That makes me want to see a new Predator film where the Crucifixtion was actually a trophy moment for a successful hunt.

 

I have one question for everyone.
If you were god, how would you have created the earth and all the animals here and in the past? How would your power be displayed?

 

All animals get working organic clown noses.

 

I would reveal myself in such a way so as to be indistinguishable from the ramblings of primitive nomadic goat herders who didn't even know where the sun went at night.

 

I would have created a whole species of beezels

 

There would be no continents. The planet would basically be a giant archipelago. The apex predators would be Godzilla-style monsters who -from time to time - would fly or swim to a nearby island to do battle with its monster/s. I would look down upon these battles from the clouds and smile, pleased with my creation.

 

the irony being that we already have that. we are all beezel

 

And this is what happens when you allow religious invocations

 

Speak for yourself, old bean. That particular cluster of cells belongs to an entirely different gene pool. In all likelihood one cooked up in error at an underground lab in Virginia.

 

Moron-i

 

Oh noes!! run and hide run and hide!

There's people on this planet with different belief structures than you!!!

Be afraid!!! Be very very afraid!!!!

 

Well there's this wonderful correlation between believing in imaginary, numinous beings and using that belief to justify wholesale slaughter in their name. So, yes, we ought be afraid for such people are rarely troubled by rationality.

 

Well it's obvious you live you life in terrified fear of people who think different from you, but if you think Christians are the ones engaging in "wholesale slaughter" in our modern world in the name of their religion, then you need to open your eyes.

Seriously. You don't need to live your life in fear all the time. A little education goes a long way.

 

Yes, I am of course exceedingly stupid and fearful, only hold 3 degrees and diploma.

You can tell by the way I embrace such not-frightened ideologies as conservatism and monotheism.

 

Stupidity is quite scary though. Like, I was scared the other day when I could see in the rearview mirror that the driver behind me was doing her makeup, talking on the phone, texting, curling her hair and trying to get a a coffee stain or something out of her pants whilst driving. Religious people are kind of a bit like that.

 

My parents have given up on the whole going to church thing for the most part. I personally think public worship is a joke.

 

I've seen people eating bowls of breakfast cereal while driving, but if Jesus is at the wheel it must be ok.

 

When Jesus comes back with all his wizards you guys are ****ed.

 

If I don't admit I'm head-over-heels in love with Satan and all his little wizards, then Daveed (a Spaniard) will remove my testicles with a blunt instrument resembling some kind of gardening tool but we can't quite... Um, and roast them of a large fire.

Whereas if I don't admit that I'm in love with Satan and all his little wizards, then you will hold me upside down in a vat of warm marmalade and remove my testicles with a blunt...

Oh, I see. Well. Well, in that case, I love Satan!
