Elon, Donald, and the Peter


 
FOR THE OPTIMISTIC LIZARD, A PROUD LIBERAL
 
 Elon, Donald, and the Peter
Each and every is a cheater.
One had five and one had seven
One has even had eleven
Children loved by God in heaven
Make the blood boil in the creeper.

Why our preferred pronoun for God should not be they

https://religionnews.com/2021/09/29/why-our-preferred-pronoun-for-god-should-be-they/

 
They is the plural of he or she,
or this, or that, or it;
There is but one God, and none but He,
not these nor those, dimwit.

When your name is Martha

Verily, verily, I say un-to thee:
One thing is needful when your name is Mary;
But if you should happen to go by Martha,
You're stuck serving lunch because that's your karma.

The Gospel of John is truer, you see . . .

The Gospel of John is truer, you see
than Synoptic Gospels ever could be:
Where it's "Verily, Verily I say unto thee",
and a single "Verily" won't quite do it for Me.

The dead are very fakes

The dead are very fakes,
On that you may rely:
The rest are only snakes
And liars which say aye.

They say that in Flanders fields wasted young lives abound, sleeping still beneath the ground . . .




















Yet from what I've seen of life the waste is all around, though walking the dead above also are found.

When is a Lutheran not a Lutheran?

There once was a woman named Beeson,
a Reverend who discovered a reason,
that it was more cozy
to go by "Peter", not "Rosie",
That's Lutheranism this Lenten season.

I'm so Protestant . . .

. . . I object to what even I believe.

For Luke Harrington at Christ and Pop Culture

Sorry, Luke, couldn't help myself. Boring sermon you know, and the mind wanders. Think of it as free advertising.

I write of a scribbler named Harrington
whose 'juvenilia' show he's a simpleton,
when regretfully I see
he means 'juvenility'
A poor boy just being a charlatan.

With two hours to go to the end of the world there's no sign of a fireball let alone any heat

'Twas the night of the eschaton
and all through the house
not a creature was stirring 
in fear of a megaton . . .

Jesus Believed Hell's Worm Does Not End, Its Fire Does Not Go Out


In Mark 9 there's a fire asbestos
Not fleeting, as if just to test us:
Where the worm is eternal
And the flame, unquenchable.
Repeated three times! Imbecillus!

A Little Greek Lesson For Rob Bell From Mark 9:44-48





3 dits, 4 dits, 2 dits, dah!
Bell's hell's not eternal, despite ou tel-eu-ta.

dit dah, dit dit dit, dit dit dit!
Broad is the way that leadeth to the pit.

The Eternal Flame

In Mark there's a fire asbestos
Not fleeting, as if just to test us:
Where their worm is eternal
And their flame, unquenchable.
Repeated three times! Imbecillus!

With Rob Bell . . . in Hell

There once was a pastor named Bell
His first sermon, chronicl'd in hell:
"Jesus' radical love is a scandal!
That's why I took off my sandals!"
Twofold more child of hell than yourselves.





















Story here.

Little Danny Tutwiler


Little Danny Tutwiler
Sat upon a Rottweiler
And he began to cry:
"Maaaama! Maaaama!
Reverend Dr. Dan am I!"

Four in the Morning Blues

Green grass I have long since stopped mowing,
And it's time for a new kind of growing:
A beard on my face
Has taken its place
It's 10 below and it's snow that I'm blowing.
