the dismissive non-critical mindsets here only serve to aver the brainwashing effects of religion. Heaven can only be heaven when there's an option to decline and come back.

To each its own. While your poem was well written, I thought that it was a bunch of nonsense. So all I can say to you is God Bless, and get a little faith, sweetie. Well all need it.

Nope Life without the "F" is a lie!!

Whatever!!

Each one for his own beliefs..and friends does not really care to share EVERYTHING anyways...!!

So I will say......k e e p the f a i t h okay!!

“Faith is in your head so leave it there
And please refrain from trying to share”

This is what is so wonderful about free will and free speech Sir. It allows not only those who believe a certain way to share their thoughts and expressions as does those who believe counter opposite as well. While I do not promote the pushing of ones thoughts or beliefs on others, I still feel that it lies within the realms of freedom to be able to express. I appreciate your candor, but beg you to realize also that the same right you have to put down…i.e. religion, others bear that same right to lift it up. If I do not like something, I simply choose not to read it, again, my freedom to choose…. Take care…

We all will know when we depart of this earth..I think if I did not believe in it I would have died a long time ago of a broken soul..My prayers are with you for peace and wisdom...

Peace & Love, Dove

Just because the messenger is corrupt, doesn't mean the message is bad as well. What I object to is "dumping on God" when things are rough. The old adage "God helps those who help themselves" is more my line of thinking. If He was to do it for us, the Old Boy be walking in our tennis shoes. You put the disatisfaction most feel about organized religion and their self-righteous bible thumping in perspective. I agree to with all the "sharing", especially when you see the mess inside some of these folks.

Good work...and you made it rhyme yet! ROFL
