Yes, but as a nonbeliever, it doesn't count if I say it.

The funny thing is "the face that launched a thousand ships" wasn't a cliche until some better poet made it up. Namely, this one: http://www.osmond-riba.org/lis/Graphics/Marlowe1.jpg
Actually, that's not so funny.

As if you needed proof of God's existence, the first initials of the band members in ABBA (Abagail, Brian, Bjorn, and Agatha) actually spell ABBA.

I told you, my profession is doing something everybody thinks anybody who has any emotion can do perfectly. Ironically, by actually learning how to do it, I've totally lost my capacity for emotion.

She might be saying people will pay to cure themselves when they're sick, but not to eliminate disease altogether when it doesn't affect them. Like eliminating the "minor 5" diseases in Africa (malaria, typhoid, and I forget the rest), which kill more Africans than AIDS but would require a smaller investment to totally eliminate than what we currently spend fighting AIDS in Africa.

It would be okay except for the last stanza switching back to present again. I think it would be even better all in present, "The howl of tires sinks" and so on. I feel justified in answering here because that was my crit too and I want to show I can be nice.

I liked the butcher block better, and thought it was sensible enough. This is okay, though, if it satisfies everyone else.

"consumptive" is a great word, but probably not what you meant.

Question: Could a God who by most accounts is all things, including all-forgiving, really allow a soul to go to Hell for eternity?

Crap. We've finally repeated the word prostitute too many times for me to upload "I LOVE A PROSTITUTE", so here are my answers:
1) I wouldn't call a poem about my wife "I Love an 8-year-old Girl", obviously. If I had an 8-year-old daughter I would love to love her, but I'm afraid my faithlessness and cynicism have made me entirely incapable of love. The irony is Dovina warned me this would happen.
2) The New Testament Marys are Mother of God, Sister of Lazarus and Martha, and the one who found out the tomb was empty. The woman taken in adultery (note-not necessarily a prositute) isn't named, but confuted with the second two Marys by tradition (as are Mary sister of Lazarus and Mary at the Tomb). It's all rather boring and covered at too much length by the ass-ugly so-called novel, The Da Vinci Code.

PPS-That's why I said 'suggesting' in my original comment. The comment to respond to is the original, not this. Don't get off topic.
