Jesus loves even you [you respond]
Here's a little poem left for me and other non believers on the message board of our little town.
Quote:
you don't have to believe in Jesus at all my friend
But maybe you will before your life comes to and end
Let me tell you about this man that you speak of
If not for him we might not have love
But I know In my heart he gave his life for me
As he shed his own blood upon that tree
And I know with out him today in my life
I don't know if I could carry on this fight
For life is a battle here on this earth
That why we must always put Jesus first
You just go on if you want don't believe
But I think I will and one day I'll be free
Free from all pain no sickness I'm told
And one day I know I'll walk streets of pure gold
I'll have a mansion to sleep in at night
In a place of no darkness just a shining light
So if you are not believer god loves you to
Remember on that tree he died even for you
So why not give this man called Jesus a try
He will not fail you and open your eyes
Can't you just see him as he hung on that cross
So me and you had that chance not to be lost
Can't you hear him say Father forgive them they know not what they do
As his Blood ran to the ground for yes even you
But I'm just a poem writer and a believer of him
It take the the love of Jesus to change hearts of men
A poem or no words will never make you believe
You must ask forgiveness on bended knees
But the only way you'll know this is really true
Just ask him for forgiveness I beg of you
Look deep in your heart and happiness you will find
How can you find out the truth if you don't try just one time
But if you don't care to you have a free heart
But don't tell me not to believe if your not even willing to start
give me some good responses to post over there.

Who loves me? GADDAMNIT, not another stalker....
Haha... When will they ever stop? Never? Well, that sucks for them... We know the truth... I hate how we can't do anything about it.
It feels like the Matrix. I'm a teenager, I think I'll start trying to turn kids and other teens into atheists from theists... It'll help them out in the long run and they won't grow up full of complete bullshit.
Am I right?

You took the time to write a poem? I'm impressed. But I'm not impressed by your ignorant generalizations. I came to the conclusion there was no God after becoming fully versed in modal logic, molecular biology and philosophy. I concluded that God was an ontological impossibility, a logical contradiction, and a nonsensical presupposition.
I have shut off my mind and thought to myself that surely if God did exist, he would show himself to me, like a reasonable being. He has not. Jesus is dead. I'm glad you don't embrace believe-or-burn doctrine like some of the exclusivists I have met, but I can assure you I have given deep thought to my beliefs. So you have no right to tell me this based on the presupposition that I have not, which is false.
"Physical reality” isn’t some arbitrary demarcation. It is defined in terms of what we can systematically investigate, directly or not, by means of our senses. It is preposterous to assert that the process of systematic scientific reasoning arbitrarily excludes “non-physical explanations” because the very notion of “non-physical explanation” is contradictory.

Books about atheism
Okay then, bye!
So everyone before christianity could never love?
No point in telling me about him then
Well, if he is dead... that would... uh... kinda suck for you. you know, with all the time you devote to someone who has passed on.
He can't fail, he isn't real!
Since when does God experience the biochemical phenomenon known as love, useful to enhance relative fitness?
An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded.
Any of Greydon Square's lyrics will do just fine ;D
Send her/him the YouTube video of the chosen song along with the lyrics.

I have a bit of a problem with your choice of words here. Surely you don't mean that you have shut off your mind to the possibility of a God? I would hate to think that the theists are right when they accuse us of being closed minded. Can you please explain what you mean?
"The idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I am unable to take seriously." [Albert Einstein, letter to Hoffman and Dukas, 1946]
Just substitute "The Flying Spaghetti Monster" wherever it says "Jesus."
Why should I care if someone I don't know tells me that someone I never met loves me?
No we don't, no we don't
No we won't, no we won't
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed?
Oh,you mean Barry White? We know he's dead.
I would admit, that the thought is quite generous
But the evidence that this happened is worse than horrendous
This sounds like a line from A Celine Dion song
When life gets you down, two words -- "beer bong!"
The battle would be easier, if rational thought prevailed
First on the list of "Characters in Fairy Tales."
We definitely will, and thanks for your permission!
Poor sap, dogma has beaten you into submission.
The blind leading the blind, but it really doesnt matter,
You can do this right now, at the home of MC Hammer.
I didnt know the bible had mentioned such wealth
And nuts to the porphyria-sufferers' good health!
Poetry skills are something you lack
Ending two lines with the same word? Hack!
Most of us did, and then we awoke
He's failed with 2/3rd's the earth's population, stroke.
As much as I see Santa riding on his sleigh
One of us is lost alright, have you hugged a muslim today?
No, not right now, I'm watching Planet Earth
Ah, the christian guilt ploy. It has no worth.
You're terrible at one, and foolish for the other
And your grammar is as bad as your rhyming, brother.
The first thing you got right, give yourself a hand,
Like the priests tell the altar boys, and the boys in the band.
You wont convert me, by quoting Spandau Ballet
Beg all you want, I have all day.
Thank you, Yoda, are you almost done?
Say that in a mirror, and think about this one.
No gods, no masters. No freer words than that,
We started, and finished, and you're still running laps.
"The powerful have always created false images of the weak."
Beautiful. As it stands there, it's like a conversation in a poem (call and response, if you would) with am a/b/a/b/c/d/c/d (etc) rhyme scheme (sort of).
A poem about Jesus, not quite enough to delude
A poetic response, for which I was in the mood

