Religion that’s civilized should tolerate blasphemy,
among other things it should do.
A god, all powerful, doesn’t need fallible
beings meting out punishment due
to miscomprehension of divine dos and don’ts
by demented disciples whose own wills and won’ts
confuse them as to whose will is done,
who find sermonizing much, much more fun
than caring for bodies or souls or the poor,
who take satisfaction in slamming the door
in anyone’s face with whom they disagree,
who think, “Nobody’s ever been holy as me.”
