Maimonides made Judaism fit
into the box that Aristotle built
explaining that the key to all of it
was rationality, not merely guilt
aristotelian God imposed on texts
that seem to show that He evolved with time
meant scrubbing out His body and His sex
ascribing attributes must be a crime
how much of this would Avraham not get
would he be stuck with Moshe in row eight
of cheder, puzzling over alef-bet
while front-row students relish the debate?
this apikoros God would need no blood
and wouldn't wipe His planet out in flood
