I am an Atheist but not such an arrogant and as stagnant as the one that you described. I found your poem beautiful though. :) UNICORNS DO NOT EXIST! hahaha! XD
My individual mindset is live and let live. I cant stand when people constantly try to trash others for their believes. If you believe then may god bring you peace and love. And if you dont then more power to you. Cant we just leave each other alone and get along?
You said you don't go off science, you go off feelings? Very ignorant thing to say, don't you think?
You "feel" that God is real. Yeah, that's evidence of god's existence! Btw, which god are you referring to? Allah, Yahweh, Buddha, Vishnu, Thor, Jesus etc?
@KelzLife your quite vacuous, if your gonna say that he is wrong at least get something correct...allow me to elucidate on this, Allah means God idiot, and Buddah is not a god , thor is a made up superhero hhahahah dont u know anything about history and religion, so if ur gonna say this against religion and GOD at least now wht u are talking about haha....and by the way science is a creation from GOD
@RottingCorpse This is gonna sound corny to a non-believer. But, believers will hear me loud and clear when I say it. Jesus is the truth. To Christians truth IS the most important thing.
@Poetri Thanks so much Poetri. You're so right, they do talk about God more than us. Lol your video has more than 3,000 views....its legit! Yeah but its funny same thing happened, an Atheist saw my status' about Jesus and next thing I knew I got a message filled with youtube videos. I didnt know how to reply except with feelings. But God in all his wisdom already gave us the guideline for this situation...Matthew 5:11 and Matthew 24:9-13. Endure to the end. Thanks, great poems! Always.
@blackSoultan. I wrote you this big long ole reply only to wake up this morning to find out it didn't post! Ughh. Can't remember exactly what I said, but I'm sure it said similar to how much I agree. Netflix is the bomb. And so is that movie.
@Sollflower I love your screen name. And thanks a million for the wonderful encouragement. It never hurts to hear a smile or two in the comments. I appreciate you.
For any non-believers out there who are looking for a more in depth video to prove or disprove an existence of a Savior, Netflix the film "A Case for Christ". If you don't have Netflix, get it and look for the film, along with the episode of Bones that features our very own Poetri Smith.
@BlackSoultan Why wouldn't I care? Many Christians I run into use this argument that their god and/or religion makes them feel comfort, yet that has absolutely nothing to do with the truth. And as an Atheist, truth is the most important.
@RottingCorpse100 How is he being judgmental? I am pretty objective and it appears that he is merely stating the facts as he sees them. We are all aware of the stereotypes, many of which are true. I am aware that the truth hurts. However, the truth will also make you free.
@qqookkoohh Pretty sure that's what he was doing. Why does it bother you for a Tony Award winning poet to post a video of his poem? That's what he does, he posts videos expressing his point of view on the issue. Make a poem, and he'll let you post it. He's that kind of a dude.
@BlackSoultan issue ? what issue might that be ? that atheists have their own beliefs please man ! i watched this poem because i like the message he spreads with or without his beliefs , im an atheist and i feel attacked , im blesses with a wife and beautifull kids and a career , being an atheist does not make me less then , and thats what came over to me that being said keep doing what your doing
@babiemix Thank you so much for the "amazing" calling. lol. I appreciate it more than you know. It allows me to keep thinking that I am doing SOME THINGS right.
Isn't it ironic how the religion that enslaved Africans, is now the dominating philisophical force in our community. I mean, I'm 16 half black half white and atheist. I used to be a Christian untill i did research and i looked around for myself. And one of the quotes that influnced me deeply is "Look around at the mythologies and past religions that surround you, know compare their gods to the god that bounds you, and you'll see why I'm an Atheist." or something like that lol.
@BigBis1337 People can twist and contort the word of the Lord and call it God's word, and God's will. I can not change your mind, God will not even make you change your mind so who am I to try? Just know that just because people call themselves soldiers of the Lord means nothing if they try to change His doctrine. You know a tree by its fruit in the same way that you know the spirit by the fruit of the spirit. May God be with you. <3
@chrissy11217 Well the same could be said for you. You have most likely twisted the word of god around several times in the formation of your own morality. I highly doubt you believe in slavery, but your god does. I also doubt you would put down your spouse (assuming your a guy) or complete every whim (assumming your a girl). Your god is a malice tyrant no questions asked, always has always will be. But I appreciate your kind nature, you don't need god to be good, you're a natural.
@BigBis1337 While I disagree with you. I do ask that God heals your heart from all that pain inside of you. You seem to be so jaded. And no, if I were a guy if would not put her down. As well I would not be able to complete every whim. But any parent understands that for your child, you provide discipline and structure. You may not be able to give a child everything they want but you give them what they need. It is foolish for a child to expect the world, suns, stars, moons, and planets from
