Comment from Aussie
'Faith is the evidence of things not yet seen.' (Bible) We all seek answers to the most common questions that you have listed. For man, it is not enough to read about it - he needs to see it. And yet, we are told not to ask for signs? Today, the world is like a washing machine - around and around we go mixed and matched with whites and colored. Love is the key that opens the mind and the mind needs to be still and listen to the small voice within that says "when we are weak, then we are strong." No one knows the mind of God - within ourselves we will find Him.

Kacie!! Wonderful friend, thank you ever ever so much. I will be in your port tomorrow.. take care sweet friend and thank you ever ever so much!!!! You are so wise.. jimi

Darling girl, My daddy used to call me Kacie - you touched a tear today. I love your writing Grasshopper, not that I am as learned as you. I call you Grasshopper because you are full of energy (sometimes spent too much on others) and you jump from one thing to another - right? Luv ya, K. XX
-
you are a dear dear friend, absolutely priceless by all counts. I am sure your Father was a wonderful man, had to be, to have raised such a loving person as you are. On the contrary, you are as much, if not more learned than I am, do not ever ever doubt that.I love your terms of endearment from Jiminy Cricket to Grasshopper. I do have a lot of energy and I am so grateful for it and protect it fiercely, just so I can help others.Just how did you know I jump from one thing to another. Yes, I do. I want to cram as much into this brain and experience as much as this life will let me. Nothing is off the radar unless it is immoral or derogatory. You are that way too. Love you dear sweet friend.. jimi

Jimi, My secret I will share - I am a clairvoyant and I see and feel people wherever they are - to help or to listen to. I am very private about my gifts, I am also a healer. Love, Kace XX
Comment from Hitcher
Who hasn't wondered friend, we are curious creatures are we not... Some ARE afraid of seeking too many answers happy with the wisdom of wizards of the day, thank God for those who want more is my way of thinking. An Awesome little poem which should make for some very interesting reviews :)

Comment from The Death
These are the common questions an atheist may ask to challenge presence of the god.
I liked the way you have narrated all those questions.
Now,there are many questions which may not be answered by him.it may be that all the answers lie within ourselves.
It is a nice write.

Comment from Newsome
Jimi, my dear friend -you have wrote an interesting poem, especially in the philosophical sense. It is a deeply written poem that allows the reader to think and ponder just why? This stanza was a grabber...
And if the God we believe
creates all things for a reason;
then why would I so conceive
that death is our hope's treason?
Many believe that death is but a means to escape this world and go to a place for our earned rewards. As far as war and the like, well... that is because we have been granted free will to make choices, good or bad. At times I have thought it would be better if we didn't have free will because so many make horrible mistakes and so many suffer because of them. As a friend, you know my belief system and that I try to be as good person as I can be. Sometimes that is tough to due, especially turning the other cheek, so to speak.
Many times I ask myself why did that happen- like the Twin Towers or the school shootings...why? The answer is that there are evil people in every society just waiting for the chance to do harm to others. Can we ever stop that entirely? I wish we could. My only hope and though is that the victims will be given their just reward which will be peace and love forever. Now, I also hope that the perpetrators will receive theirs as well-see...not easy to turn that cheek. Great work, my friend. As you can see, you have me thinking which is the whole point of your skilled and well crafted poem.
Blessings, my friend....

Comment from fdgsr
Khalil Gibran said in The Prophet, "If he (The Teacher) is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind."
These are universal questions. They carry the assumption that all of God's decisions are manlike (...in His image created He him.) Unfortunately for all of us, we assume to know a person, God, as one who is all wise, thus makes no mistakes and needs not corrections, even by his own acts of penance. A reading of the Creation and of the Flood reveals cross purpose and results attributable to God. We are asked to believe the most improbable events and reasons. All seem to come from the primitive mind of man rather than from a perfect mind of God. All things true, prove that God selects for survival of the fittest from the imperfect and unjust choices. Acts of nature at cross purpose with the will of God are the questions. Survival of the fittest is a discovery by man of what is obvious to us as true. Yet, to the mind branded to believe in a personal God who does everything by a will similar to that of men, it is not understandable. No man knows Truth, itself. We only know what is true and recognize what is false. We know that true at a time excludes false at the same time. Likewise false excludes true. Possible never includes impossible and impossible never includes possible if you include acts of God. To believe that God could create a stone so large that God could not lift it, begs the question as does the belief in miracles. Truth includes the impossible as impossible and the possible as possible even when not true at the moment. A round square and a square circle are impossible by definition. Two plus two equals five is always false everywhere and one plus three is always four, everywhere. So there is certainty within the reach of man. Why not Truth itself? What else that we know has the powers of God? What is higher than certainty? What is higher than Truth?

fdgsr, how are you my friend. Once again, I am late responding to such an incredible review. I love your intellect, although I am afraid sometimes I feel it is way above my thought process. again thank you.. jimi

I say that it is all within the reach of any of us with normal or near normal minds. We all make decisions digitally, is or is not. True or false, possible or impossible. Go to simple reason for our best output, not the most complicated to prove it impossible. Before Euclid, the apparent movement of stars relative to position on Earth were all rationalized by regressions and exceptions, not simple relative motion. Nobody understood, though mathematicians could predict with accuracy if they included the exceptions. Universal relativity simplifies the whole thing to the level that a freshman college student can understand, even if a kindergarten kid cannot. If you stay in kindergarten, you miss science, math, and logic. If you believe in miracles, you miss the meaning of Truth. The modern computer is possible with binary digital logic, not decimal logic. All output is in digital logic with decimal presentation. Think digitally and express logically. Thanks for the kudos, but my pride cannot take the credit. It belongs to the innovators who came before me. They wanted us to use it and God approves by our success.
Comment from Gungalo
Yes, I sought a conversation
With one whom holds life's key
For answers and explanations
To set my grievances free
Oh my Jimi, I hope this helped but it sounds as if you still have questions girl. The answers must come from within you.

I loved this and I'm not a poetry kind of guy!
This poem is written in an easy way, one can follow it. The flow of the words seem natural, there is a rhythm and tone that I like. The questions it asks are universal...who can understand God's ways? It held my attention which is not easy to do. Great job! keep it up!

Comment from Zue65
I like the poem, the philosophical question is strong to make the readers think. It grabbed my attention because the questions are valid, if God created things for a reason, why would God allow war, injustice, crime, suicide, poverty, misery and even hell. But come to think of it, it is us, the humans, who engaged ourselves in war and the injustices are made by our own hands, the sins and atrocities against our fellowmen are our own handiwork, we did it and then we blame God for our own mistakes. But you p[oem is really effective for me to react this way. An excellent read. Well done.
