Scripture’s Just a Whistle in the Dark

Matthew didn’t write Matthew
the gospel of Mark wasn’t written by Mark
Paul only wrote about half the epistles
Scripture’s just a whistle in the dark

Moses didn’t write the Pentateuch
and probably didn’t exist at all
and the Exodus plain didn’t happen
The walls of Jericho didn’t fall

Heracles never wrestled a lion
and his father wasn’t King of the Gods
Clark Kent never turned into Superman
which works out pretty well for Zod

Does it matter who wrote the bible
Should we be guided by a bunch of old myths
and if age of the stories matter
shouldn’t we go back further to the hieroglyphs?

Anubis was ruling the underworld
when Yahweh was in diapers so to speak
ask me my religion on a Sunday I say Ra boy
but I’m an atheist the rest of the week
