Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Trust: 2 of 111

Break my soul, Upon desperate tactics; To back-pedal through Miserable mistakes that have ripped- Its tremor across this blanket of trust. Leaving this chasm broken open Laying waste to the infections, Decaying these foundations. Built from the ground Taking years of insulation- Resolution to be banished upon the Heartless o...
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Why God punishes evil when he has given free will: 6 of 56

God does not punish evil on this earth. In the Old Testament there are many accounts of God punishing those who did not follow his will. That was the Old Testament; through the blood of Christ we are under a new covenant so we don't have to worry about fires from the heavens burning us up whenever we make a stupid mistake or...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Drinking: 37 of 181

No Mourning Tomorrow Another sip of happiness To fuel his inner beast. It lies waiting to come forth From its dark domain in his souls abyss. He lays quietly, only rumbling his head; He will soon be heard from the deep The more ignorance is laid at its feet. His long companion His long enemy When the orb of darkness shines A...
Religion & Spirituality > Christianity (Other) Testimonies: Is it alright to be angry with God: 5 of 20

Jeremiah was angry with god, David went on Psalm after Psalm and was angry with god, Job was angry with god. It is okay to be angry with god. It is okay to be angry with god.

There are experiences in life that some will never get to enjoy. Not everyone will get to see the breathtaking horizon at the top of Mt. Everest.

Society & Lifestyle > Gender Issues Understanding the role of society in forming gender identities: 9 of 22

Gen(d)elman The little black binder from the server hit the table with a familiar thud. My date and I at the time had a moment's pause of breath to acknowledge that the bill for this evening's meal had indeed arrived. Without hesitation I reached for my wallet and pulled out my Visa. I took a quick glance at the bill; only t...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: The rain forest: 10 of 24

Forest Destruction Catapult me to oblivion, For divine intervention Has long swallowed its existence. I shall sing to the heavens! Until a life of my own Can carry itself out amongst The stars. To walk along the boardwalks Of justice and hate, And all things created. By one carved hand Together we shall lift our voices And n...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Sorrow: 82 of 195

How can this imaginary impulse; become so imp active? Upon the rooftops standing, shouting- I engage only engage. Force feed myself to let myself in. Internal combustion and, internal disdain shall we really be saved? Together we stand? I alone stand. Another call from a familiar scenario. How many times can this happen, thi...
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues How could a loving God send people to hell: 40 of 86

It is ridiculous to actually say that God purposefully sends anyone to hell. Our creator in no stretch of the imagination points a finger at a soul and says, Off to hell with you, I don't like you sinner! It is also absurd to think that God, who does in fact love, intentionally sends anyone to hell after they have been judge...

Throughout the series the subtle tones of evil become darker gradually until the bitter end, which is then submersed in darkness as evil ...
