on Jesus Around Your Neck (Final Version) by Wakeboarder20

Another criticism of Christian hypocricy, and fairly well stated. Ironically, one of Jesus' major complaints with the "church" of his day was hypocricy.

Fare price, as in a ticket to Heaven, is meant, I presume, as criticism of the church for wanting money for such passage. It's acommon theme, and not too well presented here. I'd rather see a juxteposition of "fare" and "fair."

Yes, I have been spoken to by such voices. A less cryptic title might dispell criticism.

I relate to scarce memories, ones that feel like they responded to fate. I don't believe in fate, but I know the feeling. I don't like the idea of "correct tastes." The Eiffel tower has an appealing shape, but it may not be a "correct taste" to everyone; if fact it is not.

How about "creatively spelled"?

Reads like a song. Call it a lyric and give it a tune.

Don’t “think twice about God or the Devil. We are fragments in a sea of ineffable words.”
I feel that way often. Sometimes I think it’s impossible to talk about God or the Devil without resorting to analogy or metaphor. Some say that if anthropomorphic language is all we have in these matters it becomes added evidence for their non-existence. I disagree but see their point.
Some good thoughts here, but could be more poetic, and at least called “prose poem.”

Oh, I don’t know. Say, for example, that a theologian’s work is to prove the existence of God, not banter about with unbelievers.

Well, Mr. Everlasting Godstopper, that’s a hoot of a name. What I am trying to convey in the part before “But:” is what a lot of theology tries to convey: a wonderful, loving God, an evil sinful world, and a means of reconciling the two. But it always fails when they find cancer cells among God’s creations. The second part says to forget all that and simply accept the universe as is—the atheist message. I call it The Pit’s Bottom because until a theist like me accepts the creation at its worst and attributes the bottom of the pit to God, she’s done for.

This piece of doggerel is in response to “Crappy” by Dr. Nick, DND, Doctor of Non-Divinity, Pastor of the Michigan Church of Atheism.

I don’t pretened to follow this; I suspect that you and your lover are the only ones who do. I do like some of the lines:
“Must we to Time's fall fall?”
“Yet go gently, never in haste. Deny not what you desire to taste. Then shall glee befall us.”
“daffodils” “bouquets”

It could be the end of a great collective work, of which mine is the Prologue, and the middle is all of Poemranker.

I wish you would enter discussion on whether these Jesus poems are satire or if you really like this stuff. If you mean it, then you've progressed about an inch backward from the Crusades.
