I think God deserves better than the kind of chintzy
fairytale poetry written by religious people. He is
far more powerful than them or their pathetic and
conceited attempts to scare people with threats a
bout the grim reaper or the devil.
Hey, that reminds me, who do you think would win
in a wrestlemania face-off between the grim reaper
and the devil? I think the devil would win hands
down because all the grim reaper has is that dopey
scythe, a clumsy instrument that is rendered useless
in close-in combat. And that black gown that he
wears (and never throws in the wash, I’ll bet) cuts
off his peripheral vision. I think the devil’s
pitchfork allows for more versatility, and he can
head-butt the grim reaper with his horns.
Ultimately, God can easily dispatch both of them
with a flick of his nonexistent little finger. What he
seems unable (or unwilling) to do is help religious
people write decent poetry.
