“I’m actually a big believer in the principles of Christianity."
—Elon Musk
"If you don’t believe in God, at least believe in beauty."
—Roger Scruton to Ayaan Hirsi Ali
On this fine day in 2025,
God grants me grace—I'm still alive!
No thanks to Mumbo-Jumbo,
Lord of the knacker’s yard,
The whale hunt, slave barracoons,
Auschwitz, and abattoirs,
Whose horrors grieve the sickened stars.
Think but of Mozart and of J. S. Bach,
the Fifth Evangelist, Roger Scruton says.
Such works as theirs surely outweigh
Mumbo-Jumbo’s cruelties and lies!
I claim them, too! God damn your eyes!
Stop slighting our great Mumbo's work
And making Jumbo out a jerk!
Adore them or be judged a dope,
Who enter here, as Dante sighs.
A buck or two will buy you rope.
