The grammar and syntax of your argument for the existence of Hell
is sound, if you except the premise that the Gospel of Jesus is God's
word. Do you see how volatile religion is in the Middle East?
Can there be any rational argument for ISIS?
It is reasonable to conclude that the Gospels of Jesus were written
by Apostles in primitive and superstitious times , who were not concerned
about scientific truth.
The Gospels state that Jesus "walked" into Hell to save the just people, who had
known him. The inference being is that only Christians can enter Heaven.
Is that justice?

Does Jesus forgive non-Christians?

Did I help?

God forgives those, who sin against him.
But, who can know the mind of God?
I like the rytham of your tome.
Catholics believe in free will and God's absolution.
It is possible Adolf Hitler is in Heaven, if he made an act of
sincere contrition.
Could you forgive Hitler's sins?
What would Jesus do?

I think I loss some consciousness, reading your
thread on the end of thought.
It was amusing. I saw only one typo.
"when got home." appears to drop "he."
Maybe, that was a subtle detachment from thought of grammar?
The Greeks believed that the body defined the person, hence
the importance of excise and philosophy ..

Review of Bloomsday  
Review by bob county
Rated: 18+ | (3.5)


Poor girl. She's a busty lass with a twitchy DNA.
Sounds like Poison Ivy at The Little Shop of Horrors.
What I'd like to see is more of your insight on Eva Bloom.
Was that Hitler's girlfriend's name? Ehm, Braum?
Any who, I love a good naughty tale waggar.
It reminds me of the yarn about a man's talking penis.
The fellah tries to smooth talk the ladies, but his waggar
is very rude.

Do not be ashamed to express yourself... It's fun.

Keep Writing!

Review of The playground  
Review by bob county
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)


This reminds me of Huck Finn finding a dead man by the Mississippi .
Other boys started poking the body with sticks. Huck just stood there
and tried to surmise how the man died. Did he fall off a boat?
I like the pace of your tale and the detail in the appearance of the corpse.
We always slow down at traffic accidents.

Review of Lucid in the Sky  
Review by bob county
Rated: E | (5.0)


I think I have a hole in my pocket
or is it a poem?
What I gleam from this stream of Beatle mainia .
Is the pull of certain death as you plummet to the Earth.
I like that. I don't see any typos or grammar problems.
It made me wonder why Paul was so obsessed with
sky diving. Then, I thought about the Rolling Stones and
their near death experience in a hot air balloon.
Yeah, I can dig it.

This is a fun thread!

Is love a mental illness?
Hell, it depends on what your after.
There is an 18 year old girl in Florida ,
who wants to marry her father.
There is a man in Ohio , who has
9 wives.
And does this make you cringe?
Where do you draw the line?
I think your poem is asking what love is.
For many centuries it has been about a happy family.
But, that can get sketchy too.

I love your poem.
Keep writing!

Review of The End

There are some typos or maybe that's intentional.
Most contagious diseases are transmitted by contact.
It's a sad fact that simple sewage and water filtration can prevent
these outbreaks in poor countries.
Modern cities are more likely to have over dosed populations
with super viruses.

If you think back to how life began, we were viruses.

I like your style. Keep writing.

I had to chuckle. "I married one." you wrote about Catholics.
Having been raised in a strict Irish Catholic home, I thought Protestants were communists.
Then, I entered public school and got a dose of humanism.
Your jolly Nun sounds like fun, "Her chin danced" on her tight white collar.

This is a perfect piece of narration.

Keep Writing.

Leonard Cohen is a fantastic baritone, Hallelujah !
The Sisters of Mercy is another classic Cohen tome.
And without a doubt the Sisters do great charities .
My first encounter with a Nun was Sister Emeritus ..
She was awesome. It was a New Order in those days
and the Nuns were wearing casual dress with a habit.
Sister Emeritus was young and slender and made me
feel very happy about the opposite sex and guilty,

I have to revisit Leonard's crooning.

Thanks for the nostalgia.

Review of Islam in Malaysia  
Review by bob county
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)


Hmm..

Islam is the fulfillment of Judaism and Christianity according to Mohamed .
So, all the stoning of adulterers and genocidal war comes from the Jews Talmud
or Christian Old Testament. There are still conservative Jews , who practice Old Testament
Law; see the Hasidic culture and settlements in Israel. It's a hard choice to be a fundamentalist
Christian and condemn the tolerance of alternative lifestyles.

What is peculiar about your column is its neutrality.
Jesus said, "Either your are with me or against me."
There is no common ground between executing apostates and critical free thinking.
Oh, well ultimately unquestionable truth is decided on the battle field.
This holy war will kill every living creature.
The last great war will burn off the atmosphere and the oceans will boil.
But, is that what God wants?

I hope not.

Well, this is a lovely poem about the superego.
But, what or who is "I"?
Your poem described a pantheon of symbolism.
I am tormented by the meaning of the soul.
Are we biological machines ?
How do we prove the existence of the soul?
These are ancient questions.
But, the modern psychi is defined by science and Darwinian philosophy ..
It is not romantic or spiritual.
At what point did our ape ancestors see the world as sacred?
Does an ape have a soul?

Did I help?
My favorite color is red.
It is delicious ..

