Does God pull a long face?


Recently (April 2013), I read an interesting report and here’s an extract: “An Istanbul court on Monday slapped world-renowned pianist Fazil Say with a 10-month suspended jail term for blasphemy, the latest in a series of cases to raise eyebrows about Turkey's dismal record on freedom of speech.


Mmm...I wonder...
How god feels when insulted?
Will he pull a long face?
Will he be pissed with the human race?

Will he denounce the offender?
Will he go cold turkey?
Will he side with his defender?
Or will he drop the dead donkey?

How will god react, really?
When atheists call him imaginary.
Will he bang tables, bang chairs?
Will he holler at vanity fair?

Is god a god who cannot stand,
A little disagreement from his fan.
Is he hot, short and touchy?
Is his hand of wrath a tad itchy?

I can't imagine,
The creator of heavens,
Getting all strung up,
By some silly old fart.

Surely he has better things to do.
Than to get all riled up with fools.
Per chance the insult was well intent.
Wouldn't his love understand?

Is this a form of abuse,
When god is the perfect excuse?
That his fans would loosely use,
To oppress, to jail, and to even kill?

Alas, it is how it is,
With the religion of control.
While god may not be pissed,
Some talking heads will still roll.

Cheerz.
