I don't know the origin of this, but it was featured on the Ellen Degeneres show. Time out on all political and religious differences. Thank you, Ms. Degeneres, for making my daughter laugh.
Next up, Pius IX solemnly declares what number an audience member is thinking of, Pius X causes heretics to disappear and Benedict XVI makes a beer stein materialize from under a handkerchief.
God will not be mocked. But some sources suggest He does have a sense of humor. That's lucky for Ellen. And for me. Though both of us may need a bit more than that . . .
* See "God is not a Magician with a Magic Wand," concerning miracles, evolution, etc.
This is so funny!
ReplyDeleteoh no. Is this real?
ReplyDeleteWe should never joke about God. Yes, I know I sound like that crabby old Church Lady, but seriously - God is, like, God, ya know. And He does not have a sense of humour.
ReplyDeleteLet them joke. We worship Him. This must be a trick video. Could even Francis have done this?
I want to share a little ditty I've been composing with readers of Mahound. It's called:
ReplyDeleteYes We (in) CAN (tation)
Hopery, changery, stranger-than-strangery
tip the good vicar your hat -
as he sits with Obama, the global Gautama
(twin idols indulging in chat).
Popery, popery, changery-hopery
grant the old Pontiff his wish.
Then summon a bishop to season and dish up
a kettle of catechized fish.
Changery, hopery - swing from the ropery,
garnish the Vatican stew.
The Cardinals compassed, the media rumpused
the Protestants joined in, too...
Fakery, changery, safety in dangery
lack of direction was lost
as it became clear that no concord was near
and the threshold of lunacy crossed .
Changery-hopery, soap-on-a-ropery,
buy the Obama a beer.
Let the Lord's liberation enlighten our nation
and forums and quorums get queer.
Hopery, changery, babe-in-a-mangery
hail the immaculate mess;
until limbo is purged and repentance is urged
and the canonized con-men confess.
Babilo-mockery, roll with the rockery
kiss the pontificate ring;
til' the old Argentinian wax Constantinian
causing Gods angels to sing.
Jiggery-pokery fooling the folkery
monkery second to none...
what was once sacrilegious is now a religious
conventional focus of fun.
Papacy, lunacy piping the tunacy
Father goose mothered the egg -
but it cracked in the nest while the stupefied West
lit a match to a gunpowder keg.
Yessiree/nopery - smoking the dopery
opiates dulling the masses
who bow genuflecting, with candles reflecting
the shine of their Latinate asses.
Fakery funkery, circus-time trunkery
hierophants never forget
but the pachyerm-trainer cut loose the restrainer
augmenting the national debt.
Piggery, smokery, tighten the chokery
offer the refugees bacon;
their mullahs may howl with a slaughterhouse scowl
but the continent's free for the takin'...
Bless me father for I have sinned...
(Don't get hit by the Popemobile.)

Should read "pachyDerm" in penultimate stanza.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that.
