Find a Better God

It really doesn't matter if you're gay or if you're straight.
The thing that really matters is to choose love over hate.
You're no "abomination," as the fundies like to say.
(Who talks these days like old King James, who was himself quite gay?)

Jesus never married, and he hung out with twelve guys.
He wasn't into shaming "sluts" and leaving them to die.
Among his friends were prostitutes and tax-collecting bums.
He spoke well of Samaritans (to Jews, mere half-breed scum).

The only things that pissed him off were cold, self-righteous prigs,
Slick religious con men, and a tree that bore no figs.
So come on, all you Christian folks: lay down that tired old hate.
Being cool won't turn you gay; no, you can still be straight.

Value gay believers, those who worship in your midst.
They, too, are your brethren, and they really do exist,
Unlike your savage god of war, by ancient herdsmen dreamt;
Find a better god to serve, as yours deserves contempt.
