Justice

He slapped her and her head whipped sideways. The door slams shut after the confessional and before the pearly gates.

That's right--and I don't care if he repents. It's too late after that. People who abuse others deserve to rot in hell. Just ask anyone who has been abused. OR--was she abused verbally by the priest for something she deserved or perhaps did not?

The moment we create the object in our mind, it exists. So existence, our existence, has no alternate. Does life have an alternate? Life is a prolonged experience, death is often instantaneous or short. Is not birth the opposite of death? Then is after life the opposite of life? What if there is no afterlife?

On the contrary, I think punctuation is great in poetry, it can lend another dimension of understanding to both reader and poet. However, with regards to existence, does it have to be with regards to god? For if something where to not exist, that something cannot be used as an example, the concept of non existence denotes that whatever does not exist cannot exist as a concept. If I know what a spoon is, even if their are no physical spoons left, I cannot say spoons do not exist.
