"god" is a comedian, but the joke's on George...
so... "god" talks to Pat Robertson and tells him that the Iraq Invasion will be a big mess.

and "god" talks to the insipid chimp and tells him it will be a cakewalk, flowers and candy, no casualties.

then, "god" sits back and watches the cosmic ant farm that is humanity and has a big ass laugh.

so now, Mama Huge has to tell the media that an icon of their fundie 'base' is lying.

"god" doesn't even need a magnifying glass to make these ants scurry.

note to pat and george, whether it's facilitating genocide in Africa or blowing up frogs in Texas... or supporting illegal, immoral 'wars'...... "god" notices.

you've been punk'd.

1. And your explanation of the whole event is probably as close as
anyone will ever come to the truth. And you phrased it so well, I'm still laughing.

Big cosmic antfarm. Perfect.

3. Your irony is not lost on me...when I had cancer and thought I was going
to die, I, for some reason looked at the reality of 'ants'...and how ants lives are not important, only that fact that their dna (not part of the reality back then, but easier to explain now) survived and how my death would not be important, it was only that I have had a child, and will continue after my death. That was 30 years ago. I did not die..as you can see, but the ant analogy is very interesting! :kick:

8. interesting response.... if I might take it futher now...
"ants lives are not important"

well, ants lives are not important to us. they're quite important, one their level, to each other.

individual human lives are not important to a "god"

"god" has never intervened in human affairs. i mean, really... if there were an all-powerful, all-loving "god" wouldn't he intervene at least ONCE to let us know there really was hope from the 'divine'?

shortly after 9/11, my INSANE bushbot aunt sent me an article which stated that because one man had a bible on his desk in the South Tower, GOD 'nudged' (yes, that is a direct quote) the plane so he would be saved.

well, I BLASTED her. (at considerable family damage)

SO............. God picked THIS ONE GUY and let the other THREE THOUSAND die in horror and agony?


SO............ God nudged the plane but didn't catch ONE of the jumpers?

SO............ God nudged the plane but didn't protect the first responders who were crushed and burned.

Aunt ____, I have no use for your "god" and please NEVER send such hateful material to me again.

5. Maybe your right, God made an ex Yale cheerleader the second coming

of Christ?

Hmmm...I don't read the bible much (at all really) but do these born-agains really believe an anti-Christ would be outwardly evil? Or would an anti-Christ be more of a lying, smirking, pretending to be holy...but really a world dominating, cold, hateful bastard?

Perhaps they should read their bibles again, the book of Matthew in particular, about false prophets.

7. Off Topic... I Like To Think God Sees Us As Pets
Edited on Wed Oct-20-04 05:54 PM by cryingshame
He chuckles at our antics and worries when we don't come home at night.

Oops, and I forgot... God loves us unconditionally.
