A Traditional Spiritual

Pharyngula: The unspoken part of the discussion
re: A Civil Discussion

Well it may seem like God upstairs
Ain't been listening to my prayers
And the things I see ahappenin' make me cry,
But all those tears turn into glee
When His Word's remindin' me
Of my home in highest heaven, by and by.

It's gonna be grand
  Gonna be grand
Yeah it's gonna be grand
  Gonna be grand
It's gonna be grand when I see my Lord
And shake his hand
  Holy hand
So many people I used to know
Will be wracked with pain below
Sufferin pain I could not stand
Ain't it gonna be grand.

Well those people across the street
Kindest folks you'll ever meet
And they'll share whate'er they can to help you by.
Since they don't believe God's there,
After death they'll learn despair
And their filthiness won't taint my home on high.

It's gonna be grand
  Gonna be grand
Yeah it's gonna be grand
  Gonna be grand
It's gonna be grand when they burn in Hell
Like Jesus planned
  Jesus planned
So many people much kinder than me
Writhin' in endless agony
While I'm smug in the promised land
Ain't it gonna be grand.

Bloody Flexegesis

Pharyngula: God hates squid

Lexegete-flexegete,
Answers in Genesis
Claims that an octopus
Is not alive;

This is great news, 'cause their
Masturbiblationry
Lore will allow undead
Squid-men to thrive.

Compound Eye Candy

Pharyngula: Chance and regularity in the development of the fly eye

Observing nature
In her unclothed pulchritude
Brings light to the eye.

One radical rule
Weaves all intricate wonders:
Life is for more life.

Blind components knit
To form a perplexing whole;
Admire religion?
