Best God in Show

I’ve no consideration,

zero mutual respect

For billions who suffer from

rational thought neglect

I don’t wanna waste a sentence,

I don’t want a convert-sation

That’s gonna end in disdain,

disbelief and aggravation

And I find it’s getting harder to hang out

With grown adults who actually believe

In Santa Claus and Noah’s Ark

and that their god is the best

My distaste has turned into detest

Who would read a 2000

year old medical journal

Techniques for bloodletting,

advice on Trichinosis

Would you navigate the globe

with a map of a flat earth

Without DNA testing,

would you believe virgin birth

And I find it’s getting painful to put up

With grown adults who actually believe

In Unicorns and Creation,

and God always takes their side

That’s when my innocent jabbing turns snide

Thank God for the Grammy,

thank God for the touchdown

Thank God for blowing up

the enemy’s sacred ground

So how am I supposed to take

anything you say seriously?

When you’ve swapped free will for faith,

hope and pre-destiny

And it’s getting agonizing to hang out

With grown adults who actually believe

Mythology and history

trump physics and science

My aversion has turned to abhorrence
