pity the bible thumpers she said
"Pity and friendship are two passions incompatible with each other.” ~ Oliver Goldsmith ~ Irish born British Essayist, Poet, Novelist and Dramatist. 1730-1774
I am both angry and inspired,
rarely ever say I'm speechless
cause I hardly ever am, religious freedom
is not about selective listening, hearing the
God of your choice in the tone of your loudest voice,
last I heard God is not a morality junkie
spreading the word like a communicable
disease.
Something's fishy in Denmark and it smells
to high heaven, please take your pity and
save it for yourself, you have forgotten what Jesus
said to the weeping women on his way to Golgatha:
"Daughters of Jerusalem do not weep for me;
weep for yourselves and for your children."
For the life of me, I understand it better today than
ever before and I thank you for that.
What an irony!
