You are not wrong, simply misinformed,
and the danger to your soul comes
not with this
fallacy you have created,
but in your heart.
I have no stones to throw
I have enough faults of my own,
Should I put on a collar and touch boys,
or tie a tie in a double Windsor, preach about Armageddon, then go buy whores?
Just to prove you right?
(You already think me odd
for praying to Jehovah,
Even though He cannot be seen.)
Or do I simply....
Listen
For once listen, hear out your point of view and not argue
I am sick of arguing and defining Christianity
when I should be demonstrating it.
You are not wrong, just
misinformed
Author notes
I realize it may be hard to get in good with this contest, and I care little. I want to simply to be heard, not mocked, not patronized, not judged.
I chose option 1.
The majority of these poems are biased, too. But on different polar ends.
I have no cornholing punchlines, no sarcasm, no cynisism, just truth.
I have nothing to prove. I just have truth.

A strong write in my view (including your writer's comments as well). In a way we are all misinformed, which would explain the abundance of discussions, fights and wars we are engaged in. Even in love we at times enter from misinformation. It is a real paradise for those who maintain hell. Thank you for creating and sharing. Good luck in the contest. Take care,

This is well... um ..... reminds me of a catholic priest-- just kidding! I am just playing! I t is a really truthful piece!

no no no no no, it wouldnt have been hard to "get in" on this contest at all, I wanted good poems from each point of view and the best ones win, simple as.
for this reason alone I am finding it difficult to judge because most of the good ones are I'm afraid, option 3.
I desperatley wanted the God squad to use God given talent to blow me away with, to write me a poem that wins, but so far all I have had (on the whole) is drivel, which was pretty much what I had as comments on my version of The Bible.
And it may be what you think is the truth, that doesnt mean it aint bullshit.
My best friend was a Jehovahs witness. He killed himself, he was carried in backwards to be cremated I am told because his own God loving, fearing "family" were ashamed of him.
Nice.
Good luck and thanks for entering. -
well written piece, really sums up your views and the impressive principles you hold onto. Well done and clearly God has already blessed you so i hope for his continued blessing!!
