Grammarian, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

[TheGrammarian]

*Grin* I'm very glad to hear you say that, sapienturk.

[kunstinflammen]

I like that poem, and as for the creator lark.. when I was a theist, I didn't believe in satan because it didn't make sense but believed that god was both bad and good.

[TheGrammarian]

Very interesting. I guess you would have to believe God had both good and evil in him in he created Satan... But most theists don't acknowledge that.

[CousinoMacul]

The designer has a holy sense of humor.

[TheGrammarian]

Or "holey," rather. ;)

Hey can someone tell me what this poem means

Within the peculiar nature of beast lies love and compassion, but in between those factors lies hatred. In the miseries of the land are regret, lust, agony, and pain. Where the sun never shines and there’s always rain. But if you can find that silver dot in the sky, and bury your hatred and pride, you could be the death of Animosity

please help me out thanks

[Warwickcain]

Very good. Helpful, but I must say it's "fat and white". Thanks for this

My video response has three times as many views.

*cackles insanely*

[sonata1992]

I think it's perfectly possible. But at that level reason breaks down to meaning nothing.

[sonata1992]

Personally, I don't like dystheism. As a position, I find it makes too many assumptions about the nature of god to be useful...

[sonata1992]

Ahhh....I adore Frost :)
