He is sure he is right and that God’s evangelical might
Is on his side.
His ignorance is invincible; his puffed-up pride:
Utterly predictable.
What causes such a man to be so incurious?
So fragile and yet so furious?
He who cannot read Hebrew, Greek, or Aramaic
Dares to wield his Bible against all perceived heretics.
What a mangled man of mischief!
What a misery-loving mammal!
He strains his water for gnats but swallows an entire camel.
