Lindsay Perigo: For Easter -- A (Revised) Sermon From The Mount

Today's being the last show before the Easter break, I thought I'd do a sequel to my chat to God the other day - a retake of the Sermon on the Mount, since here too, I figure I can improve on the original:

Blessed are the poor in spirit - when they become rich in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of earth.

Blessed are they who mourn - when they get over it.

Blessed are the meek - when they become self-confident, for then they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they which do hunger & thirst after rights - when they do something about it, for then they shall become free.

Blessed are the merciful - when they learn to discriminate, for then they shall obtain justice.

Blessed are the pure in heart, since they must have been using their brains.

Blessed are the peacemakers - when they learn that it doesn't come at any price.

Blessed are ye when men shall revile you & persecute you & shall say all manner of evil against you falsely - when those men are Jim Anderton & Helen Clark.

Blessed are the rational, the independent, the honest, the productive, the just, the proud - for theirs is the glory of man.

Rejoice, & be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward on earth - when you have earned it.

Ye are the salt of the earth - but if the salt has lost its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? If ye become as sheeple, ye shall be trodden under the feet of politicians & bureaucrats.

Be ye instead the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.

Do not hide your light under a bushel, but let it so shine before men that they may see your vision of reason & freedom, & glorify it, & bring it to pass on earth.
