I have read the Christian bible from cover to cover but all it did was to strengthen my resolve to remain an Atheist.

Why Inside the world of non-believers? I take exception to this term because I believe in a gazillion things. Just because I cannot concede that a super human being has the magical power to create an entire universe, yet has to fashion a man out of mud & a woman from a rib bone, doesn't make me...
Unless it involves a very close family member.

Hi There ... From one poet to another ... I think this is a marvellous piece of prose! It mirrors exactly what I believe you were thinking when you put your thoughts down on paper. The single word stanzas were a little disconcerting at first but as I read further they became hard hitting and...
As a man who lives and works out of Africa all I can say is remember ... Congo, Biafra, Rwanda, Darfur, Ethiopia, to name but a few. The millions slaughtered, raped, maimed by having their hands and or arms hacked off, infected with Aids, bribery, corruption, blood diamonds etc etc ...

If all reference to the holy man called jesus having dated women and been married to mary had not been edited out of the bible by the church, elton john might not have made such a comment.
