Don Yahweh: The "King" of the Universe
Don Yahweh: The "King" of the UniverseOr consider the Christian radio preacher, whom I heard the other day as he exclaimed that the Bible says that, on the Judgment Day, all will bend down before Jesus Christ, some willingly because of love of his appearance. Others will be brought to their knees by an iron rod that will break their legs. So the preacher pleaded, "Submit willingly or have your legs broken. Either way you will submit!"
Saint Bob captured this in his song,
Oh, God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son."
Abe said, "Man, you must be putting me on."
God said, "No."
Abe say, "What?"
God say, "You can do what you want, Abe, but the next time you see me comin', you better run."
Well, Abe said, "Where ya want this killin' done?"
God said, "Out on Highway 61."
Yes, amazingly, this does sound like a Mafia protection racket: Bow down to me or I'll break your legs. Or it can be seen as a version of the other nonsensical demand of the incredibly narcissistic and dictatorial god of the childish religions: Love me freely and with your whole heart or I'll break your body and dance on your windpipe. Yes, these religions tell us to believe in an Almighty Creator, whose ego is so bizarrely fragile and infantile that He forces His own creation—under the threat of eternal torture—to provide Him with a constant stream of adoration, or else He flies into a rage!?! |  |
