The Saints Go Marching Out

*
"In all ages, hypocrites, called priests, have put crowns upon the heads of thieves, called kings." (Robert G. Ingersoll, 1833-1899, Prose Poems and Selections, 1884. From Daniel B. Baker, ed., Political Quotations, Detroit: Gale Research, Inc., 1990, p. 190.)
*
"Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice. Hear ye, O mountains, the Lord's controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel. O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me." (The Holy Bible, Micah 6:1-3)
*
Well - before we continue that - while you've been busy - a few of your left behinds got left behind - and there really hopin you can get them all better so you can torment their children and grand children when they mess up.
*
"Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach. Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens. We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows. We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us. Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest. We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities. Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand. We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness. Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine. They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah. Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured. They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood. The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men. from their musick. The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning. The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned! For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim. Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation. Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time? Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old. But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us." (The Holy Bible, Lamentations 5:1-21)
*
The IQ's of a Moron. All the babies are dead - everybody is starving. The water is gone so drink blood. Why is everybody upset? Doesn't anybody want to play anymore? I said Fear me you little varmints. If you don't be good - I'm not taking any one of you to heaven.
*
"History I believe furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance, of which they're political as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purpose." (Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to Baron von Humboldt, 1813; from George Seldes, ed.,The Great Quotations, Secaucus, New Jersey: Citadel Press, 1983, p. 370)

It's 4th of July - Independence Day

*

The fireworks are exploding - barbecues - a sizzlin -beer drinkers banterin and I be bustin the butt of the Bad Boy of Beast-ee-ality. I don't exactly see the LORD God as an advocate of Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But for the flavor of the day - God does keep the War on Terror alive.

*

"And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob." (The Holy Bible Genesis 35:5)

