I looked the word “fuck” up… not because I didn’t know what it meant, but

because, I think a lot of people really don’t get the connotations and

derogatory meaning most people feel about the word. It is not a nice

word. It is mainly used to degrade or upset someone.  Not to comfort.

It’s carnal, lustful…

 

I have thought about a poem that was written and posted and raved about. The

more I thought about it, the more sick my heart became. Not that the writer is not

a talented writer, but, because of the content. I really try to respect others views. In

this instance I wanted to explain why I was so offended.

 

I know many of you do not believe in Jesus. That is your choice and I can accept

that many may see him as a man made entity. Can’t you respect my feelings and

others who do believe in Jesus? We see Jesus as a Father figure and all of us are

his children. We believe his love is unconditional, as a parent for a child. Not a lover

or in a carnal way. So when you write of a sexual encounter with him, it feels incestuous

and debasing him to me.

 

It is not my intention to upset anyone and have not meant to rave. Just to explain. 

I want to write. I read for inspiration. I read for entertainment. I do not however, enjoy

reading how wonderful a piece is that has degraded and mocked something I cherish

and believe in.  Civility to one another goes a long way. I have felt compelled to write

something, not to criticize or cause debate. Hopefully to bring a little enlightenment on

a very touchy subject.

 

Always sincere,

Tonya
