You know, this could be double entendre... did He *poof* from non-existence? Well, no, because you've addressed him directly, so that asserts acknowledgement of his existence (on some plane) I'm playing your devil's advocate here, by the way lol (along with granting wishes for Christmas) ;) A fifteenth review, it is! So, where was I? Oh yes, perhaps it was He who *poofed* you for disbelieving?
Craig? Where are you? ;)
Merry Christmas!!

Haha , aren't you so sweet? What a lovely Christmas present! Ever thoughtful, that's our Kim. Is that all I have to do, just mention some little whim in passing, and it magically materialises? Hmmmm..... you know, eight star reviews are so hard to come by these days.....
Thanks Kim, I would mention you in my prayers, but well....
Merry Christmas to you too!

Comment from --Turtle.
I read through this short.... "God is dead -- Nietzsche" flavored poem. It was a flash thought. Not much for me to critique other than an agreeing... yeah, the majority of audience here would probably not connect to this poem. I thought it did a good job of relaying a picture of if Zues is silly... and if the Sun god is silly, then... without explicitly stating it.

Thanks Turtle for your thoughtful review. Some people didn't seem to get it, others including yourself did - and for that I'm grateful. Craig.
Comment from Benjamin Valencia
Hi CD Richards...Always good to try your hand at posting your thoughts. The site is great to release whatever streams of thought we have. Living in the middle of nowhere in Australia sounds like my kind of place.
As for your post itself; I'm terribly sorry that it went beyond my comprehension. I'm inferring that the "poof" either means the creation of us or our inevitable destruction by him. After all; to create a new world or heaven; doesn't the old one first have to be destroyed? Anyways, take care CD and keep writing. Cheers.

It didn't mean either of those things. The point was something like this: monotheism tells us that there is one god that exists, and millions that don't. If you add one to that list, what do you end up with? Thanks for reviewing my work, Benjamin. Much appreciated. Craig.
Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
I like your 'just for fun' poem about God. It is funny. I think you did a very good job writing your poem, and expressing your thoughts in only 3 lines.

Comment from Linda Kay
Craig,
Very witty in such a few words. Hope you haven't brought a blizzard down upon yourself-haha! It was 97 degrees here until we had a small thunderstorm to cool it a bit.

Contest, schmontest! Thank you for posting this thought-provoking piece, either addressed to God or as an exclamation!! I guess "fate" was trying to tell you something with the appearance of snow... Smiles- Joan

Comment from Pantygynt
Brilliiant. That will really upset the spiritual poetry crew. Knock the cozy christians for six one might say. Disqualified on the grounds that you had sold your soul to the devil. No. Hang on. He doesn't exist either - I think!

What do you mean I don't exist either? (Oops, sorry about that, I have control of the keyboard back now). Thanks for the generous review, Pantygynt, much appreciated. Craig.

Well I always had my suspicions!

And the FIRST six of the week goes to....

I must have taken a turn for the worst. ;)

This is priceless. Must the same as you are, my dear.
lol
you should have... you really should have.
i'm still giggling.

You are too kind, Cat. Oh no wait, just the right amount of kind :)
Glad I made you laugh (I consider that my primary vocation nowadays).
Thanks so much too for the wonderful sixer!
Craig.

Comment from rspoet
An interesting take on Dear God prompt
I suspect you're right about the snow balls chance
But then, if it is snowing, isn't that an interesting coincidence?
or answer? or nothing but a few snow flakes
I little bit of circular reasoning, but then "poof"
takes care of a lot of things
Even reviews,
Well done

Thank you rspoet, for your thoughtful review. I agree, the reasoning is somewhat circular -- we wouldn't want anyone to have a monopoly on that. The snow has stopped now, and it's raining. Ut oh.... Noah......! I enjoyed reading your comments, much appreciated. Craig.
