science has spoken

by joe e. holman, at debunking christianity:

'you are wounded, oh religion.
the still-warm blood runs down your side as you say it did your savior on the cross.
my soldiers in white coats have maimed you.
they have crippled you, leaving you to limp away a casualty from the battlefield.

and now, on the loser’s end, with my chipped and crimson sword laid at your throat, you plead for mercy.
you beg me to spare your life.
you ask for compassion and for understanding from me, science.
you want to be held up and accepted.

know that i, science, have no obligation to hear you.
better it is that you should die, as all things old and decrepit.
but out of compassion and mercy, i grant you what you seek.'
