Day 17: Study; The Internet Preacher Well Studied In Cherry Picking and Fear Mongering

Believe me I studied it he says

Its right here in the Word

There are rules

For your own good.

The sheep have maggot infested sores

The cure while extremely painful isn't death

Christ suffered and endured for your cause

He will ensure  you suffer too

In the name of salvation

To heal the wounds

There are rules

Guardrails from hell for your own good

All we like sheep have gone astray...

Are you a black sheep or white

Unconfessed Mortal sin, on Judgment Day

You will burn, all other facts be damned

God is love Love  benevolently

inflicts pain for your own good

Spouts the slideshow sideshow

Fundamentalist priest

Refiners fire leaves scars

You won't ever forget; for your own good

Mixed metaphors of a wooly farm animal

Sacrificial or sinful?

Sheep are very simple creatures not

to be trusted to survivor without a shepherd (Or beaten with a crozier)

From where I sit the universe

is immense too vast and varied

Ignoring all evidence to the contrary

He prescribes a simple fix

3 Hail Mary's upon waking for purity

And a strong internet filter; no TV

Wouldn't want to trust the dictates of my faulty conscience
but then who am I to say?

(another throw back poem circa early 2015)
