them an inner strength and joy and positive outlook on life.... not all religion is about power over other people or only doing good to possibly saving one's own sorry ass from eternal damnation - my last wife was an American bible belt Christian who is 100% certain that I am condemned to Hell, but she still prays for me which I fond both irritating and somewhat 'cute' in a perverse hypocritical kinda way!

Good luck - and keep writing poetry.. a great way to try and express your feelings on paper - and if you say 'pretty please' I might write a poem dedicated to you called 'The cutest atheist is town.....'

Ha!

Piddlesticks!

Allah be praised!

God save our souls!

Jehovah - sort it will you, old boy!

Nature is the only Goddess I know, Mother Nature

The church is an institution of control and indoctrination

hats off to U

I am a christian, and my faith gives me power, yes but good poetry is good poetry.I respect your views.

Thanks for all the nice comments!!! :D

And if you wanna write about me, go right ahead!! XD

I don't care if you insult me, make fun of me or even compliment me. XD

It's for fun. And you have my permission. n___n

I can understand some of where your poem generates its ill will towards the church and christians, where there are humans there will always be imperfection, from your words I can plainly see you hurt and hate and lash out. Is your pain generated by a past abuse? no one can have such anger without reason? your poem is life without hope, darkness without light. I do not pretend to be perfect Athiests9086 I'm far removed from perfect, however I have had light in some of my darkest hours, I have recieved hope when I thought times were hopeless , I have seen troubled times losing many loved ones in a short span of time. Without god and my faith I would never have survived the losses, there are many instances I am aware of his works in my life. I must give you this athiests9086 your poem has passion and given the right subjects you could be a very good poet , but hate is an empty subject that leads to no where.

I have survived where other couldn't. I've been through living hell. I've lost, lied, deceived, hurt screamed cut and have done many things because of it.


But no. My dislike for religion is not out of bitterness towards it. Its true that I greatly dislike the Christian religions, more so than any of the others. But as much as I've been hurt. I'm grateful for it.

All of the hate and judgement Christians showed me allowed me to seperate further from them. It allowed to to sit back and out think the trivial beliefs that they hold.

If someone needs religion to survive they are weak. Because true strength comes from out thinking your problems and fixing them.

Not from praying to an invisible deity to take it away.

This poem was not generated from hate. But realization that my logic beats your faith. And that is my opinion. Think of it what you will. But I will not tolerate being talked to like I know nothing of faith or your god. When I know more than most christians do. That is a promise.

I am truely sorry you have been hurt, a true christian would never want to hurt you as my post was not meant to hurt you, it was truely a step back observation of your own words. The words you used in your poem stand as they are, they certainly have no love, hate can only burn you up. If you have no belief in god you deny your own exsistance and everything living, as I told you without my faith I would never have survived. You sound like you have been through some terrible times and it does sound like some people of faith have left you with a bitter taste but please don't judge us by a few. If you hurt because of the past you should seek to resolve those issues so you can come to terms with them, strong as you believe you are the poem shows your hurting and I hope you will seek to resolve those issues and I wish you nothing but the very best.

Well done. I loved this poem and the way you've worded your own views. You have a real talent for writing. Although controversial you come across as a woman with your own beliefs. 10/10
