I don't understand this version of Good and Bad Logic. One thing I can stress though, is that however much we discuss God logically, it will not be as easy to see Him as He is as when we see Him through the eyes of faith. Yes, take a look at Abraham, didn't he obey the call of God to sacrifice his only son. What was the result? And I do agree in today's world that parents abandon their child( children), and the like. But one thing we do not understand is that we do not take the time to understand our God for the way He is and on being personal with Him, He reveals a lot of treasures in your life. I have loads of events that I could witness to you about if you are interested( which I doubt strongly), buit that's not the point. The point which I want to stress is that, in all simplicity, God stares you right in the face. Open your eyes and see Him. And when you do you will know the difference. All your logic will only then work clearly.

A very descriptive and powerful presentation of poetry.

just because logic does not connect to god at present, does not mean god does not exist nor that logic is wrong. gravity existed from the beginning and people understood something was there but later as we understood gravity it became more real to us. I do know one thing guys our god does not mind discussion or logical attempts to understand him. his mind is wide and i am sure he loves our search for him. its better to keep wondering where he is and what answers he has for the millions of tears we shed everyday. i believe god follows the rules he has put down for us. when u all discuss things i struggle to see the logic behind things. if we are not his intellectual equals we too would struggle to keep up with him but i think we should not be afraid of lifting the shrouds of mystery. to the simple it is only about 2 laws but for the complicated, you are needed to remind us of the dust in the pictures of our god. I understand when u say gods written in our souls ,so keep searching he will lead u and me to him in his time.

I agree with dovina. Just because something is simple does not mean its not complicated. The question was proof of the logical explaination for god, the answers is 1+1=2,it is a simple way to show that the answer is all around us. simple for the faithful, difficult for the wise. For they search in the deepest of logic, most complicated thoughts while not realising that the answer stares from every little molecule. the natural order of the universe is chaos and any matter left alone moves towards it. energy is required to bring order into chaos. look at the beautiful rules that guide everything and see the simplicity of it all. look deep inside you and take a small breath, you will see the light of dovinas statement............

Short and sweet. to the point.

Poor Dovina.....I wonder what she did to you zodiac. She sounds so innocent when she says 1+1=2. You sound just like my husband who has a lecture for almost anything. Are you two related? Wonder what it would be if you really were! :-)

Re: Memoirs of a miners son by Caducus	30-Dec-05/12:38 AM
Very elegantly descriptive. Except for the punctuation, i don't think i need to comment further. I admire a poet's view for what he writes. So no changes.
Re: a comment on Romans 8:28 by amanda_dcosta	30-Dec-05/12:24 AM
You don't need logic to believe in God. ( Like for eg. - Logic states that God is love, love is blind, therefore God is blind.) Believing in God doesn't really work this way. It as simple as watching a child put his trust in his father and holding his hand to be by his side...for whatever it may be.... a joy ride, a walk, to run through a storm, or to play... it doesn't matter what. I suppose its called 'child-like faith'. The child lets his father decide the course of action , trusting him unconditionally. And no matter what happens, there's a strong bond between father and child....a bond unable to be explained specifically with words but felt intensely through love.

Yeah Paul, the 1st two stanzas are an intro to what we see in today's world. I've just personalized it instead of making it sound abstract. About the ref. - it is actually "a million", and "tread"... Sorry, my mistake. Thanks for the review.... Glad you took interest in it.

It's good. I've read it and re-read it, and each time it sounds better.

Romans 8:28.... All things work for good to those that love the Lord..............
Re: For Love of Baseball by Dovina	29-Dec-05/10:08 AM
i know nothing about baseball and am very poor at outdoor sport, so i don't think my vote would be fair. nevertheless, it is a nice poem and i think i'll vote when i connect with this properly. till then, please excuse me.
Re: a comment on Mixed Quartet by Dovina	19-Dec-05/6:37 PM
Take my word for how its worded. we are all the same. "RACE" is something superficial. Racism does exist, its man-made, to just differenciate us in general, so at a glance we know who's who or specifically what we want conveyed. Thats fine. But what I am trying to say is this. we are all the same..... irrespective of who we are. We are not cows, dogs, cats,..........etc. We are all humanbeings, and what happens to the so one will happen to the other. For you are dust and unto dust you shall return. Its Christmas. We are one.... and celebrate on common event that has changed our world forever. Lets not throw away our coats of differences, but merge it to sing in unison like your mixed Quartet......Lets sing Joy to the world............ for its Christmas. Merry Christmas one and all.
Re: Mixed Quartet by Dovina	19-Dec-05/6:42 AM
You sing? a clear idea portrayed. Good. And yes, we are all of the same race. whether purple, green or orange.
