Piety In Poetry

Maureen, “Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another.” -Carl Sagan

I’m sorry to hear you don’t believe in God anymore. I have no doubt God/Jesus believes in you. Sadly the church and some so-called Christians have pushed people away from knowing the true God. Hugs Rick.

Mo, a perfect and succinct and very pointed touché in response to those who think they are ‘holier than thou’. You are truly admired and much beloved for your gracious heart as well as you unique and ingenious poetry. I plead with you, please don’t go.. don’t let the rabid opinions of others get into your psyche. A fav! Warmest wishes always my lovely.. ~Susan

NO Maureen. Those that are uneducated and perhaps cross related; definitely in the shallow end of the gene puddle are truly STUPID. NEVER let ignorance reign; for if you shall so will follow the foolish. My god woman you always read my poetry. If anyone should be banished from this site by the minority, it would be me. NEVER volunteer to be the sacrifice; make them caste the first stone; and then throw it back at them, but even harder. PLEASE DON'T LEAVE MAUREEN PLEASE!!!!!!!

Maureen, I do not judge your beliefs or being an Agnostic. I do not consider that when thinking of you or reading your poems. I certainly do not have all the answers. Read my poem "you say I say" and can see my perspective on creation. :)

These judges, juries and executioner's do not speak from God's love. They speak from jealousy. They condemn themselves. I know there is love in your poems and I know we love you. That love did not self generate from nothing. Just like the first atom did not self generate from nothing. It was created by a superior being because he loved that first atom that would eventually become us. That love is the same love in your poems and the same love we have for you. That is the light in this dark world.

Maureen. You are so loved here!! ------- I speak only for me in terms of my leaving.i do think it everyday. ----- I feel lost in my own thoughts.I forget that opinions are just opinions. The problem comes when people literally WORSHIP their opinions, Then I wonder, why am I here? Why try! We all need to look at ourselves. Panagiota sorry you are having a rough go..luv, Panagiota

No...no, don’t leave. We are all in this world together. God alone is the judge. Have a beautiful day!

I am sorry to hear that someone gave you that message Maureen. I hope that you will stay and continue to write :) You are welcome here!

Exhortations abound not to judge our fellow man/woman, and yet that's what people do: 'Judge not; that ye be not judged.'...People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.' 'Don't judge alone, because there only One who is capable of judging alone.' Etc. All these people who condemn you are putting THEIR necks on the chopping block. Forgive them; they know not what they do. Much love, Gershon

You are VERY welcome here, don't even think about leaving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can see how our poems have a similar tone, my dear Mo! Keep on keeping on! Magic love from Happy Jack XOXOX

No one has the right on here or anywhere else to be holier than thou. It doesn't matter to me what people choose to believe in, each to their own beliefs. I keep mine private. Sadly Maureen trolls are everywhere. Like the senyru. Tom.
