The Erudite And The Bible Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

The erudite and the Bible

And then it was Friday and I had tried to keep my promise
of writing no more, as it is a waste of time, there are so
many other interesting things to do, to be member of a literary
group, have interesting talk about this and that drink cheap red
wine and walk home hammered. It was sad to see how much
Christopher Hitchens deteriorated when whisky took hold
And he and he preferred to talk about religion which is and easy
subject since everyone like to mock religion these days.
But we should respect those ones fearful who need a stern God.
From early childhood I thought the bible as a fairytale book with
Bad kings, brutal soldiers a few good guys who tried to do good.
I liked to read about Jesus but didn't believe in his resurrection,
I think him and Maria Magdalene, with help of friends, sailed to
Cote Azure where she became a seamstress and he a carpenter
Who delighted the children with his tale? But he never said he was
Son of God, he had promised Maria to stay clear of that subject.
The Jews use the Old Testament and the Muslims the Koran, that
is ok, I only wish they would tone down the language a bit, make their
bible more like the Brother Grimm's fairytales
