Holy Poets, Hear Me Out

……. Holy Poets…… 

If you don’t like a poets views take a long walk.
Don’t beat anyone over the head, with endless
God talk.

They may be Jewish, Buddhist, Islamic,Atheist 
whatever!
It’s none of your business to hog tie them with a 
Christian tether.

They don’t need you...who are you the Pope?
Moralistic monks posing at poets with hope??

At least, the Hare Krishna folk can dance!
You have spiritual, Savior “ants in your pants”

Many practicing, good Christians, already are here.
Take your own moral inventory, before condemning  
other poets, far better than you, be of great cheer.
  
Jesus was right on the money!
“Judge yourself, before you judge anyone”was pure, 
clear, ESUS honey!

This is a place for poetry, not eternal salvation.
Quit playing clerics and sending poets to eternal 
damnation!

Do pray, in humility, for all you “think” that are lost!
Remove your white collar, alienating dear poets is not 
worth the cost!

Poetry is about honest self_expression at its best!
If you think it’s about judging, worse, destroying others,
you are on the wrong quest!

There are Christian poetry sites you can participate in... and 
Being non-Christian here, is no requirement, nor is it a sin! 

Look at all the countries represented here.
Give each one space, respect them and be of good cheer!

Those who preach are not one those who should teach at this site. This site is about poetry. I agree with you there are other outlets for religious discussions. Respect each other!

I meant phony preachers of the Word.make believe untrained saviors. Many good Christians and others here... you are still new here and have not seen the great poetry of humble Christians here. With many churches still under the gun, it’s a huge problem. Tyrannists close churches. It’s history time, Pangie

I agree with this. I think it is very well said, and, honestly, very respectful of others and their right to believe and worship as one chooses. I am very open about my Christian Faith -- but they are my own beliefs, and differ in many ways from Catholicism, Protestantism – etc. (years ago, I would have been burned at the stake) I don't believe one can divorce themselves from such beliefs, and still write honest, and meaningful poetry. Some of the best poetry in the world, in my opinion, are the Psalms of Solomon. They are beautiful. What I try not to do, is never put down the personal belief of others differing from my own. I will debate...if no name calling. I have had at least one Born Again Christian, make a cross with his hands in my face, and holler: "Get thee hence Satan" -- afterwards, he never spoke to me again...so that was that. Have a beautiful day Pangie. Blessings!

Honesty shines in your response, Princede Mino! Christians forget, they are as hated as Jews and yes’m beheaded, tortured. In Hitler’s camps, nuns and priests were a favorite to be put to death. As a Baltibed Cgristial when young, I am still going to hell as I’m not baptized under water? I guess all other religion are, too? As you know Jesus was a Jew, he was not a Catholic, Protestant or Baptist, it’s a long story how he suddenly was of a Jew any longer? It does not fit the narrative.but then Jews are still awaiting Elijah so Jesus was a phony God? I honor other beliefs.and I, too, have been told, I am hell bound by flakes. I think God will decide, not me! Plenty of pretend priests here ,that’s OK. The workdhas gone mad. Agree on the Psalms. Beautiful. The world! Nutz. Pangie xx
