Kadizzle is not religious in any traditional sense, but he does know a few bible quotes. How did Kadizzle become familiar with the good book? Way back when Kadizzle was in grade school the old church ladies did something that would be highly illegal today. Essentially they forced all the school kids on Wednesdays to cross the street and attend bible classes at Vance Church. Those old ladies had no clue how to deal with our gang. So of course we tormented them. First thing that would happen as the class got underway would be Charlie Jones throwing my bible out the window. Mrs Old Lady would call on Kadizzle to read some bible verse. I would be forced to reply " I can"t my bible fell out the window. To which Mrs Old Lady would say " Didn"t your bible fall out the window last week?"
Writing about this brings back memories. One of the most peculiar memories from bible school on Wednesday was the teacher taking the role. As the teacher called out the names each person would say here. Very sadly a nice girl we went to school with had passed away from leukemia. The bible school teacher called out names and when she came to the girls name someone in the class shouted out " She's dead". What sticks in Kadizzles mind is that the teacher called out the next name and everyone acted as if it was normal for students to die periodically. The casual way it took place with even the teacher making no comment always struck Kadizzle as so strange.
Now the next way Kadizzle got into religion was by listening to crooked preachers. WWVA radio station in the home town broadcast crooked preachers every night from six in the evening until every last old lady was robbed. To fall asleep Kadizzle would listen the crooks explain how the bible wanted old ladies to send them money. Billy Grahm, Pat Robinson, and a host of other crooks are still at it today.
Well this gets to the rest of the story. For God knows how long Kadizzle has been writing two letters per month to the Bismarck Tribune. Strangely the Tribune publishes every one of them. Yesterday the editor called to verify the latest letter. The latest letter uses Kadizzle's Bible knowledge to fire a rocket up the ass of the evangelicals. Pointing out the hypocrisy of evangelicals in the Trump era is so much fun. So thank you Mrs. Kiester (that was the real name of Mrs. Old Lady who taught bible school).
