this is not a poem just a response to what you commented on my poem...I will thank GOD for taking my loved ones...cause they are in a better place now then they are here...GOD did not create AIDS, Hitler, Stalin, etc. etc. etc. they are human beings that were givin a gift by GOD the gift of FREE WILL. This world is not totally based on what you can see. can you see air. can you see love. can you see pain. NO. can you see GOD. YES!!! every single damn day of your entire life. GOD is the good things in this world. We the human beings of this world create destruction and dispear. Does GOD make anyone kill someone no. But HE tries to teach that this world is just the beginning and that there are greater and better things beyond what you can see, hear, taste, touch, and smell. I belong to no "basic religion", I belong to a religion that many people have died and slaved to preserve. you don't have to like it. hell you can hate me and my religion for all I care. but do not disrespect me, my Savior, my Lord, My GOD. whoever you ancestors are that we so happen to have tortured. if this is in fact true. then they are wrong. but my religion. my belief or idea of a better world, life, and understanding is not at fault. so do not disrespect. my religion is just an idea or belief. it does not make the person. OK. now when I wrote that piece of art. which it is. anything that is written or created in the name of the Lord is art. that piece of art was not created to convince you or anyone else. I am not in a debate. I am a POET. say it with me a P-O-E-T. I write because I feel. not because I am told to or debating. because I FEEL. that is a poet. now you saying that that piece of art did not convince you shows how less of a TRUE poet you really are. I do not kneel close-eyed and when I do it is called FAITH. why don't you get some FAITH into something. now I don't care what you think about this. I don't honestly care. so you have a good life. PEACE!!!!LOVE!!!!and GOD BLESS!!!! Copyright © biggnigg Reader's comments From: Jenni K. Posted: 2001-07-15 05:47:37 You tell him, biggnigg!!!! From: AnnD Posted: 2001-07-15 10:45:34 Well said...... From: a girl who kinda agrees w/ calbo Posted: 2001-07-15 14:09:19 you suck. From: krissy Posted: 2001-07-15 15:22:33 hey biggnigg, this is kinda like eaves dropping, but hell, it's a public forum. gotta say, man, well said. i gotta respond to to calbob..again... i have read some really poorly done pieces, (and have written some myself), but we have collected here on Mick's site, by his invitation, to share our thoughts, dreams and passions in verse and poetry. celebrate us, congratulate us, disagree if you will, but respect us for laying bare our souls for all to see and judge. like thumpers father said.."if ya can't say something nice, don't say nothin' at all"!! krissy From: Calbob Posted: 2001-07-16 01:33:16 If your god didnt create Hitler, Stalin, ect. then he is not omnipotent. If He did then he is not benevlolent. Either way he is not the god the bible claims him to be. When you profess a belife in something expect it to be challenged. If I told you that I worship the invisable pink unicorn I would expect you to question me. If your god is truly a god then he is big enough to survive what you call disrespect. In truth, if he was the one who gave us our excelent brains that allow us to think and wonder and write poetry then it would be a tribute to him to question him. Your brain is the most valuable possesion you could ever posses. Do not allow it to fall into a stupor by not using it to question everything. It is true that countless thousands of my ancestors were tortured and killed in the name of your god. Spanish jews in the inquistion. Germans accused of witchcraft. Navajos killed for being the way of god's chosen people. These are my ancestors. They're culture has been subverted by the opresion of those who follow the words of a man who claimed that his father loved all of us. This love he spoke of must be evident in the earthquakes he sends to kill poor people in Africa. Or the huricanes, tornados, and blizards the claim the lives of so many of his children. Honestly Calbob From: Dark Angel Posted: 2001-07-16 11:30:38 Eh, I'm agreeing with myself. Bigg didn't tell anyone anything, just a bunch of falsehoods. You'll see what I have to say in the newest post. Dark Angel This goes to the last post... but I thought I would stick it here so someone would read it. Ummm... I think I should be able to say something here. Bigg Is wrong, you can see love and you can see pain, and if you haven't seen it, then you're not looking hard enough, probably because you don't care. But, you cannot see "God". "God" is a made up figure by people in the past who thought something like that would maybe, possibly, make the world a little better. It wouldn't be so crime ridden and such. It was a lie that was passed down by generations to make people look up to something that's not there. Now that's just my opinion, you can call me what you want based on it because I truly don't care. I believe that "religion" is wrong and I'm proud that through my whole life I have never stepped into a so called " church" to even step through it's door or the ground it sits upon because it's all so fake. The government hides a lotta shit to try and make this place less violent, and the so called " Bible " tells the false story of someone's non existant life. You can't look back all those years and tell me they have papers written from some guy who claims he can cross an ocean and destory all the bad people in it's wake. Things like that don't last that long. And you can't tell me that some " 10 commandments" written on a rock are some great happening from "heaven". Things like that don't happen. Look how many years ago those stories were told. You take a secret and tell it to one person in a room of 25 people. By the time it gets around the room it's so distorted and has so many false addings to it that it's totally wrong from the original secret. "God" was a story probably told by some old man to a child back in the days when all they did was sit around and talk and work. They had nothing better to do and the child told this person and this person told that person. We don't know what the truth is. That shit happened a long long time ago. We don't even know if it's true. No one can prove it. There are no real facts just what some so called " experts " say. And some stupid "preacher" you go to every Sunday who orders Playboy magazines in the mail. Now if you call that a non sinful man who worships "God" then you have something else coming. And yes, it's true. My boyfriend is a mailman. " Religion" is just another Government way to try to keep some things under control. And I'm going to shut up now because I could keep going and going, and I can always, always, back myself up.Birth sign: Pisces
