Common Ground

Not only do Christians not love their enemies or do good to those that persecute them; not only do they not sell all they possess and give to the poor in sure and certain hope of treasure in heaven; it seems they cannot even summon up sufficient faith to believe in their Saviour's promise of jam at the end of time. More than two hundred potential participants in the Persian Crusade, representing all three branches of the Abrahamic delusion but mostly the Christian, have complained because their commanders are echoing the Christ's more demented millennial rhetoric and proclaiming the Trumpster's divine mission to bring about the Second Coming. The present US Secretary of War has endorsed capital punishment for homosexuality and doubtless for sorcery as well, besides the usual business about women knowing their place; so although his position on wearing more than one fabric at a time remains as yet unclear, we may at least be reassured that the Persian Crusade is not being preached from mere antipathy towards the values of the Islamic Republic.
