He has a lot of nerve preaching about blasphemy when he admitted to cheating on his wife.

She may have forgiven him, but people haven't forgotten.

Remember 'Love Letters in the Sand"?

I never followed him through the years. Now glad I didn't.

Anyone remember the picture of him in the get-up with the fringe? I tried to find it but no luck. He is one of the old timers who managed to destroy his history. What a doofus!

"Of all the strange "crimes" that human beings have legislated out of nothing, blasphemy is the most
amazing—with obscenity and indecent exposure fighting it out for second and third place."

Old Time Religion

Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It's good enough for me.

We will pray with Aphrodite,
We will pray with Aphrodite,
She wears that see-through nightie,
And it's good enough for me.

We will pray with Zarathustra,
We'll pray just like we use ta,
I'm a Zarathustra booster,
And it's good enough for me.

We will pray with those Egyptians,
Build pyramids to put our crypts in,
Cover subways with inscriptions,
And it's good enough for me.

We will pray with those old druids,
They drink fermented fluids,
Waltzing naked though the woo-ids,
And it's good enough for me.

We do dances to bring water,
Prepare animals for slaughter,
Sacrifice our sons and daughters,
And it's good enough for me.

I'll arise at early morning,
When my Lord gives me the warning,
That the solar age is dawning,
And it's good enough for me

...who made the Milky Way Galaxy of 400 billion stars, of which our sun is just one, and who made countless billions of galaxies will countless zillions of stars and a virtually infinite number of worlds (cue Carl Sagan...)

...gets butthurt when a hairless ape from a pale blue dot in the unfashionable arm of a small galaxy calls Him a "Boob Man"

PUNISH THE BLASPHEMERS! Because even though he's the creator of the universe, he makes Donald Trump look secure and well-endowed by comparison.

Big creation, little fingers... If I had any artistic talent, I'd make a spoof of Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam that had God sporting a micropenis...

Not mainstream Islam, but rather the extreme variant that also seeks to punish blasphemy and other offenses that are deemed detrimental to a theocratic medieval society. You are now ready to get your wish. Now, go join them and see how this all works.
