Not A Christian Poem by Randy McClave

I will always pick and choose
The biblical verses that I want to use,
That makes me look like a Christian and a Saint;
Which I ain't.
I don't ever go to church on Sunday
And very seldom to God do I ever pray,
But, I will always use God's word
To cause difficulties and turmoil and hate in any herd.
I will whisper unto you who God does hate
And how Hell is indeed their ultimate fate,
Because through my eyes they don't or won't see
And because they don't believe or think like me.
I like to use and recite many Bible verses
And I like to use them all like curses,
Of course the Bible I don't study or read
To learn it and understand it, I have no need.
When there is someone that I don't agree with or care for
Maybe an immigrant, or someone gay, or someone needy or poor,
Or maybe it's someone from another race or belief
Or maybe someone who supports abortions without grief.
I then search the internet for a Bible verse
And when I find it I will use it to make them feel worse,
Them I will always accuse and proudly judge
And against them I will always hate and hold a grudge.
I will not read the verses of love and forgiveness and support
Because, I am the jury and the judge in my court,
I want people to believe the way that I do
So, I post and post and post without ever a thought or a clue.
If someone ever gets hurt I don't really care
I don't even really read the Bible or ever say a prayer,
I don't need a pastor or a church because I have the internet
Which is my greatest spiritual and fighting asset.
I will read the Bible passages that I want
Then I will have it for people to see and read and to taunt,
I hate those who don't believe like I believe
And I hope those who are different than me, all grieve.
To say that I am a Christian, I am not
I like the pot to be always boiling hot,
And for no one's beliefs different than mine do I give a damn
And of course by my beliefs you know who I am.
