№ 617: Light To Rife

END OF THE LINE, June 13

Why, if I may be so bold as to ask,

do Evangelicals believe it their task

to fix the world they say their God created?
If God made it, it is — by definition! — without defect,
exactly as you would have to expect 

unless you consider God somewhat overrated.

They say God created the Devil.

(Let's pretend the Bible is on the level,

not old nonsense long ago antiquated.)
Therefore, it must follow in equal portion

that God also created abortion

and stuff and procedures to which abortion's related:

diaphragms, condoms, day after pills —

quick picker uppers to clean up sperm spills,

lest feminine Dems require all men be castrated.

If this purported God hasn't retired

and if He/She really required

every egg-sperm combo to be propagated,

being perfect and powerful, I would have thought

(S)He'd have come with something less fraught

than this packet of nuts who say women, when impregnated,

lose their rights, have no say come what may

and must birth a baby — who cannot be gay! —

and those holding otherwise must publicly be flagellated.

Do these über Christians see God as weak,

needing their help, requiring their pique,

or are these pipsqueaks Biblically uneducated?

The Bible is said to say all sorts of things.

(Some likely say it says pigs have wings.)

But on abortion consistent opinion is not unequivocally stated.

Therefore, I say, “Right-to-Lifers, away!”

Nor that I think this will end the affray

until an asteroid hits and the planet's depopulated.

                          *     *     *

Oh, thrice blest blast bring us perpetual peace,

freedom from Gods, laities, priests.

Pray tell, how soon before this can be consummated,
with everything living in a instant incinerated?
Evangelical lust for dominance will at last be sated
when this inadequate planet's completely obliterated.
