In fire and flood
Or untimely death by dread disease
We sometimes wonder “What of God? ”

Very nicely phrased. I think that living means always pursuing the answers to the questions we keep on asking.
The problem of evil clearly stated. Perhaps there are multiple Gods; some of which are good and some evil. I think when people talk of Satan or the Devil they are really talking polytheism even if they recite the Nicene creed.
I agree - read my poem 'Compassion'. Makes you wonder - but I guess it's for God to know and for us to learn the lesson. Linda
Lovely to read and great subject. For those of us who are not blessed/cursed with unerring faith, this just says it all. Hugs Anna xxx
I'm not a churchie person re: God and stuff. But a very good poem. Liz.
your poem was a good technique and it´s true what you wrotte.... i used to ask the same question, but know i know why there´s pain and sorrow and poberty for many young and inocent people..... have you heard that God it´s saint and we are all sinners? ? well sin (huge sin like killing someone and 'small' sins, like telling a lie or gossiping) they all have consequences, so pain and poberty is the consequence of ona men´s sin (desobedience: Adam) and our own sins......
Good one peter. I sometimes ask the same question too, , . Stuff like that, , , makes me a lill skeptic on God's existence.
Nice thought... Sometimes occurs to me. Guess I'm not THAT weird then...
I don't know a soul who hasn't asked these questions. Brilliantly done as usual Peter. Gypsy
we've all shared this process with Epicurus at some stage, Peter. good work.
Your poem is beautilf and reflexive! I guess that neither God knows what he can does with his own liberty. He is eternal, but sometimes, due to the world's happenings, he is more confuse than us humans beings.
