    Prayer

    Oh exalted one
    I am not worthy of your love
    Take that love and wave it in my face
    And say
    'You arent having that'
    Give me the strength to blindly follow you
    And ignore any evidence to the contrary
    Like dinosaurs and such heathen fantasies
    Let me believe that only you are true
    And other gods are fallacies
    And give me the strength to kill
    In your name
    And divide.
    Blind me to any suggestion
    Of science
    And bless me with guilt
    Sweet guilt
    If I ever doubt
    Like Thomas
    The tank engine
    Amen

    For those who believe,
    no explanation is necessary.
    For those who do not,
    none will suffice.

    Peas.

    "But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
    "Oh, yes, I do."
    "In flames and torment?"
    "Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
    "That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said.
    "Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.

    Let this prayer be never fulfilled for lack of gods.

    As sweet a bit of satire as I've seen in awhile. Amen.

    In my best evangelical voice:

    AmenhallelujahPRAISEJESUS!
    "I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
