I just think it's irresponsible to lose one's muse, considering the leash law and all. As far as gods, I wasn't talking about religion.
Religious poetry, like any poetry, is good if it's done well.
P.s. It can be also be quite inspirational

The question though, really, it's that if the poem is a translation of the voice of God (not to say that such things don't exist), or else some metaphysical muse, and can only be translated by it's medium (the poet), than what's the point in workshopping it? Who am I to suggest edits for spiritual entities? What am I to tell the poet, that it was translated incorrectly?
