As in the skeptic games, this is a case of my own post not following my own rules. But it's probably justified occasionally - the big beasts of the blogworld like Pharyngula and Bad Astronomy rightly get plenty of traffic and plenty of publicity, but these odd carnivals are a chance for some less prominent posters to get a little more exposure. So all 19 submitted, in order of receipt:
01. If you swear upon a book of fiction
Does that excuse some faulty diction?
02. If sexuality's a choice, as you say,
When d'you decide you're not gay?
03. It still makes me wonder and chuckle
That religion makes grown adults suckle
04. You have no right to tell me what to do
Who to love and who to screw
05. Lots of loud and mad debates
Between those who take and make their fates
06. A founding father he may be
But Paine was hardly G.O.P.
07. Remember just who is the boss
The one who orders up this toss
08. Murderous dictators, he honestly said,
Are not as bad as old P-Zed
09. Pious man dies, that's a shame
Pious man saved, god's to blame
10. "Blindly follow these rules"
Orders for zealots and fools
11. We carry more hope than we should
But that's not necessarily good
12. If our bodies are so well "designed"
Then the designer who did it was blind
13. We're really not all the same
Except that we don't play that game
14. Like a snowball that's rolling downhill
The Ickefest is gathering swill
15. God may be sexy and hot
But merciful? No, he is not.
16. Oxymoron for christian nation
Simply: science education
17. Bible Magic's what he saw
He'd like to call it vjack's law
18. And to lead this godless fold
Newly ordained Rev'rend Gold
19. To end this back where we began
Obama. Wait to judge the man.

Wow, you made them all a mini-poem. Nice.
The ickefest is gathering swill? I'm pretty sure it reached saturation point about 7 years ago. Unless we set Icke on fire, no more swill can be held...
Very nice!
It is not easy to distill a complex thought into a rhymed couplet--I am impressed!
... what? There's more? There are actually good articles to read?
