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

That is a wonderful quote, thank you Richard :), xomo!

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.

Don't feel sorry love. I am not without awe, wonder, a deep sense of spirituality, and love. I just believe that man is fallible, and that man made the church. Hugs xomo!

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

Thank you Lovely! I deleted the poet's notes, they appeared to have drawn more attention than the poem. ..you're the first ;), I'm thrilled you love it. Hugs <3 xomo!

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!!!!!!!

Thank you my friend. I'm not going anywhere. Just one too many poems naming homosexuals or transgendered abominations and women who have terminated pregnancies as murderers destined for hell, my muse finally had something to say about it. If I did leave, I'd get your email first. ;), hugs! xomo

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. :)

I remember being afraid I might offend poets of faith, but poets of faith writing of abominations and baby killers don't seem to worry that their words may offend, and truly hurt their fellow soupers.

Thank you Tim. I did check it out, a little thick reading for my brain (difficulty due to impaired eye movement) I believe in something, I just know that I am too small to know. Of all the faiths, (raised Catholic) I find myself more aligned with buddhist ideologies, aboriginal and pagan faiths. An old poem of mine, "Birdwatching" expresses my feelings, however...

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

Thank you Panagiota. I have not considered leaving that much, but I have my moments, I do fear that impulse to delete all. But that isn't like tearing up a canvas that has never given back as much as sharing poetry here has. This is comradery. xomo

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

I have no plans to, just finally my muse gave voice to what has upset me here time and again. For the most part my experience here has been overwhelmingly positive. Wonderful actually, in a healing kind of way. <3 Thank you Kim! xomo

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!

Thank you Heidi. It is not one person, I have encountered this since I joined the soup; I have in the past openly commented, but now I just seem to read and reread, sending the dagger, in disbelief, in deeper. Where else would I go though? ;), Hugs and love, xomo <3

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

Under the assumption that God is Love, they indeed do not know what they do. It is heart breaking. Thank you my friend, love always, xomo <3

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

We have to spread the love, we do, we do! And well, I can't go anywhere as long as you are here. ;), Love & Hugs <3

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.

Oh, not even trolls, they pretty much come by their negativity honestly. When a poet I like or a poem of the day tells me I am going to hell, I sincerely question how welcome I am here. Thank you Tom! xomo <3
