On The Road to Arimathea: Give Him a Monument That Beseems His Worth

Believers, convey Him hence.

     Who put the body of Jesus of Nazereth
in the Holy Sepulchre?  Who was that man?
His name was Joseph.  Should Joseph lie
without a monument upon his bones?  

     He was from Arimathea.  But where is
Arimathea?  Arimathea does not appear
on any ancient map, nor is it mentioned
in any ancient text, except the Gospels.
The Gospel of Luke can only say it is a 
city of the Jews.  Street views of Bethlehem,
Nazareth, Cana, Capernaum, Jerusalem,
Demascus---but vague on the best
disciple--Joseph from some city of the Jews.

     Is this not true, or was Jesus of Nazareth
buried by His enemies, as told in Acts 13:28-29?
Too strange to believe?

     If ever thou wilt thrive, let the dead bury
the dead.  Durst not resurrect carrion men.

A Volley of Words: Thy Fantasy, 'Tis Not Within the Prospect of Belief

Believe, if you will, in a simple-minded God.

     With cautelous baits and the folded meaning
of scripture smother'd in errors, Pope Francis
Feeble and Rev. Billy Shallow mouth faltering
deceits to the paragon of animals, born again
as the Pods of God.
     God's Pods, who must be profoundly disturbed
emotionally and profoundly uncomplicated 
intellectually, believing strange things revealed
by Old Carrions.  

'sDeath: Would God Would Serve the World

One of God's Pods

My God loves the world, but He is Jealous...Angry...
Vengeful...Demanding.  Why would a Supreme Being
burden us creatures with all them rules about worship
and blood sacrifice--goats, sheep, doves, and Jesus Christ
offered as sacrifices to God for a sweet  smelling savor?

(Vulgar wisdoms throwing forth greater themes?)

Aristotle

A God is absolutely self-sufficient
by definition.  God is in need of nothing,
not recognition, not honor, not worship.
(Eudemian Ethics Book VIII, 1249b)

The Conflict that Holds with Death

    War, when it comes, comes not
from the common people, but from
the Church and the State.

A Jest! ! O Pods of God, To Leave Thee to Thy Sinking

St. Peter Sinks Like a Rock *

     Eureka!  Eureka!  Jesus Christ

was able to walk on water 

because He was made-up out of

thin air, and what seemed 
corporal melts as breath into
wind.  QED

A Volley of Words--On the Tales Told by Idiots

Theists interpret false.
The lying'st knaves of Christendom

      Kingdoms are clay; our dungy earth
alike feeds beast and man.  Here is
my space---In the 21st Century, hermeneutics
enables modern theists, God lov'em, to avoid
psychotherapy. Exegesis replaced Genesis
thru Revelation decades ago.  Exit Jesus.

On the Equivocation of the Bible That Lies Like Truth

Nothing but This!

     To the illiterati that know not how to cipher
what is writ in learned books---

    Good News, O Pods of God:

        Modern science validates a religion!

     Bad News, O Pods of God:

        That religion is Atheism!*


      * The word atheist was first used by the Romans to describe
             the Jews and early Christians because these believers did not
             respect the freedom of worship and the beliefs of other people.
