This really cought my attention

[Steve]

For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints
He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints

You misinterpreted it. Scenes flashed before him. Each scene had two sets of footprints. When he reached the END, he looked back (saw the whole journey instead of a collection of scenes) and noticed in many parts there was only one set.

 

[Raziaar]

that story is a load of piss that contradicts itself and has no meaning at all anyway [afaicsa].

Heh. No wonder why I never questioned why I didn't respect you. Because you're an idiot. lol

It has beauty that is aside from religion. Its very poetic.

 

[mabufo]

It's not poetic... it sounds like one of those stupid chain letters that circles around AOL email addresses.

I don't see why this is so meaningful to you guys, really. Enlighten me.

 

[Ikerous]

Aw, so pretty! ::Wipes away tear::

If i ever got to talk to God i'd screw it up.
I'd end up hitting on him and he'd send me to hell for being so dang gay
I phear judgement day.

I'd try, but you don't seem to be a very receptive person. Naw, dude, this has been around long before chain letters. Maybe if you'd get off your high horse for a little while you'd be able to recognize a nice piece of prose when you see it. Okay, I'm done.

Amen! Oh wait... err. I mean. DAMN STRAIGHT!

I am saying.. that the piece of 'prose' as you call it (I call it mindless babble - but whatever).... has no real meaning to me whatsoever. I don't find it uplifting, nice, or satisfying in any way. I do not see what is so damn special about it. What the piece is trying to communicate to the reader is silly. So I am asking you - since you seem to think of it as all those things above... To prove your point. Prove to me that it is those things.. give some reason why I should say yay, I love jesus and dance all around.

I don't love jesus. and I don't want some musty old book that was written 2000 years ago to run my life. I don't believe in what you believe... so I think you shoudl get off your high horse, and respect other peoples opinions. After all the original post did say to bring an umbrella for the flame fest.

Wow...just...wow. I bet you get all the chicks. I mean, you're such a big man. I'm amazed you can walk around with that monster of a penis slapping into everything. :|

I'm glad you have so much to add to the conversation Maui...

Oh! You think I'm a Christian! I see. Well, I'm very sorry, but you're mistaken. I'm barely a deist. I just think it's a nice piece. It makes me feel good. What do you want me to prove? That I like it?

 

[NeonSpyder]

Jesus saves... the rest of you take damage.





(and the poem thingy is quite nice, for poetic nature)

Nearly all the people praising this writing are NON religious. Or oppose religion. That doesn't stop them from admiring the piece.

Who's on the high horse now...

Who's on the high horse now...

Ouch.

...although I don't really see how I'm saying I'm above anything. But okay.

 

[Raziaar]

Oh well. Lets ignore him. He was obviously created simply for this topic.

Yeah. Damn robots. I don't know why the scientists MAKE them...

 

[mabufo]

Re read your post (the one I quoted)... then reread the post you just posted...

I feel that I may be well, I don't know I guess I'm poisoning your thread.. PM me if you want to sling more shit I guess.. no need to turn this into a bigger 'top that post, asshole' type of thing.

EDIT: The post you just posted... I am refering to this: '...although I don't really see how I'm saying I'm above anything. But okay.'

 

[Reaktor4]

You misinterpreted it. Scenes flashed before him. Each scene had two sets of footprints.

so the footprints flashed too/
it doesnt say if he saw all the scenes or not when he was walking.

When he reached the END, he looked back (saw the whole journey instead of a collection of scenes) and noticed in many parts there was only one set.

it doesnt say or even imply that more appeared when he got to the end. 'he looked back at the footprints in the sand' would suggest that he had already seen them.

ps. my shift keys are typing things and opening programs and doing all sorts of other random shit when i press them so cant use them

Heh. No wonder why I never questioned why I didn't respect you. Because you're an idiot. lol

**** you

Hmm, I didnt see Jesus anywhere in there. And im Jewish so Jesus is something I easily spot and make fun of (hehe :flame: ) You dont have to believe in God to like it, just like you dont have to be in love to like a rock and roll song (most of em are about love). Also that quote is not in that old book that DOESNT run anyones lives but you obviously dont know what that book is, nor have you read any of it, nor are you smart enough to understand what its purpose is. So I wont even bother trying to explain that to you, but if you insist, I will.

By the way I love this poem/story/whatever it is. It makes me feel good.

 

[Tr0n]

Guys it's just a god damn poem...if you don't like it then go kill yourselves...ether that or don't read it at all.

 

[Danimal]

Nicely put, Tr0n.
