Psalm 23…piffle! I’m pulling out the big guns on this one…22, 109…maybe even 91 if I feel like being shielded against this menace.

You might think that say, that (name Middle Eastern zealot) is your problem, and seek to eliminate him, when he was a mere figurehead, and rubbing him out would only create a revered martyr, beloved of people who are far worse. If your kitchen’s only pest is a centipede, killing the centipede may not be your solution.
