Fractally Wrong

text these three simple words

to a hundred people you know

because unsolicited text messages

are the best way to spread a

blinding flash of the obvious

the antithesis of Nietzsche's maxim

Americans need to be reminded

that churches still dot all corners,

that the money and the pledge

are still sacrosanct,

that the first amendment represents

their foundational viewpoint only

and yet the Muslim man

who ejects his Christian

daughter from her own

home doesn't have the

same amount of conviction

for his beliefs as his

offspring does for hers

no, wait, Muslims worship

a false idol that died

with the resurrection

of Christ

their god is the dead one,

not the Christian one

practically equal numbers

of adherents doesn't make

one faith truer than the other

and the critics will

never understand,

because doubting

one's conviction as

true is the first

step toward

real persecution

and unleashing

the apocalypse

and yet some,

if not many,

have the Perry Stone

mentality that

Jesus is coming again

in the next fifteen

minutes, even if the

predictions are always 

wrong

fractally wrong, in fact

one out of a sand

grain's chance of

being selected is

still more than zero,

no matter if the count

is systemically long

or systemically short

one happening means

the promise is still there,

because it happened

and that's it

the infinite love of

an infinite being

always cancels out

the number of zeroes

after the one,

no matter the radix

being used and abused

and no matter the

radix, those simple

words will go out to

a world full of full-on

skeptics and possible

doubters

god's not dead,

and it's the Christian one

no quarter is to be

given otherwise
