I’ll take a business trip to death to see

What profits can be found.  The wisest men

Among philosophers present us free

Advice and do not try to make a yen,

Or buck or pound.  Religions, though, present

An offering plate.  They offer virgins, more

Than sixty-nine, so no one will resent

Restrictions in this life if he can score

So high in bed forever.  Other faiths

Insist that you will live, and live, and live

In many different forms, as traveling wraiths

From beast to beast.  These shifting souls forgive.

  $ome Chri$tian$ $ay you do not need to die.

    A megachurch can make you God’$ rich guy.
