taking the hypocritic oath: above all, do harm

We give ourselves permission
to blow up women, children and men.
Remind me I need to renew our Sam's Club membership.
The Israeli's give themselves permission
to slaughter children, women and men.
But they are simply carrying out God's plan.
Have you seen my other earring?

The Palestinians give themselves permission
to destroy men, children, women.
Exactly! That is why they must be destroyed.
Do you have the car keys?

The Chinese give themselves permission
to kill men, women, children.
Well, you know how they are. Like ants. Unreasonable.
Hurry! We are going to be late!

Nations are diseased.
Religions drip with venom.
Ideologies are for idiots.
Honey, you need to stop thinking about these things.
You know how it upsets you.

Sometimes I think hatred is a stronger force than love.
The two walk hand in hand you know.
What is the Reverend speaking of tonight?
The Holiness of War.
