Bob Gotti

Congratulations to you Bob. You are on a mission to spread the word of Christ. Even if your poetry isn't any good, your faith is deep and it's more important to shove Christ's word in the faces of the sinning poets than to work on crafting good poems yourself. I'm sure you're doing a very effective job and have probably helped thousands on this site to see the light, to stop regarding biblical stories as unprovable fairytales, and to start praying to the Christian god in order to save themselves from ending up in the place where the guy with the pitchfork, horns, and pointy tail does his business.

Maria, you have every right to be cynical, but i have one point to make- Jesus didn't just speak of love, He did. He gave Himself, the ultimate sacrifice, because He loved us.

Can anyone measure up to that? Granted, Christians don't do all that we can to improve our society, but the best thing we can do is tell society what Jesus did for them. Society as a whole doesn't need reform, or welfare, or any handouts- they need Jesus.

Sorry to sound as if I'm preaching, but understand that I don't hate you or your standing at all, I'm more saying that you shouldn't judge Christianity for what you think is a lack of action.

Also, I have a problem with hypocrisy as much as anyone (if not more) and I can say that if I knew Mr. Gotti to be a hypocrite, I wouldn't care for his poetry. But as it is, I don't know what he does, only what he says, and I think that what he says is great stuff.

In love,

Bob, whatever anyone else might say, you have a gift. your poetry is very good, and I, for one, appreciate that you can write about our Lord and Saviour so well. keep fighting the good fight, brother.
