Various Heresies 9

Various Heresies 9 Post-Nashville Covenant by Michael R. Burch We love our God. We love our guns. We despise the weak. Don’t call us Huns! We love our kids. We love our schools. We love our guns. Don’t call us fools! We pledge ourselves to the strong defense of the Constitution and our Mensch. Once re-elected, Trump will rule with God and guns and safer schools. Wonderworks by Michael R. Burch History’s mysteries abound & astound, found (profound) the whole earth ’round, even if mostly underground. uv been had by michael r. burch uv been had; ur Dad’s a cad; His priests are mad, His pastors lying. they only want your money, chum, so why play dumb and give it to ’em? give them the boot and send them flying! Come Spring by Michael R. Burch for the Religious Right Come spring we return, innocent and hopeful, to the Virgin, beseeching Her to bestow Her blessings upon us. Pitiable sinners, we bow before Her, nay, grovel, as She looms above us, aglow in Her Purity. We know all will change in an instant; therefore in the morning we will call her, an untouched maiden no more, “whore.” The so-called Religious Right prizes virginity in women and damns them for doing what men do. I have long been a fan of women like Tallulah Bankhead, Marilyn Monroe and Mae West, who decided what’s good for the gander is equally good for the goose. sonnet to non-science and nonsense by michael r. burch ur Gaud is a fiasco, a rapscallion and a rascal; he murdered lovely eve, so what’s there to "believe"? and who made eve so curious? why should ur Gaud be furious when every half-wit parent knows where our kids will stick their (k)no(w)'s(e)! no wise and loving father would slaughter his own daughter! ur Gaud's a hole-y terror! CONSIDER THE SOURCE OF ERROR: though ur bible’s a giant hit, its writers were full of sh-t. Why do faith, hope and love always end up PUSH and SHOVE? —Michael R. Burch, lines from “Christ, Jesus!” Yet another Screed against Exist-Tension-alism by Michael R. Burch Life has meaning! Please don’t deny it! It means we’re f-cked. Why cause a riot? Evangelical Fever by Michael R. Burch Welcome to global warming: temperature 109. You believe in God, not in science, but isn’t the weather Divine?