Their parents.. Especially if they are not behaving in accordance to the rules. God is no tyrant, but indeed he does have a wrath, like a parent would, he does not discriminate amongst His children. Only tries to draw them closer to Him with His love. Thank you for appreciating my kind nature. And no, I do not need God to be good. Any one can be good and have good intentions. I CHOOSE HIM. I CHOOSE GOD. And time and time again I may mess up, but I thank God for His grace and mercy. I hope you
Your unicorn analogy is stupid. The reason the term atheists exist is because maby people believe in gods. If there were a ton of people who believed in unicorns went around converting more believers and hindering scientific progress you can bet your ass you would find aunicornists.
Only the ignorant would find that analogy comparable. Judging from the reaction of the audience that seems to be near all of them.
sadly, most religious people lapse and choose to pass their judgement on atheists applying the frivolous, belligerent god hater type preconception (as described in this story) to all of them.
We just choose to scrutinize what we see, search for information theoretically&empirically and stay open to changes while others suggest that they've already figured it out, gather followers and remain stiff.
However often people refer you to youtube suggesting that there is no god , you cannot deny the validity of (most of) their claims.
They choose to redirect you to youtube for the simple reason that it is one of the most popular platforms to convey visual information..
All cleverly used to portray the atheist as conspiratorial along with his smug and apparent omniscience instead of showing the conversational and prudent atheists cognisant of the state of the world.
god dosnt give us diseases, he gave us the free will to choose from right or wrong,it is our sins that cause all these illnesses and violence around the world,but if you repent and look for him he's always there to clean up the mess and make things right...remember everything happens for a reason and if you open your heart to god and ask him for answers without testing him he'll reveal the truth to your heart cause he is the way the truth and the light
@MrDeivy78 thank you i needed that. Not in the way as in i didnt believe in god and now i do, but in a way to clarify my perspective in why are there diseases. I have alot of athiest friends and a question like that always pops up. Now i have an answer(not to them) but to myself..anyway god bless
when my life is at war and full of commotions I turn to the sky and get on my knees a calm comes over me like a summer night breeze".. APPAULD... Love this...!! God Bless
I appreciate your inspirational word. People want to place God in a box and say that if he doesn't respond exactly the way I want him to then he isn't real. But God transcends our ontological nature and for those who don't believe in his existence that's fine but that doesn't negate the fact that those who believe have been fortunate to have an experience with the Divine that holds us in the midst of heartache and disappointment. Keep sharing your experience! I love your poetry...Be Blessed
ok nice poem. did u ask god to heal ur wife? if u did did he heal her? not trying to be mean but if ur god is real he should be able to bet ms. right?and y give ur wife ms in the first place? some loving god that is.
@dimichi13 Hey. good question! If you email me I would love to talk to you more in detail about my GOD and my wife's MS. Once I tell you and you still have your opinion, that is fine, but I would at least like to explain to you why GOD allows certain things to happen. So, if you like, you can email me at poetri@poetri.com. Either way have a wonderful and blessed day. I hope to hear from you soon.
@Poetri i hear u but when u or any one gets sick we all turn to man made stuff to heal ourselfs we can talk god stuff but we live in a true world. we dont pray headaches away we take aspirin. we get shot its not god removing the bullets its man. god didnt make a single pill. but we take them and have faith that thay work. u see what happens when we only ask god to heal. nothing. u run as fast as the man can drive a man made thing to take u to other men to heal u.
@dimichi13 I want to thank you for engaging me in this conversation. You are not rude or irate...we are just discussing. And that is cool to me. So, thank you. Secondly, I never turn to medicine to cure my ails. Cuase Western Medicine hardly cures anything. They mask the problem and give you side effects so that you have to take more medicine to mask more ailments. My particular family happens to not use this kind of medicine 95 percent of the time.
@dimichi13 Instead, we tend to lean on eating natural and organic foods (Which were made by GOD) and take Natural Herbs (Which were also put on this earth from GOD). I have learned that these cure me faster and better than any medicine. For example, I hardly get colds or the flu, cause I take GOLDEN SEAL and a gang of Vitamin C and that usually wipes that mug right off. But, that is another poem. I could talk for days about the foods we manufacture and the Natural foods that God makes.
@dimichi13 Lastly, my GOD has healed me several times in several different ways. Me and my wife. But, if GOD took away every ailment and made every situation right, then I would believe in HIM for what HE does for me and not who HE is. Not too mention, that we live in a fallen world. This world is going to hell, I am not living for this world, I am living for the Heaven...the place I will go after I leave here. Thank you for reading and listening. Talk to you soon.
