It's Thursday! Almost Friday! I think I'll try to write another original atheist limerick. (Coffee's almost ready.)
Until then, I'll post a few that I have found on the internet the last few days.
Holy proselytizing’s annoying,
Whatever technique you’re employing.
I have one strong belief:
Way too much of our grief
Has been caused by religion-deploying. -- Madeleine Begun Kane
====
After class and the ring of the bell,
A Christian said, "You're going to hell!"
To that condemning so vile,
I replied with a smile,
"Thanks, that idea sounds swell!"
"A Happy Atheist"
How fortunate I am to be atheist indeed,
I don't have to pray to any god with heed,
Nor do I follow a religion with irrationality,
Living secularly, I enjoy the world in true reality,
Without religion I am not morally corrupt,
My freethinking and logic do not disrupt,
My fellow infidels may agree with my psychology,
That the ultimate oppressor of freedom is theology -- two from Brandon Seeger
====
And the rest from Richard Wade:
A preacher who said, “Gay is sin”
Was caught being naughty with men
He said “I’m straight now,
‘Cause God showed me how.”
Yeah, straight as he ever has been.
Ted Haggard created a shock
So his churchgoers said, “Take a walk.”
But he said that by livin’
In Christ he’s forgiven
For the sin of misusing his………flock.
How convenient for any old wretch
To be able--with one genuflex
to have a clean slate
each time sins they create
Theists think they're divine Etch-a-Sketch.
Plus my favorite of the bunch:
An atheist’s outlook is sunny
‘Cause so much of life can be funny.
Without a hereafter
We cherish the laughter
And savor each moment like honey.
