The Atheist Alphabet

THE ATHEIST'S ALPHABET

 

A is for atheist, a thinker so deep/he's knocked the old Bible all into a heap.

B is for Bible, a book to be scorned/It's merely crude fables and lies unadorned.

C is for Christmas, a holiday that/atheists find to be hollow & flat.

D is for deity – what a fine joke!/for those who depend upon magic and hoke.

E is for election, a factor of grace/which atheists think is capricious and base.

F is for faith, something atheists dread/It lives in the heart but takes over the head!

G is for god – which is kept lower case/The concept itself is a bitter disgrace.

H is for hell, where the atheists go/to prove there's no such thing up above or below.

I is for Israel, the Chosen of God/Do atheists dare call it just a façade?

J is for justice, which the atheist loves/along with clear thinking and sleek leather gloves.

L is for lungs, a great tool that they fill/with tidings of doubt and a heap of ill-will.

N is for nothing – or void, or black hole/which I guess, after death, is the atheist's goal.
