Subtle Reasons (Free verse) by crooked_smile Does anyone else see
the subtle reasons why
God is a father
and nature a mother?
Could it be because we
turn to God,
for answers to the tough questions,
even though we know
we won't get a straight answer?
Is it because we turn to nature
for the miracle of life,
and for love, and for happiness,
and for comfort?
Is it because God keeps us wondering through the long night,
but nature wraps us in her arms and holds us tight?

That's pretty much it. God is strong, infallible, doesn't wear shoes, male. Nature is nurturing and female. Not exactly subtle though. It merely reflects beliefs held as our language evolved.
Please tell me you read my response before deleting it. Everybody else did, apparently, so what difference does it make. In fact, you can just select one of the following easy responses:
A) I read your comment, found it cast my poem in a bad light, was afraid of it dragging down my voting, but didn't want to change the poem so it wasn't sexist. PS-I notice richa said the same thing. Do you believe me now?
of course i read your comment -

Think not of God turning a blind eye to his children, realize that we all must learn to walk our path on our own. For if someone does everything for you in life and gives you all the answers, what have you really learned?.
The devil well once again i do not believe in the devil, I do believe there are many evil things in this world, Like selfishness, heartless-ness, greed, ego, and money lol. thos are your devil.