@dimichi13 your comment just made me think about someone's observation that people without kids are the ones who feel the need to tell parents how to raise their kids, making themselves, though inexperienced, the experts! Your comments indicate you believe that God should be able to do such and such and you belive that He should be loving, yet you don't believe in Him. Are you sure you don't believe? Without an experience with God so how can you make such claims about Him?
@dimichi13 God gave his wife MS &he gave us the power to heal her so that ppl lik u can see how the Lord works. unfortunately the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. there are plenty of souls 2 be saved & lives 2 b changed but there are far 2 few Christians w/ enough faith 2 perform a miracle. alot of christians have so much faith in faith tht they hav no faith in God. but as my momma used 2 say, Baby when u get 2 heaven just ask God y but i'm sure if u make it in it wont even matter
Hey Poetri, Justing taking the time to state again that I love your poems. I was truly moved by this one. Happy new year to you and your family...and GOD bless you!
I feel like you need someone to say "hello", believe it or not, you're wanted". No judgments. No arguments. Just love and acceptance. Have a blessed day.
This was an amazing piece. You have outdone yourself yet again. @Sykeo- Thank you again for allowing us to see through Poetri's answer to your ignorance why he is so near and dear to our hearts.
@TheSpotwithParadyme and @adrianneDN...lol...you guys are great! I guess you don't mess with Poetri or I will stick my homies on you. lol. Thank you so much fo rthe kind words. It is words like these that put smiles over ignorance. As you may know, I am not against people that don't agree with me (I am down with discussing) but when you call names and lies on the person...well..that is just not my game. I thank you so much for your support.
@sykeo123 hahahaha. I wasn't even gonna comment, but then I just couldn't help myself just so I could laugh at you. You don't even know me and you make that assumption off of one poem, one video. Oh, refresh my memory one more time. Who called me a uneducated inbred? And oops, you are wrong. I did finish high school. Hahahahaha. Yea...I had to comment just to laugh. Have a wonderful and blessed day.
before you start throwing words that you don't know around like "ignorant" It would be smart of you to look up the definition first and then you might realize you might actually be the poster child of that word. But I took it upon myself to hand you the definition: 1. Lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated.
2. Lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about something in particular.
You dont know this man but claims he didnt finish H.S...?
Also.. you kiiiinda acused him of being an inbred. See pure ignorance!
Just becuase you dont believe in something or someone doesnt make them go away. I'm pretty sure with all ur might you'd like that to be the case but its not.
LOL and to assume he would worship a false God, Thor. truely puts u on the uneducated side. See, bcz God created ALL and this false God Thor got credit for lightning..So for everything God created u would think he worships a Million other false Gods??HAHA
It's funny that I almost know this poem by heart. I love this poem like I love ALL your poems. You are just so AMAZING. I know you know that I know that for a FACT! :-) Never stop blessing the world with your healing. Yes, it's HEALING. I told you that last night and we kind of laughed it off and you made the statement out to be a joke, but I was serious. Because of you and the love you show me and pride you take in me, makes it easy to stand proud and keep my head up in all situations. Eve
I strongly disagree with you about the atheist thing, not all of us thrive on attention. But I still love all of your poems. Specially monsters. Oh and is that Kimya Dawson behind you?
it's great that you could tell him about god from your personal experience, but science and god are not mutually exclusive. If what we believe is true, than it should hold true and have evidence in every aspect: in literature,in history,in science and in our spirits.
Love love love it! God is real for those of you who still don't believe. All you have to do is pick up His Word, The Holy Bible and you will see everything it speaks of happening in the world. Prophesies are coming through, the things we desire when we pray we receive them and all the little things in this life have but one explanation, God.
In fairness. There arent exactly a bunch of weirdos walking around trying to convince you that if you dont believe in their Unicorn God you're going to burn in Unicorn hell and get anally raped by one of the unicorn horns.
But Poetri is cool with me. Even though he's a grown man that thinks there's an invisible man in the sky who loves him and wants to be his friend LOL
poetri: your little girls are cuter than cute. you and juren have much to be happy for. i see you as a brother who always walks the walk, even when the path is rocky. although we've never met, i feel as if i know you. i'm blackrose from your black web portal days (remember "love stinks"?) i'm also an atheist. there's a beauty in your spirit that is undeniable and tho our beliefs differ greatly, our feelings for them are equally strong. keep being love, po'. the world needs you. peace.
I am an Atheist but not such an arrogant and as stagnant as the one that you described. I found your poem beautiful though. :) UNICORNS DO NOT EXIST! hahaha! XD

