be more LIKE JEHOVAH, JUNIOR!

Is your god against war?  Has he ever said, “War is bad”?

No?  Not even once?!

Do you teach Junior to be like your god?  “Junie, be like Jehovah.  He’s a murdurous, gluttonous son-of-a-gun who loses his temper at the drop of a hat, and starts wars on a whim.  Be like him!” 

No?  You say you would sooner eat grubs than tell Junie to be like your god?  Then why the heck do  you worship this grubby-dud deity? 

My Goddess doesn’t start wars.  She presided over three civilizations that eschewed war.* 

What’s more, while she captained the ship, no one was poor.  

No ugly status hierarchies dubbed one dude 1,000,000,000,000 times better than another -- even though both put their pants on one leg at a time, grew hair on their chinny-chin-chins, and periodically hadda wipe ear wax outa their ears.

Break MY TEETH (BUT BE PRETTY ABOUT IT)

Never let it be said the Christian Book of Psalms is not a book of beauty.

Sit back, relax, and be prepared for pure poetical bliss:

"That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.-- 68.23

"Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.-- 137.9

"Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.-- 109.10

"Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces.-- 2.9

"He teacheth my hands to war.-- 18.34

"The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.-- 58.10

"Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.-- 69.23

"To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever.-- 136.10 [“Huh?” Sound of Athana scratching her head]

And last but not least, My personal fave:

"Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth."-- 58.6
