Who Is God? Comments

Dear Poetry Hound Sir, God created every living creature and man too (in His semblance, with a soul) . If there is no reward or punishment even after death, why should some gloat in their ill-found wealth and sins while other DIE daily in poverty and sickness and torment from the hands of more powerful men? God will punish those who do not live a useful life on earth according to his abilities and circumstances. regards, Dr John Celes

You ask the age-old questions in your first two stanzas. Anyone who ponders the origins or meaning of life has to wonder about the existence of an underlying order or intelligence. But that's different from believing there's someone who's going to punish you after you're dead. That's where you typically lose me, John.
