Not necessarily important, but most anthropologists disagree that race is real and based only on physical traits.
If you give the instance you should not have to state the theme, it should be obvious. Pushing too hard is not the best word choice to describe letting a fire get out of control. Put 'it' back together; the only 'it' in this poem is the fire. Strong glue to fix something that is burnt is unapt. I like the rest of it though. It has a decent spine.

The inference that agreeing was somehow important.
the thrill of pushing too hard being the theme, and letting something burn too long a specific instance of this.

"What is thy name?"... "but Israel shall be thy name. And he called his name Israel."

unfortunatly, it appears to have ended that way.

Let me ask: When you comment this way, does it mean you think the poem sucks?

Yeah, I didn't relent while I was fighting, I didn't stop fighting, or hold back any tirade. Maybe "wringing" is the problem. I did wonder about that, but decided it was a good enough word for kind of fidgeting my fist around, but not from pain or weakness.

Yes, of course you could. Your argument is 'The Bible isn't about getting into heaven.' All you have to do is post a bunch of passages that aren't about getting into heaven. Except - wait. I already posted a bunch of Bible quotes about how the goal is to get to heaven. I have no articles of faith, I only summarize the Bible. That's what the preceding comment is. Maybe you accidentally reversed that sentence?

"Tonight I'd be human but, oh-sweet-lord, how I didn't relent."

A contorted answer. You assume God, and that's all I was saying.

I don't understand.
zodiac replying on Us Sinners by BrandonW 15 Nov 2005, 11:34 AM
What I assume is that you remember an entire conversation where you assumed God but not heaven. If you don't, it's here: http://www.poemranker.com/poem-details.jsp?id=119209. Notice I made more-or-less the same argument you're making now, to less effect. That is, at least when I assume God I assume God as the only real source of information we have about him makes him out to be. When you assume God you make him out of pillows to practice French kissing.

I see you wringing a big fist, holding back the tirade, not relenting on the fight.
Dovina replying on The Gate of Heaven by TLRufener 15 Nov 2005, 11:21 AM
I could slam Scripture back at you, but I don't want that kind of arguement. Mine was a summary of thoughts gathered from the Bible, not an Article of Faith.
zodiac replying on After Fighting (More Blood Edit) by zodiac 15 Nov 2005, 11:19 AM
I don't think you're using relent the same way I do. Are you?
Dovina replying on Us Sinners by BrandonW 15 Nov 2005, 11:18 AM
When you say, "Could God . . .?" you assume God.
