Jack is a Satanist. Nancy is a Christian
by Debra Rose (Age: 21)
copyright 09-20-2003


Age Rating: 13 to 127

 
Jack is a Satanist.

“Why do you frown on me so?
Do you think my soul lost to the eternal light?
What if I told you I found my solace,
In the darkest of the corners, hiding in the center,
Placed on the top point,
Of a pentagram?
I feel so calm and at peace there,
My soul enlightened, magick flowing through,
Brings tears to my eyes,
A peace in my heart as my fingers buzz with the feel,
Blue orbs of energy, warm and soothing,
Powerful and rising.
I was a sinner in your church.
A sinner for using power.
For using magick.
For using basic human belief.
Do you expect me to abandon myself and what I think is right?
To flow into your mold of your perfect god?”

Nancy is a Christian.

“Fool! To eternal hell you shall be damned,
For god is the one and the true.
You say your peace is felt in the sin of the devil,
The point of the master of lies.
What have you found is a blind fold over your eyes,
Hiding you from the truth,
The hell you’ve lowered yourself into.
There is no peace, no happiness you will find,
It is a trick to get your soul,
To capture you in his intricate web.
Your magick is the soul of Satan,
Possessing you to do his evil deeds!
But still you can be saved by the holy light!
Your soul is not forever lost!
And never did we expect you to abandon yourself,
But instead to repent for your sins,
And correct yourself.
Abandon only that which is not righteous,
And join the Lord in his eternal paradise.”

Jack is a Satanist.

“Abandon what is not righteous?
To abandon that would be to abandon myself!
The feel of power and magick in my blood has always been there!
But given by Satan?
Then I shall thank him!
Who are you to press upon what is right and wrong?
Was it not Jesus who said ‘thee who has not sinned shall cast the first stone?’
You have sinned, probably more than I!
So keep you judgments,
Put down your stones,
And let me continue on my ‘corrupted way’.
Alone.”

Nancy is a Christian

“Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
And you have proven to be a witch.
And my judgments are that of gods, not of mine,
Written in the holy book we worship.”

Jack is a Satanist.

“Not a witch, a warlock (I’m not a woman),
And have I not proven less?
No warlock, nor witch, nor sinner am I,
But a man of power, wishing to be alone.
Let me be! I don’t want to hear your preaching.
Just let me go on my way.”

Nancy is a Christian

“Mayhap one day salvation you shall find.
Goodbye dear Jack. May the Lord guide your way.”

Jack is a Satanist.

“Mayhap one day the truth will light your eyes.
Goodbye dear Nancy. May the Devil see your path.”





Answer me this

Why is it a sin to learn of other religions? Isn't that, in the minds of all true philosophers, the sign of the truly ignorant? Those who cannot ponder an idea without accepting it? Why is understanding the basis of a religion that's considered sinful, bad, when those believe in that religion must understand the "right one". Are we really that shallow? Or are people afraid their own belief's will be destroyed?

I'm very glad to see someone can write about this subject in such a way. You don't assault either religion, much like the handful of easily offended twits who left irate comments here seem to think. The focus here isn't on the religious sects themselves but on the individuals' inability to cope with one another because of their beliefs. Jack could be Buddhist and Nancy could be a Scientologist. It doesn't make any difference. Both are simply too pigheaded and self-righteous to really listen to each other. This isn't a stereotype. It's just an example of two extremes butting heads; black and white when they refuse to make gray (as pretentious as that sounds), and I'm sorry to say the problem of people's inability to accept one another does exist, and it does exist to this extreme degree. More often than we may like to admit.

I hope you don't think all us Christians are like that!!! I think that Christians should learn of other religions, to know who we are trying to befriend and who we are trying to lift up. How can you help someone with a burden you don't know or recognize? You can't. I admit to thinking Satanism and magick are sins. I also think that homosexuality is a sin, and that lying is a sin. But you know what? I think that lying is a sin, yet i still lie to my parents. It's human nature. I am just as guilty as anyone, all sins are equal, from murder to stealing a quarter from your sibling. So please don't feel like we are all intolerant-- Jesus wasn't, and neither am I. As a matter of fact, the only time Jesus calls down the wrath of Heaven is upon people in the church! Hah! Still, I luv ya girl, and this is well written. I hope I can make you look at me and my God a little more hopefully now, not just as a bunch of Bible-thumpers. <3 <3 Andie Jeanette

I myself have no religon. I think that it is used so that people can cope with death and have something to act and believe on. I'm glad you express the fact that people think that the one religion they believe in the THE ONE. Some people aren't open minded enough to see that. If I had to choose a religion for me it would either be Wicca or Agnostic. I feel more comfertable beliving that a womans running the show up there ( no offence). Truly, I don't know if there is anything "up there" or "down there". I'm living here and now and that is all that matters to me. Where I go after death, I really don't care.

Great work on this Debra...perfect 10

good......very controvercial

I am a christian and I did not read into this poem as being sarcastic toward Christians. You never praised or disreqarded either religion. You simply showed both sides to me is all. I know which side I stand on and have no fear of viewing the other. Did I miss something because if sarcasm was intended it missed its mark with me, and I am a Christian as I said before. Regardless the poem is well written and recives a high score
from me and thats being fair and honest and My Christiann God won't judge me for this.
