Array ( [sid] => 1059 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Questions [time] => 2002-07-24 10:24:06 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Excuse me, to all concerned or current resident.
Yeah it's me again, the one with an endless
number of questions and fears.
Yes, I tried searching the world wide web
from end to end.
No answers there, so could you please put
down the cell phone and lend me both ears.

The latest news is that a five year old child
was murdered.
A newborn baby was found in a garbage can.
Somehow the book of "Revelations" just
isn't all that scary now.
Especially when the here and now is man's
inhumanity to man.

Why do you furrow your brow like that,
my curiosity should not make you so defensive.
It's as if my questions somehow threaten your
faith or make you feel some doubt.
I would love nothing more to believe that there
is indeed a heaven.
Now that I can see that all along, hell has
been clearly mapped out.

I like this poem so much I want to carry on with my "two cents worth" in support. Perhaps I'll try something like one called R.I.P. and say it was inspired by your "QUESTIONS" that is , if you would't mind.

So many religions (and sub-divisions of religions) have such a clever 'con' to draw people in, it is almost impossible to get them to see through it.

e.g. "Have faith and your rewards will be salvation, a place in heaven,universal love, personal contact with your maker etc etc.
It's a tough nut to crack. For instance any religion practiced under Roman occupatin had to mind it's P's and Q's especially one created around the time of Messada.

But created ity was and it eventually brought down the Roman Empire.

I particularly admire your origionality and incisiveness

Where do I find the old site?
