And I know what you mean by "adventures," you naughty man.
What if it feels right and also makes sense? Then you have the ultimate.
Yes, may it all come true. Trouble is my knees are smooth now, having given up all that rough soccer and all. Hiking and biking are still good though.
The King language does that to people. Perhaps the Greek meant something like "Faith is the knowldege that what you hope for is really true." Moldy food is seldom hoped for, but an afterlife is, and so is a god in control of things, so these are the things people have faith for.
I believe niether.
I just think the Summa had a good theory.
If I believed Nietzsche would it be religion?
The things I believe whether scientific or religious in nature are effected by personal preference although mostly on a subconcious level.
This is a philosopher: "I believe because it makes sense"
This is religious: "I believe because it feels right"
Philosophers believe in a philosophy too.
With knees like those, you will attract a handsome and rugged man and have many a great out-of-doors "adventures".
Therefore, philosopher = religious, because X could be a philosophy.
Love the ending, punctuation, and flow.
Beautiful flow, choice of words, language, and verse.
Nicely written, great use of words and reference to Literature.
This is the first time I've gone public with a poem...I'm a newbie...be honest, yet nice???
yes, things generally work better when you do them right.
I title that confusionism, written by double-talkist. I write poems like I do - of course. I don't write like everyone else; and sometimes I do something different. So there's nothing to wish on me in this regard.
Titling is the work of writers. If you don't believe so, you'll either write poems like you do or write poems like everyone else and think you're doing something different. I wouldn't wish either on my worst enemy.
I hate that quote. If it never appears on poemranker again, it will be too much. And what the hell does it MEAN??! Faith isn't even substance, so how can it be "the substance" of anything??! And who the hell hopes that, for example, "the men put worn and patched sandals on their feet and wore old clothes... All the bread of their food supply was dry and moldy"?
We love you that way.
Even the Bible agrees: "Faith is the substance of things hoped for."
You have titled me as both sexist and denyist. I should call you a titlist, but such exchanves are futile.
Isn't "incomplete" another word for "with a void"?
