A perfect poetic rant from beginning to end. Great alliteration and just love the ending: God complex under construction. Very well written.

Thanks, RightPics. I usually don't let things get to me, but this post did.

Hey, Shari

Yeah. Is this a rant of sorts?
People disagreeing with the theme vs.
the poetic value of the piece, the manner
in which it is poetically written? Yeah.
I'm familiar.

When you gonna do another Bible senryu?
Love your stuff, and this one continues your fine tradition of
excellent tongue-in-cheek poetry.

A rant, yes, Ray. Something I shouldn't have lowered myself to do, but feel better for getting it off my chest. I'm working to finish my two biographies and then focus on the BB. Hopefully, no more than two weeks.

Sometimes it's good to vent. I know all too well about which you speak. You ranted in a most civilized way. I know your grandma would be pleased. :-p

Thanks, Brian. I'm in a Bible belt too. One reason my daughter moved 3000 miles to CA.

Good alliteration in Bible Basher ,rave reviews and complex under construction.These people make God in their own image and that's scary! Am enjoying reading your stuff again.

Thanks, Marge, for the exceptional rating. I was so upset by this post that I deleted my name from his fan list.

Amazing how those with "God complexes" just can't stand the idea that there is a God who is smarter, stronger, faster, and better at everything than they are themselves. They don't have the answers to the how's, why's, where's, when's, or what's, but they want to say that God didn't, couldn't, wouldn't, and will not. Arrogant and not wise as pride goeth before a fall.

Proverbs 14:16
The wise fear the Lord and shun evil, but a fool is hotheaded and yet feels secure.

Proverbs 15:2
The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.

UGOGURL!!

Thanks so much for the six. My second on this. Appreciate your quotes. I feel much better for mouthing off (althoughtI wanted to name the offender, but slapped my too fast fingers.) Let God do the judging.

Excellent package of image and perfect words! You certainly have this form of writing down to a delightful science. I have a few idea and subjects but have not mastered the photo insertion for my own photo files and then getting them alined with the text. I note that all the site "masters" are clever with physical word layout, music, and photos certainly not restricted to fan art. Congratulations on another winner!! Cheers, Vance

Thanks so much for the sixer. For photo insertion from your own files selecet "from computer" , then browse and go to pictures or wherever the photos are located in your PC, highlight what you want, punch "open" which returns you to where you can press "upload " and voila-- you should get your picture. Press "yes, Continue" and you'll get the posting site but no picture shows until you're finished. As for aligning it , there is a place where you are given a choice to center text. It that doesn't work, then you'll have have to copy and paste your post into advanced editor and do it by hand (no need to find the picture again, however.)Try this and see.

reply by His Grayness on 27-Jan-2013

Thank you for the succinct schooling on the photo handling...I appreciate it very much and will give it a try asap. I've been on a plane nearly daily for weeks and not back on normal schedule (if there is such a thing) till week after next. Great to hear from you and thanks again1! Vance

Hi Shari
How I do like this one. Do you know there are some, like me, that can sometimes have a warped sense of humor and basher can mean another thing. Have you ever heard of the term bashing the bishop? Well it's what the bishop looks like. So the term Bible basher has my mind in a boggle.I wonder if there is a term for Playboy basher LOL

Seriously a super poem and a great parody of the term bible basher.

Blessings

Spike

Thanks, Spike. Never heard the term bashing the bishop. Somehow I don't picture you as a Playboy basher. :-)

reply by Spike the second on 27-Jan-2013

Hi Shari
I think Ray the Earl of Oxford did asenyru about bashing the bishop on here. Of course with rhyming slang well used in parts of London we have many words and phrases for the action.
Google it and see what you find, it may give you a laugh.

Blessings
