This may not be literary gold... but who cares? I wrote this as a warning/explanation concerning your words and actions towards me. Are you not aware of deviantART's rules against harassment? How about the possibility of you being reported and banned if your insults and threats go too far?
One of the reasons you flame and bully people, especially Christians, is because it gives you a (temporary) taste of power. Even though, in most cases, you are only young children, you feel supreme over those you curse and argue with. Therefore, you strive to hurt people, you don't even know, just so you can feel good.
You probably think that by numerous attempts to break others down, you will eventually succeed. Although, the truth is, you can't. Some people, who are not totally trusting in God and letting Him take control of their problems, do fall. The results of their pain is usually, constant bitterness, turning away from the only One who can help them and, even suicide.
However, real Christians stay strong in a way that hardly anyone understands. Why? We see and feel God helping us and giving us the motive to keep doing what is right. We also find incredible promises in the Lord's word, the Bible. Some of the many verses that inspire and keep me going can be found in my artists comments, below.
Now, you may think I'm hated by everyone because some have made webpage’s (especially on Encyclopedia Dramatica) against me, but I know the real fact. The amount of friends, family, and even random people that love me, outweigh those who speak against me by the millions. Heck, even if humanity saw me as the most despised girl on the planet, I would still be loved beyond comprehension. God's love for me is everlasting. I seek not the approval or mortal love of mankind; rather, the true and amazing love of the Father. What He thinks of me is all that matters.
When I ignore and block people who try to tear me up, I'm pretty much just letting them know how valuble my life is. If I truely hated them, I would say so instead of ignoring them. I hate no one. If I want to live, be myself and do what I came here to do, I can and will block people.
By refusing to dwell on harsh words, I'm saying, "I don't have time for this. I choose to enjoy my life and live it for a reason. If you don't like that, fine. That's you. I signed up on this website to be myself, post my art, photo's and writing's. I did not come hear to deal with those who are immature and intolerant. I can hide comments, block, ignore and report, when necessary, if I wish."
Think before you flame. It usually gets you nowhere but banned. Please treat others the way you would want to be treated. Consider the feelings of others. We're all humans with daily and eternal needs. None of us are perfect. We can, however, be loving and respectful to one another while we still have the chance. If we cannot agree on everything, that's okay. It's also expected and a part of life. We need to be mature enough to keep our distances and bite our tongues.
I don't need to argue. I don't need more insults. All I want is for you to know that I am praying for you and that I care about you. I also will never stop praising God. He has done way too much for me.
Bullying and harassing hardly ever produces rewards; only punishment. But, please remember that wherever there are mistakes, forgiveness is also available. Not to mention, peace, joy, happiness, and much more.
Whosoever has read this, I certainly hope understands.

This was written for those who have hurt me in mind. I have forgiven you. Please think about what I'm saying to you.
I hoped to speak to you from a most personal level. I try so hard not to hate you and curse you. I know hate and cursing never helps anything. Only prayers and kindness. Therefore, to anyone who gangs up on me, trying to make me look like a fool, I say, "God bless you. Have a nice day."
You can tell me to stop praying because "It's my soul. You have no right to pray for it", and "Prayer is useless!" but I'm not listening. I am praying anyway. You can never, ever, ever stop me from doing that.
If you say you're a Christian, are even though you yourself knows that's not true, you're making a huge mistake. I, and all other people who have learned not to trust mankind, can see right through you. We're not fooled at all by your little disguises and tricks. And yes, WE WILL PRAY FOR YOU. Whether you like or not doesn't matter to us. God wants us to pray for you. We obey Him.
I don't pray that you'll change just so I'll like you, I pray so that you won't go to Hell! I care about you, even if I block you from doing damage to my page. By showing how much I care, I will ignore your words, yet, keep you in my mind, in my heart and in my prayers. Got a problem? Too bad, so sad. You'll thank me someday though.
If you really think telling me over and over again how much you hate me and think I deserve whatever troubles I get will make me abandon Christ and sulk my life away, you're far from thinking logically.
Here some verses, aka, my weapons in the war I find myself in everyday.
Those who are treated badly for doing good are happy, because the kingdom of Heaven belongs to them. People will insult you and hurt you. They will lie and say all kinds of evil things about you because you follow Me. But when they do, you will be happy. Rejoice and be glad, because you have a great reward waiting for you in Heaven. People did the same evil things to the prophets who lived before you.
_ Matthew 5:10-12
People will be rewarded for what they say; they will be rewarded for how they speak. What you say can mean life or death. Those who speak with care will be rewarded.
- Proverbs 18:20-21
Do not let evil defeat you, but defeat evil by doing good.
- Romans 12:21
If we are to share His glory, we must share His suffering. What we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory He will give us later.
- Romans 8:17-18
Our present troubles are quite small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us an immeasurably great glory that will last forever.
- Philippians 4:4
Blessed are those who endure when they are tested. When they pass the test, they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.
- James 1:12
If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. ...If you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.
- 1 Peter 4:14, 16
I say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"
- Hebrews 13:6
No one whose hope is in you, Lord, will ever be put to shame.
- Psalm 25:3
My body and my mind may become weak, but God is my strength. He is mine forever.
- Psalm 76:26
Give all your worries to Him, because He cares about you.
- 1 Peter 5:7
Here, also, are two interesting articles my friend found. [link]

Since I love music so much (and not only hip-hop), I have a collection of lyrics and videos below that also go with my writings and feelings.
"Shut Me Out" by Kutless
Tell me something I don't already know
I know that you can't stand these things I'm preaching in the streets
But how can I contain the truth I hold inside
With all the hurting people that I see so I don't mind
Putting up with you, and all the things you say
I'm not about to stop or even change my ways
[CHORUS:]
There's nothing you can say
That will take me away from this life
There's nothing you can do
To shut me up when I'm speaking the truth
Into the bridge and ending last line:
(to shut me up, to shut me out when I'm speaking the truth)
You may not like all I have to say
But you can't prove that everything is filled with empty words
I know my life and inside how I've changed
A testimony to the truth I speak, so I don't mind
Putting up with you, and all the things you say
I'm not about to stop or even change my ways

"Voice Of Truth" by Casting Crowns
Oh,what I would do to have
the kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown
Where Jesus is,
And he's holding out his hand
But the waves are calling out my name
and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
time and time again
"Boy, you'll never win,
you'll never win."
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
the voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
and the voice of truth says "this is for my glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
Oh, what I would do
to have the kind of strength it takes
To stand before a giant
with just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound
of a thousand warriors
shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand
But the giant's calling out
my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
time and time again
"Boy you'll never win,
you'll never win."
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
the voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
and the voice of truth says "this is for my glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
but the stone was just the right size
to put the giant on the ground
and the waves they don't seem so high
from on top of them looking down
i will soar with the wings of eagles
when i stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
singing over me
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says do not be afraid
And the voice of truth says this is for my glory
Out of all the voices calling out to me (calling out to me)
I will choose to listen and believe (I will choose to listen and believe)
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
I will listen and believe
I will listen and believe the voice of truth
I will listen and believe
'Cause Jesus you are the voice of truth
And I will listen to you.. oh you are