I'll fight for a person's right to speak so long as that person will, in return, fight to allow me to challenge their opinions and ridicule them as the content of their ideas merit.
Roisin Dubh, that was beautiful. we should set it to music.
When you must resort to rhyme
You've already lost - big time.
"But don't tell me not to believe if your not even willing to start"
Oh but that is how I started. I was indoctrinated to christianity throughout the whole of my most influential & critical years. I am not telling anyone what to believe, just free up some mind enough to ask some frank questions.
I sometimes think, therefore I am intermittent
Guys, isn't this strickingly simular to religion. I mean, this is something that is quoted among this group like scripture. And what of the person that says how they want to "take time out of there day to convert theists to athiests". Kinda seems like you guys really are your own religion.
I don't mean to start a debate... I'm just giving my opionion. All I know is that nine out of ten people on this site are very nasty with there comments and it seems to say a lot.
And Elmer Fudd loves you. Don't think about it. Just believe. Search your feelings, you know it be true.
Oh, I didn't notice this was an old thread. Blech.
OK, this is just sick. A guy dies and you're saying he did it for me? Jeez...sounds like I have some serious guilt coming my way.
Now you're just stretching things. Nothing in this world indicates you're going to sleep in a mansion unless you're thinking of breaking & entering. Jesus wouldn't approve of that, now would he?
Forgiveness is a wonderful thing, but Jesus isn't the only person to forgive. Also, what's up with the graphic violence in this poem?
Learn to be a freethinker for yourself. It's not up to me to try to convert you, just like it's not up to you to change my mind.

Twinkies and Big Mac's sell well and I am quite sure many Christians shouted "Amen" while reading the tub of lard that poem was.
A rose by any other name? A clechi by any other name has the same credibility.
Ok, so this person wrote a poem about cheerleading about their favorite super hero in the sky. So have countless others by all religions.
I am supposed to buckle under the pressure of a poem, merely because someone mentioned Jesus?
I am a poet myself. I look at poems like photography. It takes alot of prints ending up in the garbage can before you actually get one that is a gem.
This was a Twinkie, not a Rolex. I have written plenty of "Twinkie" poems myself.
Art is subjective no doubt. If this appeals to people, I am not suprised. I have my critics too.

You can believe in Jesus if you like my friend
If it helps you get through your life to its end
Let me tell you about this man that you speak of
If not for him we might have had love
But I know In my heart he took life from me
As he shed other's blood for his holy See
And I know with out him today in my life
I can move on and I don't have to fight
For life is a joy here on this earth
When you put those that you love first
You just go on if you want to believe
But I think I won't and that makes me free
Free from all hate and madness I'm told
And today's when I'll walk those streets of pure gold
I'll have a nice house to sleep in at night
With the woman I love holding me tight
So if you are a believer god may love you
Just show that respect to othes too
You can give this man called Jesus a try
And watch and wait as life passes by
While you imagine him on that cross
Counting your days as they're totally lost
For we know more or less what we do
And that's more than is said for yes even you
But I'm just a poem writer and don't believe in him
It takes open eyes to change hearts of men
A poem or no words will never make you believe
You must rise up and question from bended knees
But the only way you'll know this is really true
Is to think for yourself I beg of you
Look deep in your heart and happiness you will find
How can you find out the truth if you don't try just one time
But if you care you can have a free heart
But don't tell me to believe if your not even willing to start
Freedom of religious belief is an inalienable right. Stuffing that belief down other people's throats is not.
Wow, what a great poem! Thx for sharing it with us & hopefully, the "believer" will get to read it too! Heh.
