Prayer to the current God
I offer this prayer:
Oh, Joe Hovah, God in Heaven; You are an almighty God, You may be in Heaven or LA, if you indeed even exist. You promote no compassion, no love, no kindness, but fear and hate. If despite the lack of evidence, you do exist, and you do care, are you powerful as Moses says? Or are you powerful but don’t give a shite about the sick? You are amoral Joe Hovah. If you do care and weep over Our suffering which you caused, but you are impotent to help; You may need to change jobs. Caring impotence, be a Democrat. Omnipotent indifference, a Repubican. Joe Hovah, you have major defects, and I understand why you are a failure. You're contradictory. You can't even exist, Joe Hovah. Logical inconsistencies are lethal. Scripture says you're a violent tyrant. I think its time we voted recall. You will be fired. You failed. It js to the grave yard of used Gods, to join Zeus, Apollo, Mercury, and Mars, to be forgotten except in Bullfinch's Mythology. Then Wilbur replaces you. Wilbur the creator acting by natural methods, physical laws, pops space from the vacuum. He doesn’t conjure, nor chant Magic words, “form and void, Darkness upon…the deep.” Wilbur is non-conscious nature. He can not think or care. He never made a burning Hell. No gory revelation rubbish Frightens children’s dreams. No scripture chains the mnd. Goodbye Joe Hovah, the terrible As you join the other gods On history’s rubbish dump. As you fade from memory, Your atrocities will be The stuff of mythic lore. Domhnall MacPherson © (Fiach) |

I was expecting an ode to Andre Marie Ampere.

I think that when Yahweh tries to join the Mediterranean pantheon (who are very much alive) in their "graveyard" (your phrase), he will find himself quite unwelcome. He will have to go to some second-rate divine retirement home.
But you're right about how Yahweh is being replaced by Wilbur. The question is, is that a good thing or a bad thing? I don't know, although I'm sure it would be best to replace him with Jupiter. |
