№ 857.1: EXTRA! Believer's Creed (why I needn't stay home nor wear a mask)

WISHFUL THINKING (May 15) —
I believe this virus is God's subtle way
to punish His numinous enemies,
and, as such, I see no reason
to alter my daily activities,
knowing my God is by side
in everything I say and do
and He approves whatever it is
I, every day, choose to do.
For He is my shepherd and I am His sheep,
whether a ram or a ewe,
and He watches over me, awake and asleep,
apparently, He's nothing better to do
than follow me on my daily rounds —
yes, I know, that sounds astounding —
the Almighty, universal creator, wasting His time on,
what you could call, a mere groundling,
an insignificant mote in His eye,
unworthy of His attention,
but we have this thing, my God and I,
a reciprocal reason suspension.
Ignoring logic, observation, and science
I say He IS and He thinks I AM.
I know this is true, for I am sure
of all Creation God picked me
to tell everyone what He'd have them do.
My proof? When asked,
He does not contradict me!
