Biblical Imbecility

 

 

i finished my bible today

finished revelations

 

i’m waiting for the lord to come

cos i’m an idolayter

 

and sexually immoral

but not so much a dog

 

i’m waiting for the wrath to fall

with gog and mr gog

 

magog?! magog!  my kingdom for magog

Whoo-hoo, another heathen! Let's you and me go into the temple, single out each and every moneylender and make a fiery deposit, eh? Have you performed this? What was the reaction?

Really scary are those who make interpretations of Revelations according to their own agendas, and declare themselves 'masters of the universe and all therein'.

I did smile at 'i finished my bible today' as though anyone ever 'finishes' the bible. And the quirky take on Shakespeare was fab.

Yeh, sorry - tried to add a voice recording but I can't seem to convert my amr file to an mp3 goddammit.

Anyhow, the 'idolater' should rhyme with 'revelations' and magog has a flat 'a'.

There, that makes it MUCH more understandable eh?!

I guess there is only a very limited amount of people who will 'get' this - but it amused me anyway ;D
