Although not one of Crane's best poems, i have heard far worse. Also, um,
well...he's kind of really dead, so the whole insistance of gods eternal
love and forgivness, i think, mayhaps that ship has sailed. Seriously
though, nothing against christianity, but it is a bit of a rediculous
statement to say that you know god exists, as though you could show me some
undeniable tangible proof (which, by the way, if you have i would be most
curious to see it), you no more know that god exists than i know that he
doesnt. Neither of us will ever be able to prove the other one wrong, not
until we die anyways, and, if i end up burning for all of eternity you have
my permission to say "i told you so" and then point and laugh, cause,
really, ill have bigger fish to fry at that point. Last thing, i really
really love the typo, or im assuming it was a typo. The fact that god sent
is only Sin to save us, thats tight, cause supposedly he cant sin n' stuff.
So, did he like, um...knock Marry up, they did a little horizontal mombo.
Are you saying that god had premarital sex with a "virgin" that belonged to
another man, cause if you are, that would be awesome.
