Indeed. Many atheists have plenty of other strange beliefs, therefore clearly I am your God Even atheistlogic demands worshipping me.

Hard to defeat the "Comrade" is it not...?

Didn't you used to be a prophet of "teh Lord God Putin," Tass/Tassi/Tacc/whoever? Or am I thinking of someone else? I'm just saying, most of us aren't comfortable worshipping apostates...

I used to be in hiding about my divinity (because I work in mysterious ways like that :|) and it is indeed true that Putin is an exceptional mortal, and so I pretended to worship him in order to get the rest of you to do so.

But really, your level of comfort is irrelevant. Since whatever I say is true, and since I am God, you have to worship me regardless. I transcend urlogic. Just have faith - it feels a lot better

And now for the first link: A parable about god, religious commandments, and the whole "do as I say, you will get rewarded after death" thing : Kissing Hank's Ass

I really wish morons would stop giving the rest of us non-believers a bad name

Really guys, the soapbox tv preachers do the secular cause all the good it needs. You aren't going to convince anyone by making up (or linking to) stupid parables that are so logically flawed that an arts student (even filosofy) could drive a truck through them.

Also, every day I have my suspicions about America being the root of all evil (or stupidity, at least) reaffirmed

rest of us non-believers

I will tell the truth: I created Australia in the knowledge that one day all the idiots would congregate there, making it easier for me to convert them all at once upon my great return.

Things are going according to my plan

So you are accepting your Mormonism now?

Er, such as what ?


And which atheists appointed you as their mouthpiece ?

'Most', my arse.

And when did you carry out this extensive survey ?

And which atheists asked you too ?


Typical pomo post-structuralist Kristeva-lite Francophone vagueness, based on a diet of Chateauvallon repeats, half-remembered Denys Arcand dialogue, a poor production of 'Hosanna' and a surfeit of lampreys and flan Breton.

Like Dr. Johnson, 'I refute it thus' and go back to enjoying the unalloyed genius of Les Negresses Vertes.


I am, cher maitre, yours et cetera....

I thought you would be Ockham shaving... care to show the opposite then ?

I don't shave my Occams for just any old handsome Quebecois.

If you go back and read my post, note that I said I was not trying to convince anybody. I just said I thought the parable was funny, which I believe it is.

The parable does have a good semblance to arguments which have historically been used. Say, Pascals Wager. But they seem to have gone out of style lately, as people have become more educated.
