On the Power of Religion
The two great questions of our age, "Do you want fries with that?" and "What would Jesus do?" can really be distilled into The One Supreme Question, "Would Jesus want fries with that?" Or, to fit on a bumpersticker, "WJWFWT?" If more people asked themselves this question, obesity would be a thing of the past. It reminds me of a limerick (which I wrote last night)....
Slimmin' With Religion
The American people are fat
And we need to do something real stat
"Just say no" supersize
(which goes right to your thighs)
And ask, would Jesus want fries with that?
And speaking of the past, not everything oldie is goodie:
That Old-Time Religion
Don’t give me that old-time religion
Where killing ain’t always a sin
Don’t you find it quite odd
That Old Testament God
Struck down millions who weren't his kin?
Along these lines, there is a great quote from Isaac Asimov about religion and the bible:
"Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived."
