More From Edgar Allan Poe

God is alpha and omega in the great world: endeavor to make him so in the little world; make him thy evening epilogue and thy morning prologue; practice to make him thy last thought at night when thou sleepest, and thy first thought in the morning when thou awakest; so shall thy fancy be sanctified in the night, and thy understanding rectified in the day; so shall thy rest be peaceful, thy labors prosperous, thy life pious, and thy death glorious.

Is it thy will, thy image should keep open my heavy eyelids to the weary night? dost thou desire my slumbers should be broken, while shadows like to thee do mock my sight? is it thy spirit that thou send'st from thee so far from home into my deeds to pry, to find out shames and idle hours in me, the scope and tenor of thy jealousy? o, no! thy love, though much, is not so great: it is my love that keeps mine eye awake: mine own true love that doth my rest defeat, to play the watchman ever for thy sake: for thee watch i, whilst thou dost wake elsewhere, from me far off, with others all too near.

If thy faith have no doubts, thou has just cause to doubt thy faith; and if thy doubts have no hope, thou hast just reason to fear despair; when therefore thy doubts shall exercise thy faith, keep thy hopes firm to qualify thy doubts; so shall thy faith be secured from doubts; so shall thy doubts be preserved from despair.

Peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment; and then, if thou endure it well, god shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes. thy friends do stand by thee...' -jesus the christ

Ecclesiastes names thee almighty, the maccabees name thee creator, the epistle to the ephesians names thee liberty, baruch names thee immensity, the psalms name thee wisdom and truth, john names thee light, the book of kings names thee lord, exodus names thee providence, leviticus sanctity, esdras justice, creation names thee god, man names thee father; but solomon names thee compassion, which is the most beautiful of all thy names.

The whole question of pornography seems to me a question of secrecy. without secrecy there would be no pornography. but secrecy and modesty are two utterly different things. secrecy has always an element of fear in it, amounting very often to hate. modesty is gentle and reserved. today, modesty is thrown to the winds, even in the presence of the grey guardians. but secrecy is hugged, being a vice in itself. and the attitude of the grey ones is: dear young ladies, you may abandon all modesty, so long as you hug your dirty little secret.

I want to look my best for god. so many people have the attitude that if you're a christian you've got to dress bad, wear an old color, not do anything to your hair, have nothing. it's no wonder that christianity is not very attractive. i mean, how many people do you know in a western culture that's going to go, 'yeah, give me some of that?'
