Don't worry, I'm still reading the bible; I just needed to bitch.
And it'd been a while since I'd done a poem. :)

When I started reading the bible
At first it was scary
I didn't want to convert
And so I was wary

I'd heard so many stories
Told this book held great power
To help the weak and the hurting
Brighten their darkest hour

Its legend built up
By the faithful and godly
To deny their book's power
Would get one looked at oddly

So it was with trepidation
That I began to read
Not sure what to expect
Yet curious indeed

And you know what I found
Upon reading the bible?
This book is beyond inaccurate
Nearly bordering on libel

It's wrong about science
And the birth of the universe
It makes enemies of Egypt
And to make matters worse

That part's not even true
Egypt NEVER enslaved Jews
And don't get me started
On this book's sexual views

Or how there's war after war
With no end in sight
Seems all the Jews knew to do
In ancient times was to fight!

And that's to say nothing
Of the bible's language use
Archaic words and phrasing
That border on abuse!

It's a mystery to me
How any convert by this book
Are folks REALLY that gullible
Or do they not give it a look

And just take the word
Of their pastor or preacher?
Well, if that's the case
Let ME be your teacher

Try READING this book
See if you can get through
Without scoffing and laughing
And proclaiming "FUCK YOU"!

"I'm supposed to believe WHAT?
"THAT'S what's in here???"
The bible's the best way
To make faith disappear

This book is abysmal
It really does stink
So don't run on automatic
Instead, everyone please think