*
Who are the sons of Jacob today we know God is alive and well? And don't think I think Christians have a right to such an exclusive club. Zealots are zealots - extremists are extremists. Radicals are radical .
*
"Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury. " (The Holy Bible Zechariah 8:2)
*
God is quite prejudice about savin the selected few - but not the least bit concerned about warring on the condemned many. Except of course when he is havin a bad hair day!
*
" And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. " (The Holy Bible, Leviticus 26:25)
*
Soo onward in the tradition of truth honor and Hi - Ho - Humm Vee. Rascal down the great trickery portrayed on the pretty purple people of Pluto. Whoop see - we be on planet earth- thought I got my directions mixed up at the celestial crossings. - Nope - But we better get Christ down so he can turn our bastardized creeks of boiling blood into the bubblies of beautiful being ness.
*
Sooo - hey look at the roll. The one O where we started. The two OOs as we yondered and now three OOOs. O -shit! In the prepared panic of an attack that landed the Big Dog. I be hunting in the bayous for Christ and the hounds are baying on the other side of the lagoon. But never fear. This Jury Panel of Justice shall be taking a typhoon through the hurricanes of Hell and be diggin the skulls of the swamp and skippin across the backs alligators. Yep -
*
That's what we be doing - drinkin a cold fresca of course with a lime and ice and a stick with a straw hat on top! Gates of Hell - open up cause here I come. Sure do miss my cosmic dancers - but their teenstee weenstee little tosey - not for these fires heatin up. I be as welcomed in hell as a mascot of marmalade at a winter weight watchers weigh in.
*
Soooo heave Hoooo -back and forth and on to Netherlands of Nod. I Bet God, the old bastard didn't think a simple cosmic trial lawyer and the rest of you would get a shot at him this life time. This simple cosmic lawyer and the rest of you be a cat of 9 lives and just 29 gone thus far. If Gods lookin for a second wind - someone better tell him - if there is any wind blowin - it will be a tail wind that tethers him into the tomorrow of teetering totality towards his now infamous mirror of mortality. It will be the stink of skunk that sticks to the hand that viciously pulls the tail of the Red - White and Blue.
*
"Religious and racial persecution is moronic at all times, perhaps the most idiotic of human stupidities." (Harry S. Truman, 33rd U.S. President [1945-1953], Where the Buck Stops; The Personal and Private Writings of Harry S. Truman, ed. by Margaret Truman; New York: Warner Books, Inc., 1989, p. 126
*
America the Beautiful is still America the Beautiful.
*
Those who are over zealous - creating an Armageddon you think saving grace awaits you are crashing us into oblivion. Without the balance of human decency on the left side which is the wing of freedom that lifted the plane of humanity out of a morose misery where the God you fall yourself and your wretched knees upon - crash landed into an abyss of beauty - where the smell of putrid behavior still reeks in the dusts of grace fallen upon with your swords of savagery. The Founding's Fathers and those with visionary action and spiritual courage founded this great ideal of America on the freedom of religion and self-expression.
*
"When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion." (Abraham Lincoln, 16th U.S. President [1861-1865]. From Henry O. Dormann, compiler, The Speaker's Book of Quotations, New York: Ballantine Books, 1987, p. 127.)
*
" ... in churches, every healthy and thoughtful mind finds itself ... checked, cribbed, confined." (Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803-1882, American author, in 1878. From Edwin S. Gaustad, Faith of Our Fathers: Religion and the New Nation, San Francisco: Harper & Row, 1987, p. 135. )
*
The LORD God of Hosts is a terrorist .
*
Where as a lone serial killer - is abhorred. The one who is the initialization of the great holocaust. Holocaust - is defined in Funk and Wagnall's as: Wholesale destruction and loss of life.
*
"And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste." (The Holy Bible, Lev 26:33)
*
Religious God Fearing America bows its knee - and puts its ignorant ass in the pew of The LORD God of Hosts. Religious God fearing folks wholesale their collective soul around the world to the Great God of War. American Laws and morals are over- run with religious dogmas - babies are burped on violence and murder and misery with their playpens sitting next to the 24-hr news. And then God forbid they one day might see themselves naked in the shower. War - Murder - Violence - Corruption. The true God Fearing champion's breakfast. On lookers half a world away read these passages out of The Holy Word of God. Panicked by their perceptions of America. The Great Satan. No longer the Atlantic and Pacific keep them a distance of safety away - and who can blame them.
*
Read for yourself.
*
"And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities." (The Holy Bible, Numbers 21:2)
*
" And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem." (The Holy Bible 2 Samuel 12:31)
*
Not exactly keepers of the Geneva Convention. The house of David by the way is where Jesus supposedly comes from. Now there's a bloodline of compassionate Christian conservatism. Who is selling their souls to Satan here? Call it the spade it is. Sick demented Dark Age diabolical deviate behavior from a God of Love - of course. But to keep the LORD'S house in order - got to bring back the spoils.
*
"Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain the house of the LORD." (The Holy Bible, 1Chronicles 26:27)
* I'm just tingly all over - the original family values Waste not - Want Not.
* "And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD. "
(The Holy Bible, Joshua 6:24)
*
It's not stealing - mind you- these folk are snail slime. Probably did something besides - murder - loot - and rape. Never - the - mind. I'm sure somewhere in the city was astrologers and incense burners. Folks who weren't keeping the Sunday Blue Laws. Folks like Thomas Jefferson - George Washington - Abraham Lincoln - John Adams and Thomas Paine. Folks who founded this country on spiritual courage and threw into the wind this bondage and thievery of souls.
* Ladies and Gentleman of the Jury:
*
This is the God the Biblical God fearing folk all around you are falling upon their knees too. This is the God that a lot of innocent ignorant folk who have not done a social background much less criminal back-ground check on the God they are giving their souls too.
*
"See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand." (The Holy Bible, Deuteronomy 32:3)
*
God if your listening and not to damn busy watchin the sparrows what the hell is the jealously about? You be the Man - right? This is the God Your Bible preacher will tell you to trust in faith. I don't trust The LORD God with your pet rock. Unless its' a boulder the size of a small planet sittin atop a spiritually loose ledge that this bastard neurotic jealous God has got his pitiful ass under. I guarantee your preacher's read their Bible. I guarantee Pat Robertson does The Christian Coalition does. I know George W. Bush says he doesn't read the newspaper. I shudder to think he's digging around Biblical passages getting his marching orders from The LORD. This God to whom Jesus they pray - to deliver them from their sins. This God they are asking to be taken to heaven by.
*
The hypocrisy of the professed love of Jesus -
when in a New York Minute
- its -
"Vengeance is Mine."
Heat this Courtroom up.
Somebody make a run for the cold beer....
