Hello, thank-you for your reviews!
Fallenangel12 is back! Well, I must say, some very interesting reviews, supporting Christianity and questioning my questioning – which is one of the best qualities one can have.I love to hear another side of the story - there can never be too many.
I know, and have accepted that although I, personally, don't believe in a Religion, it causes no harm if other individuals believe, and therefore grow into a stronger person – by the means of having faith in one thing that they can always rely on – Faith. When however, people use religion as an excuse to commit murder in the first place, or when religion is not used as something for creating peace, but war, that, is when people need to make a stand. When Religion prevents people moving in the right direction regarding knowledge, happiness and most of all, Freedom. (E.g. the Illuminati)
That is what I have done, expressing my outrage, after reading many books, both based on Christianity and Atheism and religions in general. No, I am not a religions professor – I only turned 14 three days ago-however I have been exposed to religion, specifically Christianity, for my whole life.
A Hypocrisy from the bible?. One example includes 'thou shall not kill' – a commandment vital to 'the way of God'. However, if God is so holy, why did he kill so many via the means of biblical figures, e.g. King David and his countless winnings in war? What made these people unholy and evil enough that they were forsaken redemption and killed off in an attempt to prove Gods or David's power? "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." – God ended thousands of peoples lives, peoples worlds, in David's reign of power. They broke the Ten Commandments, because they were 'steadfast in sin' for not believing in God. However, God seemed to break His own rules.
Going by that all documentation of the New Testament, is precisely that - I am aware, yes, Jesus was, what we may say, 'a rebel'. His growth to power started amongst the most prejudiced-against and lower class people of his time,
That, however, is not the point. Whats done is done – the past, which many choose to make the future. Whats happening is happening – alter the present to alter the future. This is what I am trying to do.
My friend, a Christian, asked me to try and write a poem from a Christians POV. It is not as good as it would have been if I actually have faith in a religion/Christianity. If is a different style of poetry that I have been experimenting with lately – I would like to hear your opinions.
Not Alone.
(For azell, happy birthday)
Solitude, but never on ones own
So unique, never a clone
The blinded skeptics will never see
Too busy stabbing their own eyes, to believe
The sterile science can never create
Beauty so wild, majestic and free as what He has made
If there is no such thing, why do you strive to deviate?
He created love – its us whom invent hate
Why do they divulge in sin?
I wonder if they miss the love of their truest kin?
Empires on earth always prosper and die
But never the unbreakable beyond, I tell no lie
This world, it moves much too fast
His love, however, shall always last
From his guidance, a wilting flower has grown
Replacing all isolation I have known
This room may appear empty
But I know I am not alone.

Fin. Peace.
