Subject: [Oe List ...] Christian militarism














 














Yesterday in church we sang a (different) hymn to the famous tune, and 
I was so offended by the triumphalist militarism of the famous hymn 
associated with singing that tune that it really set me off! So maybe 
at least we won't have to sing it again any time soon.

Here's my creative (and obviously satiric) response to the use of 
militaristic religious hymnody. Sing it loudly to get the full impact:


Onward, Christian Soldiers


Onward, Christian Soldiers


Marching to Iraq!


With an easy target


Painted on their back.


 


Theyʼll be dead or wounded


Or recalled for more


Duty in Afghanistan or


Other foreign shore.


 


Onward, Christian Soldiers


Marching to Iraq!


Never-ending conquest,


Terrorist attack.
