FAMILY VALUES



THEY SAY
FOOLS RUSH IN
WHERE WISE MEN
FEAR TO TREAD

WELL HERE I GO AGAIN

IN MOST OF THE BIBLE
A WOMAN IS A MAN’S PROPERTY
FOR SEX
CHILDREN
KEEPING THE TENT CLEAN
SUPPER ON THE TABLE

IF SHE COMMITTED ADULTERY
IT WAS CONSIDERED THEFT OF SERVICES
SHE COULD BE PUT AWAY

IF HER HUSBAND COMMITTED ADULTERY
IT WAS WHAT GOOD OLD BOYS DO
NO BLAME WAS PUT ON HIM

I WONDER IF THAT WAS WHAT IS MEANT
BY BIBLICAL FAMILY VALUES

JESUS NEVER MARRIED
PAUL PUT CELIBACY ABOVE MARRIAGE
MARRY IF YOU HAVE TOO
BUT IT’S NOT ADVOCATED
AS FIRST CHOICE
BIBLICAL FAMILY VALUES

ABRAHAM HAD A WIFE
BUT IT WAS ALRIGHT TO FORCE HIMSELF
ON A SLAVE

A MAN HAD TO MARRY A WOMAN HE RAPED
GOOD BEGINNING THERE
LEAVES ONE WARM AND CUDDLY

THE FAMOUS PASSAGE
LOVE IS PATIENT
WAS WRITTEN
TO A CHURCH
RIFT WITH DISSENSION


OR WHEREVER YOU GO I SHALL GO
IS A DIALOGUE BETWEEN RUTH
AND HER MOTHER-IN-LAW

OR THE TOPPER
WHAT GOD HAS JOINED TOGETHER
THEY BECOME ONE FLESH
CHRIST IS TALKING ABOUT DIVORCE

THE BEST I CAN FIND
IS THE WEDDING AT CANA
WHERE CHRIST IS SILENT
EXCEPT FOR ARGUING WITH HIS MOTHER
AND AT HER INSISTENCE
CHANGED WATER INTO WINE

DO I HEAR
NON SEQUITUR 

PERSONALLY
I’M A HORNY
HETEROSEXUAL MALE

I LIKE THE IDEA
ABOUT WIVES BEING SUBMISSIVE TO YOUR HUSBAND
JUST AS CHILDREN MUST OBEY THEIR PARENTS
OR SLAVES THEIR MASTERS

WOW
FAMILY VALUES
GIMME SOME GOOD OLD FAMILY VALUES

IN THIS AGE
WHERE WE ARE DISCOVERING
MORE AND MORE
ABOUT HUMAN SEXUALITY

CAN WE WITH CHARITY
ENFORCE OLD MANDATES

TO DO SO
WE ARE SAYING
THAT GOD MAKES FLIES
SO HE CAN PULL THEIR WINGS OFF
