Zeus Vs. Jehovah Big Boss Battle
The Greek gods are horrible and stupid.
They have petty arguments about who they
should kill
and then they just kill everybody.
They turn into swans or birds or fountains and
rape.
They blind some poor somebody for not
praising them enough.
They’re almost worse than people.
And then along comes the one true god
who is all knowing and all powerful and all
good,
except for making the deal with the devil
to torture
that faithful schmuck as a test.
And roasting people in hell for eternity
on obscure pretexts.
Supposedly it’s a philosophical advance
to believe in one god who allows evil
for reasons we can’t understand
rather than believing in a lot of gods
who do evil because they’re like people.
Is it more foolish to worship ourselves
torturing ourselves, or to worship
ourselves
pretending not to be ourselves
torturing ourselves—
or to worship nothing
and torture ourselves just the same?
Of course,
the gods don’t answer.
Unless mockery is an answer.
