Bible Quoting Fag Killer (So it is said) (Free verse) by Blindproject217
Looking about at the desolate streets I am alone My ideals that have been told are true Are burned before me As nations rise to take power Many protest I stand behind the truth that I know I cling to my reality I am afraid Afraid to open my eyes And see nothing To see the emptiness that motivates The lost about me But as I look in the mirror Im not ashamed I know who I am And you hate it And I hate you for the pain you give I hate you for hating me And Im lost in the hate that consumes me And my ideals that were crushed Are thrown back in my face With a note that condemns me With only a question An inquiry that asks How are you different from me? With my life that shows The opposite of my beliefs How can I be different? In a world that doesn’t want me to be You wanted to know why Im different? Why I refuse to open my mind? Cause your relative stance is inadequate To fill what I need inside With your agnostic screams of tolerance With your humanistic stance With all that you have With all that you are You’re nothing but a pawn, controlled from afar

Im not condoning hate, Im angry and I get lost in it. As soon as that happens the world convicts me "You call your self a Christian?" NO I call myself human. Im trying to follow my beliefs but its not easy (nothing is). You think that I actually like trying to be righteous, sometimes I dont even want to try, I want to go and do everything Ive been brought up to know is wrong. I wanna go kill every person who makes fun of my convictions, I want to curse out every guy who pushes me around, I want to not worry about sin and forgiveness and all the other Bible crap. But I look at the bigger picture, I see Loneliness and suicide, I dont want to live an empty life, I want to feel meaning and purpose. Something Ive never had until now..Look, I could argue all day until im blue in the face, but Im tired of it. Im tired of trying to prove myself all the time. Im not even going to retaliate anymore, there is 1 of me and a 100 of you. Ill just post my crap and pray for all you. I done want anymore enemies, Ive got enough at my school and my nieghborhood. Ya know why? Cause I wont smoke pot or steal, And you say that am intolerant? You say im a crusader, you call me a fag killer? Ive never hurt or hated anyone for disagreeing with me, I don’t hate homosexuals, I don’t hate people who disagree with me. I just tell people what I think because I don’t want to see them in hell.

I do not believe I said any of those things about you. Are you paranoid? Look to others. I said you were an shallow idiot, which I will chalk up to age. I also said you sound like a Mormon on a bike, which you do. I also mentioned the brainwashing, which you are. Plus, I told you to SHUT THE FUCK UP, which you haven't. That is all you can tack on the poetandknowit. Dig?

All your problems would be solved if you just realised that Christianity is a complete load of bollocks. There is no reason for you to continue to struggle to live up to an ancient text that is not only contradictory, but also reads like the ramblings of a drunk horse.

Homosexuals aren't bad because it says so in the Bible. They're bad because they're gay. The sooner you come to terms with that little revelation, the better it'll be for all concerned.

DA, I know where your coming from, thanks for the advice, but I cant. Maybe Im brainwashed like p&k said. But I cant be wrong, realizing that your whole life has been a lie, do know how mind-blowing that concept is. Waking up and coming to grips with the fact that every thing that you to be right and wrong is all grey? Look, I know it sounds foolish but I still believe it, its not something I can explain. Its just a gut feeling. And so far it hasnt let me down. Thanks for the advice though.

Suppose for a minute that you do believe in Christianity, but that it is, in fact, a load of old cobblers. Describe an event that, if it took place, would, in your opinion, "let you down" as regards your belief in Christianity, thereby resulting in you renouncing your beliefs.

Alternatively you could write about a shoehorne. That's a feat that I've not managed yet. Throw in a couple of prawnes, a pair of soiled underpants and a pirate's nest and I think you'll have written pretty much the perfect poem. Let me know when you've done it, I have a ten waiting.
I agree with Tintagiles, the last line should be 'prawne', not 'pawn'. At least that's what I thought upon a first read.
I'm glad to see that you're a nice person, however don't be too Kantian in your life because as I've found it's a pile of crap and people will take advantage of your niceness. Just get along with everyone who deserves it. Take it easy, write what you want and enjoy it.
Good Evening to All.

Thanks ranger, I will. And I think I might just write a poem about that.

The sexual repression of paternalistic monotheistic religions can be great inspiration for art... but the pagans had better technique. There's plenty of angst and angst poetry around. (I'm not above adding my crap to the pile.) It sounds like you're almost read to move on. From experience, you'll thank yourself on so many levels when you do so.

I haven't laughed so much for ages!!! Congratulations!!! That was BRILLIANT!!!!

Oh, wait a minute. You were SERIOUS? Gack.

I am deeply offended that you should refer to some of my type as agnostics as opposed to atheists. This is quite discriminatory. Desist, cur.

P.S.: Shouldn't the last line be: 'You're nothing but a prawne'?

This must of been how the Aztecs felt too, before the shit went down. You'd better get ready, because the gnostics are the leat of your worries. Picture Allah with a bad case of SARS sitting next to you on a long flight home. better hold your breath Chirpy, there's turbulence ahead. As for the difference between us? Natural talent and about a 100 iq points. You wouldn't now an agnostic from a used taoist's hand towel if Simon the mage was working magic from the recesses of your large intestine. That is all. You are excused.

I like the bumper sticker that reads, "I'm a Militant Agnostic - I don't know and neither do you." Then again, I also like what Francis Schaeffer said to one man who claimed to be an agnostic, "'Agnostic', that's Greek, isn't it? In Latin that would be 'Ignoramus,'" or words to that effect.

I think you're being controlled by the Bavarian Illuminati. Wrap your head in tinfoil and be sure not to leave air holes. The whole world is watching, dude!

Dear boy,... I don't even know where to begin. Does Jesus condemn, or does he save? It's not heaven if in the end not everyone gets to go. Jesus gave up his life for the sake of tolerance and love. You don't know what I'm talking about do you?

Either way your poem is simply a rant.
Good luck.
