Invisible,
He's not fighting, he's running. If you see courage in running away so be it. I find it not a slap in the face to the ppl who have given thiers in battles b4 this so he could "coscientiously object", but more of a knife in the back. Ppl like this run around spouting of thier bravery while others give life and limb so they can. I find it pathetic. It is not these "brave" ppl that have given us our right to object. It is those that do the "dirty" work. Take your love of your enemies to thses animals who literally saw the heads off bound helpless human beings and see how far that will get you. You can take all the weapons of this country and make of them plowshares but when the wolves come to your door will your love save you and your family? Or will give in to the animals and become one of them? You can love them all you want but you still need to protect yourself from them at the same time. If no one is willing eventually that love will die with those that profess it. So, yes he is a coward. His running is enabling his enemies.One less shield in the way along thier path of Jihad. |

War is good. It's mankind's built in method of population control.
half joke half serious there folks. But all funning aside. your utopia is and always will be a pipe dream. just to many people with to many divergent thoughts and ways of life to have a utopia happen. Besides then who gets to decide what this utopia believes and what rules it lives bt. The christians? The Muslims or the Bhuddists and which sect of said religion will choose the tennent of this utopia. Then again it could be the french or maybe the albanians. Either way a whole lot of people have to change a whole lot of things. Ain't happening. And to this soldier......freaking coward. so go ahead and rip me for what i believe because it isn't meeting your approval. next time maybe i should seek your permission first before i speak. |

Butterfly
i came upon a field of green filled with wildflowers fluttering among the blooms a single butterfly multi colored facetings as sunlight danced upon it's wings it led me on a merry chase over hills and through the vales ever elusive, evading me til i could chase no more upon the 'morrow i'd return armed with a silken net the chase resumed in earnest but no closer could i get til the day i laid my net upon the greening ground and paid no heed to beauties wings allowing it to come to me with the softness of a kiss it lit upon my hand everyday i now awake to my precious butterfly |

A Cup of Bitter Woe
here i sit all alone upon my throne of bone stuck again in a hell i created on my own listening to the suffering screams of another lost soul's painful end no longer does the suffering sate my hunger, nor fill my empty soul so bring to me another cup of woe and let me drink it's bitter brew and quench my burning hate if but for a moment til i rend yet again the wings from upon an angels back in joyful glee to see her pained expression awed in shock to find she is abandoned her faith fueling the sulphurous fires the pitiful wailing feeding my minions still i sit upon my throne of twisted bone in the midst of my own hellish fate one more cup of bittered woe to drink another tortured soul thrown to feed my hate |

The Gathering Divine Sitting in the darkness of the gathering divine whiling away the hours recalling all i left behind mocked by wraiths of memories that have slipped from my grasp trying to piece together the puzzles of my past Retracing every step I took to find where i went wrong hoping for a second chance to take the path untrod i find that i am following the last pinpoint of light shining in thedarkness of descending eternal night past thewraithsof yesterday a new puzzle taking shape showing all the broken dreams and the choices that i made twas not a broken road i walked but a path that led me here to peer beyond the the blinding light and catch a glimpse of you to gaze into your liquid depths and lose myself in you finding after all this time someone to call my own someones hand to hold and lead me down the path out of the darkness of the gathering divine |

in my childs eyes i see forever
The never ending pools of wonder Bright with life and color flowing The innocence of never knowing the heart of shining gold and silver soul. the halo shines with tales untold. limitless potenial to change the world. A salute to a flag unfurled As we stand united , strong, and brave our children's hope we work to save from tyrany and mindless hate and the cold cruel finger of God's fate through sacrifice of blood and life Hope one day lord we can end this strife and emerge from this cold dark night |

Because they take them way to seriously. If you look deep enough it's not always about the religion......religion justprovides a convenient excuse.

Because if he exsisted I would have issues with him.
A kind loving god my ass. We're his children? Then he treats us like crap. If i believed in him I'd have to believe in magic, and we know magic is just illusions and slieght of hand. Just a few reasons why..... |
