  1. Here I hang
    Nailed to the Virgin-Born throne
    A crown upon my head
    I am King of Thorns

    And forever more
    When thy family breaks bread
    Remember, I gave my life
    So that He may forgive

    Now count thy sins
    Give thanks for thy blessings
    Fall not into temptation
    Less thy become the Devil's plaything

    Before thou slumber
    Pray for thy salvation
    For I, King of Kings
    Judge the for damnation

    I am Christ
    I am the Virgin-Born
    I am Deceit
    I am King of Thorns

    I wrote this piece a while back. The subject isn't usually something I would go into, for the sake of not being a nay-say-er to any religion, but I am an Atheist and I do have my own beliefs about the conflicts of logic and Christian religions.
    I'm sorry if it offends you. I did not mean it as a personal attack on anyone.
    Please let me know what you think!

    Well to be honest as a none-atheist this wasn't that offensive really ive heard worse before. Now I think "logic" is a subjective thing its talked about but not scene yet we are told it exists and to follow it despite the fact "logic" isn't scene. So to me having faith in logic is just like any religion my opinion atheism is one if it looks like a duck,acts like a duck it must be a duck. I think logic,science and religion can get along myself but that is a minority opinion it seems in this day and age. But again not offensive interesting but not offensive :)

    Well as somebody who writes southern gothic fiction I think writing about religion is interesting and can be good it doesn't have to be negative. Of course it seems to me if your going to go after religion you have to go after atheism as well which today to be honest acts like a religion gatherings,host speakers,books,fellowship of a kind. I often think people attack religion to try to be controversial or to go against the "establishment" although coming from a logical point of view atheism is establishment its in collage its in school's. Often tought along with the theory of evolution which in its own way has become a religion and is held up as holier then anything and "logical". But again we can't see "logic" but people have faith in it so to me its no different from any religion given the high amount of idealism and worship that is put on "logic". But writing about religion is always interesting :) Glad I could give you my insight I don't know what good it is lol its long winded lol

    I actually enjoy the 'long winded' stuff over 'Oh, this was good but work on blah blah blah...'! I agree that atheism is a bit ridiculous. I'm not religious at all. I don't believe in god or any type of god but I do believe in science and I have my own theories about what happens after you die. I'll save that for private conversation though! In the end, I believe you are an intellectual individual, and I honestly can say that I'm thankful to speak to somebody with strong opinions, such as yourself. :) So message me sometime! We can share poetry or whatever lol

    I don't think this offends anyone. But I hate blanket statements. I will try to find this person who finds this thing offensive.

    Seems pretty safe to me. Maybe too safe even.

    Well I think people of religion get offended too easily at times I have often delt with name calling from atheists saying "You don't care about science" or "logic". But at the same time atheists get offended by people of religion im certain I do think if people actually talked and debated idea's things would be better. Unfortunately that seems unlikely as we have both evangelical Christians and evangelical atheists who can't agree on much I think atheism is silly myself but atheists think religion is silly. "Logic" only exists in the mind therefor I find it rather untrust worthy at times and emotionally based therefor its not worth much to me. Obviously my dark sense of humor would certainly offended many Christians and likely other groups as well but I don't really care if someone gets offended lol. I don't write poetry but I write short stories that vary in quality lol
