Tautological Hubris

Jim Craven

 

We,

are Americans,

"Number One", you know,

just ask us;

"Number One" in what?

money, for instance,

and that buys everything else

of "worth".

We are the most, among nations,

in God's Grace;

How do we know?

we're "Number One",

and only those in God's Grace,

would God make "Number One",

that is the evidence, the "proof",

it is all very Calvinist,

and purely tautological.

And only those in God's Grace,

have the "Truth",

that is also the evidence, the "proof",

that we are in God's grace,

since only those with the "Truth",

could be in God's Grace,

it is all very Calvinist,

and purely tautological.

And how can those with the "Truth",

be wrong?

or not act in accordance with the "Truth"?

and that is the evidence, the "proof",

that we have the "Truth",

and act in accordance with it,

because what we believe,

and what we do,

keeps us in God's Grace,

"therefore", we must have the "Truth",

and must be acting in accordance with it,

it is all very Calvinist,

and purely tautological.

And since those who have the "Truth",

and act in accordance with it,

are the Good and the Blessed,

,we must be the Good and Blessed,

we have the "Truth",

and act in accordance with it,

which means that those who do not believe as we do,

or act as we act,

must not have the "Truth",

or be acting in accordance with it,

they must not be in God's Grace,

they must be Evil and the Damned;

it is all very Calvinist,

and purely tautological.
