Comments and criticism welcome, digging up some old poetry of mine.?
Do Good Little Pyromaniacs Go To Hell?
What is the world but a lumbering sphere,
With lumbering little people down here?
Living and loving in their daily masses,
Like ships in the night, one occasionally passes.
They live and they die, but where do they go?
Are there fields up above, or fire down below?
Does each man decide where his essence shall land?
Is the answer in stone, or merely in sand?
Should one live by that code, or maybe by that,
Can a solution be found at the drop of a hat?
Is the key in a steeple, or maybe a book?
Or maybe it’s somewhere no one would look.
All mortals hope that their response is correct,
And that splendor is not spoiled, on some other sect
Is ecstasy a place, or a state of mind?
A universal good is quite hard to find.
Maybe every being has his own little slice,
Of a personal perception, we call paradise.

2 AnswersPoetry1 decade agoWhat are your thoughts on this eulogy delivered for the late Douglas Adams?
". . . imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in, an interesting hole I find myself in, fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it's still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be all right, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for."
thoughts, anyone?

8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoSo, I finally saw "I Am Legend"...?
And the girl who I watched it with immediately started asking questions as soon as the end credits came rolling, one of which was, "why is it called 'I Am Legend'?" Immediately I realized that with that stupid ending, went all the meaning behind the title, (which I won't spoil just in case).
My question is, why take away the meaning of the title? it seems so poorly done.

2 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoAny Jehovah's Witnesses out there?
It has been a while since I did some research on a religion, and I figure I'd like to get some information on the Jehovah's Witnesses. if any of you would like to give me a link, an explanation, or any means to read up on your faith, it would be greatly appreciated.
I don't google because it is a very partisan topic and I'd like to get it from someone who knows their way around.
27 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoSpiritually speaking, What would you do?
Two suspects are arrested by the police. The police have insufficient evidence for a conviction, and, having separated both prisoners, visit each of them to offer the same deal. If one testifies ("defects") for the prosecution against the other and the other remains silent, the betrayer goes free and the silent accomplice receives the full 10-year sentence. If both remain silent, both prisoners are sentenced to only six months in jail for a minor charge. If each betrays the other, each receives a five-year sentence. Each prisoner must choose to betray the other or to remain silent. Each one is assured that the other would not know about the betrayal before the end of the investigation. How should the prisoners act?
What would be your course of action?
