Don't Try Suicide

Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!”

 Then he pushed with all his might, 

and down came the temple on the rulers 

and all the people in it. 

Thus, he killed many more 

when he died

 than while he lived.

~Judges 16:30

Cutt Off

 Even that it would please God to destroy me; 

that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!

~ Job 6:9

Merry Tit-Mouse To You

Let’s go to Bethlehem 

and see this thing that has happened, 

which the Lord has told us about.

~ Luke 2:15

Cockney Rebel

Two rebels were crucified with him, 

one on his right and one on his left.

~  Matthew 27:38

Lucky Like Saint Sebastian

Once upon a time there was a man called Saul
Who persecuted Christians until he saw
The work was bearing fruit for the Christians
So the man changed his opinions and his Christian name to Paul

And he wrote important chapters in the Bible
But the blood on his writing hand reeked to high heaven
And Paul resolved to die

So he wrote to friends in Rome
A senator who owed him a favour
Asking for an executioner
So Paul could make his exit as a martyr
The senator sent this answer:

He said "Should you be so lucky like St Sebastian
Preferring the ache to the aspirin
Swooning as they shoot the arrows
Through your narrow chest
Stripping naked in the Circus Maximus
With a martyr-eating lioness
Bartering with flesh for a little pain
Scenes like this give sadomasochism a bad name"

~ Nick Currie "MOMUS"

You Samaritans worship what you do not know; 

we worship what we do know, 

for salvation is from the Jews.

~  John 4:22

Bubbles Burst

Sucked into the vortex.

 

You, Lord God Almighty, 

You who are the God of Israel, 

rouse yourself to punish all the nations; 

show no mercy to wicked traitors.

~  Psalm 59:5

Motherless Child

Those who were musicians, heads of Levite families,

stayed in the rooms of the temple 

and were exempt from other duties 

because they were responsible for the work 

day and night.

Bye Bye Blackbird

After forty days 

Noah opened a window 

he had made in the ark 

 and sent out a raven, 

and it kept flying back and forth 

until the water had dried up from the earth.

Your men will die violently
    while your forces  fall  in battle
 and her gates lament and mourn.
    Ravaged, she will sit on the ground...