Review of Close Your Eyes  
Review by bob county

Well, there are no spelling errors..
The grammar is correct and the story
has a good suspense to it. I'm reminded
of the kids, who leapt off their parent's roof
because they thought they were Superman.
The actor had to make a special announcement
"Only Superman can fly." Throughout your tale
of drowning you mention your faith in God to
show how to swim.

Well, we shouldn't expect miracles ..
We should learn to swim, before diving.

Funny story.

Well, Merry Christ-Mass!


This X-Mass I've watched the Wrath of Khan
and Bad Santa. I watched Bill Nye try to convince
a Young Earther that the Earth is more then six
thousand years old... I wonder what Jesus would say
about anthropology and geology?

And I'm snacking on some pretzels.

When I read literature I am looking for amusing stories.
I want to be titilated .. A good read should be fast paced
and not preachy.. An erotic amusing tale will obsess you
and stay with you forever. Shocking thrillers are fun too.

Review of Flesh

Let me get this right.
You wanted to sell chameleons and
got porn pop ups?
Flies don't like cold. In the summer
you can discourage them with air conditioning.
Also, flies do not sniff. They have antenna on their
eyes that responds to certain airborne chemicals.
They don't like insense burnel..
Most insects don't like smoke.

The tale was a little hard to follow,
but, amusing.

I like to review. It's a way to help other writers and applaud
great writing.. As a recovering Irish Catholic schooled ascetic,
I know how difficult it is to promote yourself. It feels like bragging.
But, storytelling is just that.. The storyteller is building up their ego
as they build up their story.

So, lets here it for the hardworking writers!

Write on!

Review of Seven Sins : Envy  
Review by bob county

Vanity is a strong motive. I like the description of lipstick.
That is a strong image. There are too many stories in the
news about revenge killings directed at bullies.
Your tale builds to a cliff hanger. Is there a part 2?
I get a murderous vibe.

So, this was written as a script.
You need a character outline and more setting detail.
Give the reader an idea of the world your writing about.
There is gasoline that implies a modern Witch trial.

Sometimes, hysteria can be a Witch's ally ..
Only one confessed Witch was set free, during the Salem Witch Trials.
Titchiba was a Haitian slave and confessed Witch.
She bit the head off a chicken before her judges and threatened a curse on them and their children.
The judges set her free and order she be allowed to leave Salem unharassed.

There is scientific evidence of beta and alpha waves emitted from our brains ..
These frequencies can effect plants and animals.
A strong magnetic field can disrupt these brainwave patterns and cause insomnia as well as
mental dementia and suicidal depression.
This could be interpreted as black magic.

Review of An Equal End  
Review by bob county

Well, well, do you want anarchy?
The executive branch of government is balanced against the Senate and Congress
and judiciary.. Ultimately, we the people must form a more perfect union.
The ultimate power rest with the people.
A jury can decide against an unjust law. The northern states courts would not
enforce the slavery laws in the southern states and escaped slaves were given
asylum .. That was just.

Good writing!

Well, this is my idea on ghosts, they're residual memories.
Paranormal events that Abby experienced aren't that rare.
Many people have ghost stories, mostly, because of some
traumatic event in there lives... A spooky woods is a good
place to conjure ghosts and hob goblins ..

"Once again they returned to the river," sounds a little cliché.

Other than that I enjoyed your haunted tale.

Well metered.
We have three bridges here.
One is a major highway the other two
are kept for tourist ..
The parable of the bridge is an ancient one..
Zen uses the bridge as an example of the journey,
crossing the bridge is not as important as the journey.

So the student asks, "Where does the bridge lead?"

So passes the glory of this world..
Your tome, I assume is that life is pointless.
But, life moves like an arrow to its target.
And before you know it your arrow is spent.
I must confess I have regrets too..
A moments pleasure can lead to a lifetime of regret.

Have you considered archery?
The Zen archer believes the bow and arrow are lovers.
Once the arrow is released there is no turning back.

Review of Real Time  
Review by bob county
Rated: E | (3.5)

You reminded me of Roselia.
She was seventeen when she became pregnant.
She had been romanced by Ralf, a popular boy at
my high school. Rose liked to spend her time following
Ralf around. But he did not want the responsibility of
a child. She wrote poems about love and despair .

She had an abortion.

The other kids at school were cruel to her.
But, she got her diploma and is a bank manager.
I'm proud of Rose. I supported her choice and we
remain friends. Sometimes love is painful and can lead
to trouble , but that is our nature.+

Keep writing!
Your poems are inspiring.

Review of Shaman's Trance  
Review by bob county
Rated: E | (4.5)


What is fair? Saint Bernard was born at the castle of Fontains,
in Burgundy. He renounced the wealth of the Burgundy vinyards
to pursue a life of piety with the monks of Citeaux.
His younger brother was left to care for their elderly parents,
"You leave me earth, and keep heaven for yourself;
do you call that fair?"
Saint Bernard's fervor and miracles kindled the splendid armies
of Christendom and defeated the infidel. The saint died in 1153.
"If you desire to enter here, leave at the threshold the body
you have brought with you from the world; here there is room
only for your soul." the saint proclaimed to those who would
follow him.+

There in is the conflict between the spiritual and worldly realm ..
Your poem is a splendid example of this dementia.
I liked the your format and stream of consciousness.
Have you tried automatic writing? Keep a dream journal.
Do not feel shame in you ID.

Keep writing!
