I’m not really sure I understand what’s going on between the two of you .. but I can see there’s disagreement . Maybe you two could message each other in private and discuss things ? It’s never nice to have conflict or upset with another . I’m sorry you are feeling angry / wound up , dusk ..

It seems as if your opponents have put up white flags. It’s unfortunate to see the battle of beliefs fall into a lull for now. It’s always been very entertaining!

You and I speak from the same sheet d a. I too am a Spiritual Believer in my own god, this organised religion is a complete farce and one which I gave up completely.
Good true words d a.
May your god go with you.

Thought provoking poetry
But yes I truly believe one should always be rational in their thoughts and not be brainwashed
And these lines truly hold
“ the road less travelled is a road you work out for yourself
not a road some preacher brainwashes you into believing”

Cor blimey .. & yes, I am very much aware of where that phrase stems from .. however, before I digress too much .. as one that follows a Buddhist path, I place no man above man .. and that goes for gods too .. All in all I found your post today very interesting and informative .. Lillith who I had never previously heard of sounds like one hell of a gall ........... Neville

You see, one thing I like about you Dusk, is that you\'re audacious. If you go to my bio (that\'s been there since I created this MPS account) you\'ll see that the one word I describe myself as is \"audacious.\" Without people like you being brave enough to deviate from poetry that\'s \"accepted,\" we\'ll never find truth. So before going any further I just want to praise you for your boldness. Now back to the point, I, too, consider myself as a \"spiritual\" person. I feel that there\'s something beyond us that humankind just can\'t explain. However, I also don\'t consider myself apart of any religion as I feel each one is founded on unequal principles. Like you mention, \"Christian sexism.\" Gender inequality between Christians is very much true. I have literally seen this firsthand being that my father and my stepmother are both Christians, and you should really see the way they treat each other sometimes. It\'s like his word is the only one that matters, and if there\'s a disagreement then it\'ll ultimately be in favor of my father being that he\'s the man in the relationship and that the Bible literally says \"I do not permit a woman to teach or have authority over a man.\" That Lillith you mention I was unaware of, however, when searching her up it showed that she was risen from \"Judaic mythology\" and I never fully saw an explicit connection between her and the Bible. But assuming it\'s true, I question why the Bible never mentions her? Getting down to that ultimate underlying message of this post, \"why do bad things happen to good people?\" All I can say from personal experience and VARIOUS church sermons is that bad things occur because God wants to teach people a lesson and because \"his knowledge of future outcome are superior to ours,\" so although a certain situation looks negative superficially, it\'s all tied to a greater plan that\'ll overall be positive. Remember, I\'m only going by what I heard, and now what I believe. On the \"brainwashing\" theme, it truly does seem pretty cult-like. I can\'t argue against that, and to see how desperate some Christians get to convert others is truly frightening. The main reason I don\'t fully believe in Christianity is because of it\'s prominent DISLIKE against homosexuals. In the Bible it literally states, \"Homosexuality is an abomination in God’s sight.\" So to see that clear and stark contrast between a \"good and all-loving all-embracing God\" that the Bible and Christians make him up to be, so sharply disapprove of people just because they love their same fking sex is so contradicting. Anyways, just want to say thank you for the insights and feel free to correct me if I\'m wrong.

Hello dusk .. I think there might be a god or a higher ‘ being ‘ .. I certainly believe in angels . Although to be honest I’ve never thought of myself as someone who believes in god . But yes as far as god is concerned .. I cannot believe that a god would be to blame for so many things going wrong in this world .. I even think that would be unfair to say it’s to do with a god . I’m sorry that you had a disagreement with someone on here ..

This is rather eye opening, I was not aware of \"lillith\". Either way, whether God is responsible for tsunamis or not, I still believe in a loving God, no matter the religion. And I really respect you as a writer. I hope we can agree to disagree. ;)

Hello Joey!🎷
The saxophone is one of my favorite instruments I love listening to.
While reading your poem, I was transported to a
‘once upon a time’ moment of delight. Euphoric…to say the least.🎷
Thank you for sharing, dear poet.