Your comments indicate you believe that God should be able to do such and such and you belive that He should be loving, yet you don't believe in Him. Are you sure you don't believe? Without an experience with God so how can you make such claims about Him?

@dimichi13 God gave his wife MS &he gave us the power to heal her so that ppl lik u can see how the Lord works. unfortunately the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. there are plenty of souls 2 be saved & lives 2 b changed but there are far 2 few Christians w/ enough faith 2 perform a miracle. alot of christians have so much faith in faith tht they hav no faith in God. but as my momma used 2 say, Baby when u get 2 heaven just ask God y but i'm sure if u make it in it wont even matter

I feel like you need someone to say "hello", believe it or not, you're wanted". No judgments. No arguments. Just love and acceptance. Have a blessed day.

So that makes you a qualified scientist to talk on subject matter as a expert?

@TheSpotwithParadyme and @adrianneDN...lol...you guys are great! I guess you don't mess with Poetri or I will stick my homies on you. lol. Thank you so much fo rthe kind words. It is words like these that put smiles over ignorance. As you may know, I am not against people that don't agree with me (I am down with discussing) but when you call names and lies on the person...well..that is just not my game. I thank you so much for your support.

@Poetri
and you wonder why people call you a ignorant uneducated inbred?
maybe if you actually finished high school you could talk.
You think gawd makes lightning huh...
So you worship thor?
sykeo123 1 year ago
@sykeo123 hahahaha. I wasn't even gonna comment, but then I just couldn't help myself just so I could laugh at you. You don't even know me and you make that assumption off of one poem, one video. Oh, refresh my memory one more time. Who called me a uneducated inbred? And oops, you are wrong. I did finish high school. Hahahahaha. Yea...I had to comment just to laugh. Have a wonderful and blessed day.

@sykeo123
before you start throwing words that you don't know around like "ignorant" It would be smart of you to look up the definition first and then you might realize you might actually be the poster child of that word. But I took it upon myself to hand you the definition: 1. Lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated.
2. Lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about something in particular.
You dont know this man but claims he didnt finish H.S...?

Also.. you kiiiinda acused him of being an inbred. See pure ignorance!
Just becuase you dont believe in something or someone doesnt make them go away. I'm pretty sure with all ur might you'd like that to be the case but its not.
LOL and to assume he would worship a false God, Thor. truely puts u on the uneducated side. See, bcz God created ALL and this false God Thor got credit for lightning..So for everything God created u would think he worships a Million other false Gods??HAHA

It's funny that I almost know this poem by heart. I love this poem like I love ALL your poems. You are just so AMAZING. I know you know that I know that for a FACT! :-) Never stop blessing the world with your healing. Yes, it's HEALING. I told you that last night and we kind of laughed it off and you made the statement out to be a joke, but I was serious. Because of you and the love you show me and pride you take in me, makes it easy to stand proud and keep my head up in all situations. Eve

I strongly disagree with you about the atheist thing, not all of us thrive on attention. But I still love all of your poems. Specially monsters. Oh and is that Kimya Dawson behind you?

You never disappoint. Great work, keep the faith as so many of us forget why we call on God as if we aren't passing the spirit with the stories.

Poetri I love your work. I particularly enjoyed "Monsters"
It is nice to see Art and Truth coexist seemingly so effortlessly in your work.
Much Love,

it's great that you could tell him about god from your personal experience, but science and god are not mutually exclusive. If what we believe is true, than it should hold true and have evidence in every aspect: in literature,in history,in science and in our spirits.
god bless.

How can you say that atheists talk more about god than christians? The US is one of the most religious industrialized nations.

Love love love it! God is real for those of you who still don't believe. All you have to do is pick up His Word, The Holy Bible and you will see everything it speaks of happening in the world. Prophesies are coming through, the things we desire when we pray we receive them and all the little things in this life have but one explanation, God.

In fairness. There arent exactly a bunch of weirdos walking around trying to convince you that if you dont believe in their Unicorn God you're going to burn in Unicorn hell and get anally raped by one of the unicorn horns.
But Poetri is cool with me. Even though he's a grown man that thinks there's an invisible man in the sky who loves him and wants to be his friend LOL

poetri: your little girls are cuter than cute. you and juren have much to be happy for. i see you as a brother who always walks the walk, even when the path is rocky. although we've never met, i feel as if i know you. i'm blackrose from your black web portal days (remember "love stinks"?) i'm also an atheist. there's a beauty in your spirit that is undeniable and tho our beliefs differ greatly, our feelings for them are equally strong. keep being love, po'. the world needs you. peace.
