The Bigot's Creed - 10/27/00 08:36 PM

I ran into a book that collected good and famous quotations. Here's one:

Bigot's Creed:

Believe as I believe--no more, no less.
That I am right, and no one else, confess.
Feel as I feel, think only as I think,
Eat what I eat and drink but what I drink.
Look as I look, do always as I do,
And only then I'll fellowship with you.
That I am right and always right I know
Because my own convictions tell me so.
To deviate a job or to begin
To question, doubt, or hesitate is sin.
Let sink the drowning man if he'll not swim
Upon the plank that I throw out to him.
Let starve the famishing, if he'll not eat
My kind and quantity of bread and meat.
Let freeze the naked, too, if he'll not be
Supplied with garments such as made for me.
'Twere better that the sick should die than live
Unless they take the medicine I give.
'Twere better sinners perish than refuse
To be conformed to my peculiar views.
'Twere better that the world stood still than move
In a way that I do not approve.

I read this in Proverbs last night:

"Fools have no interest in understanding, they only want to air their own opinions."
Proverbs 18:2 NLT
