Separation of Church and Truth
I encourage bigotry
against bigots
churlish churchers
doctrine-dependent
and god-hobbled
mistaking pathos for accuracy
servicing a phobiary
retrofitted ethics
native naivete
apotropaic compliance
compassion theater
damning with faint prayers
the intrinsic push-pull
of the heart in the world
