A Most Unusual Evangelical One-Man Band
An old preacher named Ned
Got it into his head
To make a musical pilgrimage
Before he was dead.
He claimed divine inspiration
To form a band and tour the nation,
And by so doing treat its ills,
Not with welfare checks and pills,
But with arpeggios and trills.
He'd spread the gospel word through music
And lead the land back to salvation.
He first made

Great Interfaith Revolutions
Executive Summary:
To optimize Great Faith Revolutions,
combine all toxic ingredients
of Make America Great Again,

Thesis and AntiThesis:
I suppose we might uncover
many differences in theologies,
Eastern and Western,
Southern and Northern.
One of these differences
is not fundamentalism itself,
which appears on both polarized sides

Dear Evangelical Brother
Dear Brother,
When we were children
adults often asked us
What do you hope to be
when you grow up?
But, our brothers and sisters
were more likely,
and probably more wise,
to ask
Who would you most hope to become?
To be like?
Which implies, to my unformed ear
and eye,
Which of these adults you know,
or know of,
do you like best
as a mentor
for your own happiest

Christian Evangelical-Charismatic Republicans
I grew up with rural Michigan white red-neck evangelical root systems.
These did not always feed my multicultural self/other liberation of the GLBTQ subclimatic root system
for regeneratively healthy instincts,
yet I learned to survive within this fundamentalist-alien-straight Christian White anthro-culturally supremacist climate of heterosexuality
not understood as a fully regenerative multiculturally organic sexuality,
most certainly inclusive of GLBTQ,
among full-octave

Fundamentals Revisited
If it is a premise of fundamentalists,
whether Christian or Islamic or Devil Worshipers,
that Reason is bad, faith is good,
what could anyone reasonably say
that could not be unfaithful to good?
However, as I recall,
there is that oft-quoted Christian maxim
of Paul the Apostle:
faith without works is dead.
So there is good faith,
which works,
and bad faith,
which doesn't.
So, if reason is
