Let Your Gods Strike Me Dead


Strike me dead if your musty books and archaic mouthings are not just empty bullshit
See me off to some fairytale eternal perdition if only I won’t ever have to see you again
A pox on your fictional jealous final judgments and everlasting rewards
Your comical vestments do not awe me and your pomp is way outdated

Do not try to explain the world to me with your antiquated inventions
Strike me dead if you do not just prey upon the feeble using dusty fairy tales
These Christian and Islamic myths are but especially virulent forms of thought control
Your expensive shrines are merely tools in your delusional self-promotion

Can you ensure that I will not share a place in heaven with the likes of you?
Your theological studies at religious universities are a useless waste of time
Strike me dead if all your learning is worth even one day of honest community service
Foolish debates over fictional scriptural minutiae do not constitute research

The brutal wars you sanction time and again are evidence of a deep sickness
Your uncritical promotion of man’s separation from nature is truly evil
Your moldy scholars have not advanced a new thought for a thousand years
Strike me dead if love, mercy and understanding flow from your actions

Strike me dead if a woman cannot equally serve God alongside men in this life
Torture me in hell if humor is not just as holy as your dark and brooding grimness
That natural catastrophe is punishment for non-believers is simply sinful nonsense
Mumbling that our misfortunes are signs of his mystery is but a smelly crock of shit

Demanding his retribution on the infidels by the faithful is a heinous crime
Strike me dead if your large part in the New World genocide was simply god’s will
Purporting to interpret god’s word on social issues should land you in psychotherapy
Saying that god requires beards and burkahs is pitifully comical, at best

Fondling frightened boys in your church ought to have brought on His lightning
Mumbling obeisance five times a day only impresses the poor, ignorant and stupid
Strike me dead if dietary restrictions have anything to do with heaven
Your criminal sales pitch is solely based on calming a fear of the unknowable realm of death

Fomenting deadly sectarian violence over ancient nonsense should land you in jail
Declaring the primacy of one faith over any other should be treated as truly feeble humor
Saints and their miracles are merely a transparent form of childish fiction
Strike me dead if self-serving pre-masticated dogma is not the source of all your wisdom
