Betrayed By Faith

^^^
What I'm doin...

Yep

The Atheist
The only man upstairs is the crackhead on the third floor...
This life is bad enough... Why would I even hope for more...
Whats in store for me? Answer.. death and thats it....
Why spend life in fear of something that dont exist...
Religion? Bullshit... how dare they lie to me...
Existence is explained not by a book but evolution theories...
So I live life to the fullest... forget sins and commendments...
Lust and greed bad? Well then fuck a savior god damnit...
Nobody planned it... Life is just a series of events to enjoy...
So forget your holy book... Implausable... A virgin had a boy?....
Death comes near me... Life lived in fear of finality...
Its almost as if my lack of faith betrayed the life in me..


The Religious Person
Sundays here... Time for worship and reflection...
Heathons all around... Wishing they could be free of sins...
Life begins... And ends... With one theme... God...
May not be the perfect sheep yet... but lord we work hard...
I pray for atheists... And hope they will realize before its too late...
That their fate... Is to spend eternity at the gate...
Commandments are laws of life... Followed at all cost...
For I've missed nothing and without God I'm lost...
Sex, , cursing and other sins bring nothing but sorrow...
Why live for today
when the better part of existence extends past tomorrow...
Dying days around the corner... faith helps but worries me...
I missed so many things in life... Have my beliefs betrayed me?...


The Enlightened
Is there a God? Maybe... But something beyond us must exist...
Thoughts persist.. But live my life so nothings missed...
Dogma had it right... we should all question what we're told...
Maybe then we wont live in fear when we get old...
The Bible's sold? How is that for hypocracy....
Church is a chore? There is no celebration of faith to me...
Sin but repent... Not living in fear... See life as a blessing...
Why live in fear of God? Or the opposite... both left stressing...
I'd rather take it as it comes.. No dreading my judgement day...
Knowing that a real Father would not turn thinkers away....
Sheep are herded and killed... Why would I buy into that...
No excess of faith here... Nor is it something that I lack...
So even in death I will live on... Through original thought I'll be saved...
If I dont expect anything in particular... How can I be betrayed?




Note: This was a little different type style for me...
Lets see how it turned out...
Good Luck Aus

I Think Chrit Took This One.
Auspicious Tried To Use The Feel Sorry For Me For The Vote Approach.
I've Used It Before Too. But Chrit Won It By The Skill In His Writing.
And The Expertise Shown With The 3 Different Points Of View.
Chrit Is Really Elevating As A Topical Writer and Auspicious's Last Couple
Of Verses Have Had The Same Kind Of Approach., But Yea Chrit.
Came Strong, Hard, And To The Point, And I Loved His Verse.

Vote Chrit

Deffinately A Nice Topic...By Both

Chrit= had his topic laid out good...
the whole verse was strong...........
you were persistant with flow.........
heart....and expression of the people...
nicely done...goodmind story goin on

Aus= this sounded like a movie...
it was told like you could see it happen...
it was just that strong...true stories is what it's about...
i hafta go wit aus...his story was better...
fealt that shit more...great flow....
you've got some of the best around...

vote=aus

Sureal.. I Basically Am A Story Teller..
Not Much On Facts And What Not...
So They All Have The Same Kind Of Approach..
And I Just Met With His Sister The Other Day
And Got Reminded Of Him.. Sorry If Its
A Crime To Do That.. Really Didn't Want
A "Feel Bad For Me Win".. My Mind Was
Just Blank With Nuthing But Him.. So Yeah..

^^^

Really now...
Thats just weak

Dont try to explain yourself...
Just sit back and takes votes as they come

Chrit=Using 3 points of view in your piece, really showed more talent than any limitations. It Shows how your expanding your writing skills. The atheist part was, to me, the strongest part in the piece. Kept it nice and strong, consistent throughout.

Auspicious: You came out straight forward. Didn't try anything new, kept with the formula, but it worked out for you. You had a strong piece here, it may not have been as creative as Chrit's but it had some stronger points in it then the new approach.

With that said though, Auspicious almost took this one. The topic got a bit too caught up in itself, and you lose any interest by the end of your first verse. Also your hooks weakened it. Chrit put out 3 consistent verses, which had no major weaknesses, except for the fact his flow was too simple and needed a bit more complexity.
Nice battle and big ups to both...
Vote-Chrit.

Chrit - I enjoyed your piece alot.....the 3 points of view were nice, this is the first topical i seen from you and i think you did a good job....

Aus - You had a nice piece, you had a nice story....but your verse, never really appealed to me.....some things seemed forced

So thats why chrit got it

Chrit....pretty nice piece from you...i might have expected more but you had easy flow along with a good structure...I wouldnt say magnificient for a championship post but good.

Aus...Honestly theres no such thing as a sympathy WIN!!!!Anyone can write a suck piece about someone that died and lose...especially when it comes to the internet...Your piece was really good man..structure on point...creative and your flow was nice....Congrats im giving you the win...

vote=Aus
