30.5.21

 

Clang clang clang went the trolley
                                    hats off  to the destabilising tendency of evangelism   were crawlin in it

in the early 19th century Thomas Green Fessendem satirised it

A stupid wretch, who cannot read,

(A very likely thing indeed)

Receives from Heaven a calling;

He leaves his plough, he drops his hoe,

Gets on his meeting clothes, and lo,

Sets up the trade of bawling.


likewise Tocqueville observed
                               preachers seem equally concerned with “eternal felicity in the next world” and “prosperity in this.”

  that spinning  trying to throw America off its modern axis is the Founding Fathers in their graves the rationalist secularism they imagined has rotted blowflies are laying eggs  maggots are emerging 
                                                                                           might be an astute observation 
he didnt know a soul who ever laid eyes on a maggot that wasnt white
